Hi all, This post to discuss about the new Windows Installers [1] and some improvements and because I would like to have a feedback.
If you are looking for the installers for the server and the clients, you will
find them if you uncompress the "All In One" ;-)
Attention: This installer only contains the base addon because it's just a test
for feedback.
For feedback, you can send me an email !
1. We use the profiles
======================
We propose some profiles:
* All In One: Will install the Server and the Clients and/or the PostgreSQL
database
* Server: Will install the Server and/or the PostgreSQL database
* GTK Client
* Web Client
* Custom
2. Each installer is independent
================================
For the uninstallation, we don't uninstall the PostgreSQL database.
With this feature, you can upgrade your OpenERP installation without to
uninstall the PostgreSQL database and therefore without making a backup of the
databases.
Result: You can upgrade the OpenERP installation (v6.0) with the new Installer
(6.0.0 -> 6.0.1)
Even if the All In One is installed, you can separately upgrade the Clients or
the Server and the addons to a new version
2.1. Registry Structure
-----------------------
Each component of the AllInOne Installer has its own structure in the registry
of Windows.
With this improvement, you can upgrade the AllInOne 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 without to
uninstall the previous installer.
[code]
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OpenERP 6.0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OpenERP Server 6.0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OpenERP Web Client 6.0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OpenERP GTK Client 6.0
[/code]
2.2. Directory Structure
------------------------
For this version, there is a new directory structure, with this new structure,
it's possible to install OpenERP 5.0 and >= 6.0
[code]
C:\Program Files\OpenERP 6.0\
\Server
\Client
\Web
\PostgreSQL
[/code]
3. PostgreSQL is optional
=========================
If PostgreSQL is installed on the system, the user can't select the "Install
PostgreSQL database" section, but can configure the connection to the
PostgreSQL server
The installation of the server will propose a screen for the configuration of
PostgreSQL.
