Speller meeting

What is needed for a new release:

  • a working installer
  • working plx conversion

Installer

Variablar for installeraren:

  • Variablar relevante for om ting funkar i det heile:
    • Office-versjon: 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013
    • Windows-versjon: XP, Vista, W7, W8
    • språkkode: ISO (se-NO) vs LCID (1083)
    • bit-versjon for Windows: 32b vs 64b
  • variablar uavhengig av grunnleggjande funksjonalitet:
    • Office-utgåve: home/student vs pro/full
    • installeringsmodus: admin/rot/nett vs lokal brukar vs terminalserver

Verkty for debugging:

  • dependencywalker

DONE:

  • run dependencywalker on our dll's to check what the dependencies are, and possibly add dependency reqiurements to the MSI package (Børre) - nothing found
  • check with Geir Tore whether we can get a couple of Windows and Office versions for testing (Børre) - waiting for mail about access to those versions from Anders Ryssdal

TODO:

  • test MSI package, esp. with admin install and different Win/Office combos ( UiT/IT, Sjur)
  • compare different sets of registry entries, to try to find differences tbat can explain the terminal server bug (Børre)
  • we need to get feedback on how the new installer works when installed as admin - does it work for all users without further actions? (Børre)

POSTPONED:

  • find an outsourcing option (Børre, Sjur)
  • next week: try updating NSIS ourselves (Børre, Sjur)
    • using Tino's documentation & old docu's from PLX
  • send a request to an NSIS developer e-mail list (Sjur)
  • try to find an NSIS script for building MSI packages (Børre)
  • add Windows 8 support to our installer (if possible)

PLX conversion

One ommission - that can't explain the reduced size - is that particles like almma, bat, ges, han have been lost in the latest spellers. — FIXED in the latest svn, but no speller yet, and thus no speller test results.

Remaining PLX bugs:
