The filename of the installer

Submitted by lwc on June 23, 2009 - 7:02am

Until 0.95.1 it was:
ClamWin_Portable_{version}.paf.exe

In 0.95.2 it became:
ClamWinPortable_{version}_{language}.paf.exe

In other words, no underscore in the program's name and a new language variable.

I need a steady name for script purposes. Will you stick to the new format for now?

Thanks!

Should be stable

It should be stable now. It was to do with better integration and simplification of folder names, the build process, and things like that. The values are now got from App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini, AppID, DisplayVersion (processed) and Language (if not "Multilingual").

How are you using it in a script?

My script checks the installer's version

My VBScript (that runs each time Windows restarts) grabs the {version} part from my main computer. It then compares it against the local [Version]'s DisplayVersion in ClamWinPortable\App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini

It only runs the installer if DisplayVersion < {version}
