Description
Create a nice installation script so the user don't have to run any distribution files, setting upp folders, shortcuts, environment and so on. Much like the beautiful *setup.exe* most other programs have.
Such a script should
- [ ] Create a shortcut on the desktop.
- [ ] Create the *MtG-cards*-folder the program uses for file input/output.
- [ ] Create the folder *C:\Program Files (x86)\ReadMagicCard* in which the program files are to be stored.
- [ ] Running the *vcredist_x86.exe* redistribution file, and any other files making it possible to run without having Visual Studio installed.
The script should also make it possible to
- [ ] Uninstall the program from the nativ Windows tool page.
- [ ] Update the program by running a newer installation file.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing how the current distribution files and vcredist_x86.exe are packaged and how the program currently expects the MtG-cards folder. The work is done when a Windows installer creates the shortcut, folders, dependencies, and program installation, and supports native uninstall and updates.
