wyInstall

Hi.

I have been using your fantastic wyBuild for quite a while now and I am absolutely loving it! It helps me focus on the actual application instead of tinkering with annoying update problems all the time!

This is not exactly the right forum topic, but here it goes anyway:

Have you considered creating a similar application for installing applications?

I have tried several variants of install applications, but they are not exactly what I would call "easy to use". Sure, they have alot of features, but if you have to sit and read the documentation for several hours every single time you want to use them, it doesn't really matter what they can do. wyBuild has all the features one could want AND it has a great user interface, I suspect you would be able to do something similar with an install application.

(right now I am trying to get to grips with the bootstrapper functionality of WiX and I would have had no problems getting my company to pay a nice sum for wyInstall instead of me sitting here wasting time ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

Hey Mattias,

Thanks, that means a lot.

Yes, it's coming in wyBuild 2.8. (We're working heavily on this feature, among others). There's no hard release date, yet, though. So unfortunately you'll still have to suffer through the other crummy installer makers for now.

This is indeed great news! Thanks again!

Another vote for wyinstall! wyupdate has been brilliant for our product. We are just moving to VS2012 and the installer project from VS2010 doesn't work.

We would love a wyinstall of the same quality and ease of use.

Nag, nag, nag, nag.... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just a friendly reminder that we are anxiously awaiting the installer application ๐Ÿ˜‰

Any news yet? This would be a nice christmas gift ๐Ÿ˜‰

Any news yet?

It's coming (along with other features). No hard date yet.

News for 2.8?over 1 year waiting for this update ๐Ÿค”

Still coming. We've written about this in other threads, but the reason for the delay was the ditching of a large chunk of work for technical reasons. This ate a fair bit of time and required us to "tread parallel ground" so to speak.

In other words: have patience.

I'm back! ๐Ÿ˜€

Is this still on the roadmap? I realized today that it is still worth waiting for this... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yep, installer ability is being added to the next version.
