VIP Examples installation suggestions

Unread post by Harrison Pratt »

It would be a nice touch if the user could specify the location where the Examples files are to be installed.

Also, the installer is named vipDemo11.1.msi but something like vipExamples11.1.msi would make easier to figure out what the installer file actually does at some later date.

It is a and have always been a bit strange to handle the example programs with an installer. I guess the alternative would be a zip archive. That would give full flexibility with regards to "installation folder". We could probably provide them in both formats.

Hello there

It would be a useful feature to let users choose where example files should be installed in order to improve user experience. The renaming the installer from vip demo11.1.msi to vip examples11.1.msi would also make it easier to identify in the future by giving it a stronger understanding about what is within. This method increases usability by making sure users may arrange files in a way that meets their needs and understand the installer's purpose easily.
