Release with Squirrel

[TartanLeGrand]

I tried to release Neutronium SPA DEMO, but when I want to create an installer with Squirrel and I install it I have nothing that launches.

Is there a particular installation strategy?

I have it working just fine. Nothing particularly complicated just add everything in the nuspec file and make sure the entry points u have only one entry application in your exe manifest as squirrel documentation suggests. Those were the only troubles i got because there were several exes being deployrd with application. You need also to have the needed squirrel code to make sure updates are detected. But i supose you have handle that part.

Thanks @jmecosta, but I checked this configuration and it didn't work...

Here is my nuspec file :

  </files>
</package>

Squirrel installs 2 applications for me: Neutronium and ChromiumFXRenderProcess. Neither of them launch the application.

U need to add to the assemblyinfo.cs that only your app should be launched/create shortcuts. I can provide and example next week, if u havent figure it out by the

@TartanLeGrand you need the Neutronium and ChromiumFXRenderProcess exe to be installed in the same directory because when launched Neutronium application will try to launch ChromiumFXRenderProcess.

When ChromiumFXRenderProcess is not found everything may fail silently unefortunatelly.

@David-Desmaisons after installing with the squirrel. My folder contains the 2 exe neutronium App & ChromiumFXRenderProcess.

Did you try to use Clickonce and compare the output with the one you get from squirel?

[TartanLeGrand]

It's work with Clickonce... I compared the files. Clickonce's structure is very different from Squirrel's. But the files are pretty much the same. Only the manifest files are added to Clickonce.

Hi @TartanLeGrand did you manage to solve this issue?

[TartanLeGrand]

Hi @David-Desmaisons , the last few tests I ran were not conclusive.
