# WINDOWS

Prerequisite for packaging:

* You need Wix 4 tools installed, probably with DOTNET installed first.

Compile:

````dos
  rustup update
  cargo build --features=lang-cjk --release
````

Copy the binary to the packaging directory

````dos
  cp ..\..\target\release\gossip.exe .
````

Copy the gossip.png here

````dos
  cp ..\..\logo\gossip.png .
````

For new versions of gossip, update `gossip.wxs`:

* UPDATE the Package.Version, SummaryInformation.Description
* UPDATE the Package.ProductCode GUID to a new one
* KEEP the UpgradeCode GUID (it should never change, it ties different versions together)
* Change a component GUID ONLY IF the absolute path changes.

Packaging:

````dos
  wix build gossip.VERSION.wxs
````

Upload to github releases.

----
To install the package, either double-click the MSI, or

````dos
  msiexec /i gossip.msi
````

To remove the package from your windows computer:

````dos
  msiexec /x gossip.msi
````
