At this point Sage just hangs on startup at backing up object database so I think its either registry or dll registration.

Yeah, probably DLL registration. The registry mostly contains entries related to the various capture interfaces that are preconfigured in sage, and some settings for directshow. Neither of which would really be required on startup (I think).

Update:

I was finally able to find a method to extract the MSI from the SageTV7 Wise exe installer so I could then run it through a tool called Orca to determine which files needed to be registered. I then added them into WIX to SelfRegister and that resolved a number of issues.

I then discovered that I needed to run SageTV.exe as admin to get it to launch (have not installed the service yet). That then allowed SageTV to fully launch except just a blank display. After debuging that pointed to DirectX 9 runtime needed to be installed. I manually installed that and SageTV is now running.

So I need to.....

- update the installer to include DirectX9 if missing
- add the default registry settings
- add the install of the SageTV Service
- AND configure the installer interface with EULA, EPG code etc.
- Oh...and then do the client (very similar) and placeshifter (minor I think) installers

Lots to do but I am getting closer.

This is really great news! I think having a Windows installer will go a long ways toward (re)building the user base. I've been excited to get my friends and family hooked on Sage but don't want to expose them to the fractured install process.

Thanks for your work.

Thanks for all the show of support....if I had ANY idea how much work this was I would have never started

Anyway....still making progress.

- DirectX9 components are part of the install and SageTV9 starts properly now.
- Folder permissions are now set properly so SageTV does not need to be run as Admin

Only 2 items crossed off but a big step regardless.

For those interested in testing I am not sure I will get something out this weekend as I also have a honey do list but I will keep this updated as I go.

I am defiantly familiar with the honey do list, but if you do get something ready for testing I would be happy to test.

Wanted to add my thanks for your work on this as well - happy to see that the community is carrying on and I think the Windows Installer will help us get new users.
THANKS!

No problems, I can hold on a bit longer.

Freudian slip? OR on purpose?

Question....

Is it a valid option to want to install BOTH client and server on the same PC or is this more of an OR option....client OR server!

I know the server can be run as a client so any value in offering the install of both?

BTW....good progress today. Registry and the service install is complete.

Working on the interface options and then EPG environment registration code next.

Another request....

Jeff/Opus/Others....

Does anyone have the png files for the installer? They would likely be a 64x64 logo file and a 165x400 sidelogo file.

I have not found a way to extract these from the MSI/EXE installers and it would be nice to include these if they are available somewhere.

Thanks
k

I will answer my own question as I plan to change the approach and move to an installer built for each product....Server, Client and Placeshifter...same as the old way. I think it's cleaner in the installer project code for longer term maintenance and the only real downside is that users need to download more than one installer file. (It will also make upgrades cleaner).

I think in the past it was possible to install both on the same PC. However, I'm pretty sure you had to install them to different directories - if you let them both install to the default location, stuff would get overwritten and would not work properly.

I can't think of a reason to do this in a production environment. However, it may be useful for a developer who wants to test stuff with only one PC.

I can likely recreate them for you if need be. Is that the dimensions Wix wants for them?

That would be great....and yes...that's the sizes of the png files WIX wants.

I have included 2 samples from WIX





Thanks
