WINDOWS

Prerequisite for packaging:

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

Compile:

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

Copy the binary to the packaging directory

  cp ..\..\target\release\gossip.exe .

Copy the gossip.png here

  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:

  wix build gossip.VERSION.wxs

Upload to github releases.

---

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

  msiexec /i gossip.msi

To remove the package from your windows computer:

  msiexec /x gossip.msi
