Speeding up the Windows installation

Question

Speeding up the Windows installation

Opened this issue a year ago · 5 comments

I downloaded the latest Windows installer, seed7_05_20191117_win.exe, from the files/bin folder of the SourceForge project. When prompted, I chose to download the latest version, 2023-07-09, for the installation, but for whatever reason, it didn't download.

Therefore, I downloaded the latest ".tgz" version, seed7_05_20230709.tgz, separately and put it in the same folder as the seed7_05_20191117_win.exe installer. When I confirmed that I wanted to install the manually downloaded archive, the "Searching for a Seed7 archive file" screen displayed a "Not Responding" message in the banner for a long time as it attempted to complete the search process.

Would the search operation have been faster if I had exited the installation process and started again from scratch? Does the installer search from the root of the hard disk in its search for the archive file? If so, might it be better to begin in the same folder from which the installer was launched and then continue to other folders if the archive file is not found?

One further question: can one avoid the UAC prompt for running the "setwpath.exe" if the installation is run from an Administrative command prompt? In this way, the installation process can be left unattended without any further delay after the update of the PATH environment variable.

Kind Regards,
Liam

Hi Thomas (@ThomasMertes),

In the How can I install Seed7? section of the FAQ, it mentions that for Windows one should open a CMD console as Administrator and run the make install command. The action adds the /bin directory to the system PATH.

Would you therefore recommend, that for running the downloaded Windows installer, that one should also run it as an Administrator in the same way as mentioned in this section of the FAQ?

Kind Regards,
Liam

I just uploaded the new Windows installer, seed7_05_20230709_win.exe, to the files/bin folder of the SourceForge project.

In my tests it is able to download the latest version, 2023-07-09. It also includes 2023-07-09 so it can install it even if there is no internet connection.

I also improved the search for a manually downloaded Seed7 release (seed7_05_yyyymmdd.tgz). Now, the search starts in the same folder from which the installer was launched and then the search continues in home directory of the user.

Regarding the UAC prompt at the end of the installation process: I assume that the installer is started as normal user. The installer compiles Seed7 from source. All created files (object files, libraries, executables, etc.) belong to this user. The UAC is just used for running the "setwpath.exe" program. If the installation would be run from an Administrative command prompt all the created files would belong to this administrative user. So there might be problems if a normal user tries to change them afterwards (I have not tested this). So I recommend starting the installer as normal user.

If you do compile from the CMD console I also suggest doing all steps as normal user and just the make install step as Administrator.

Hi Thomas (@ThomasMertes),

Thanks for creating the seed7_05_20230709_win.exe. It downloads the latest version correctly and also then installs Seed7 properly.

I can see the distinction that you make between installing as a normal user and as an Admin user. On an almost daily I use the PowerShell Chocolatey utility to install and update applications on my PC, and since it requires to be run as Admin, this is something that I have gotten used to. As suggested, I have installed Seed7 as a normal user.

By the way, I am curious about why the following files were newly compiled in this install versus the one from yesterday?

    /prg/bigfiles.sd7
    /prg/db7.sd7
    /prg/findchar.sd7
    /prg/ide7.sd7
    /prg/portfwd7.sd7

Is it because they were not used in the older seed7_05_20191117_win.exe install file?

Also, on a separate point entirely, do you take contributions for the "Seed7Home" Homepage repo? Since the HTML is generated from another source, how might one suggest possible changes in wording or other minor changes since the source is not available? There is some wording in the FAQ, for example, that I think could be updated slightly. Do you have a process in place for such suggested changes?

Kind Regards,
Liam

Hi Liam,

Great to hear that seed7_05_20230709_win.exe works properly.

Regarding your finding that files were newly compiled in this install: Do you mean these files are compiled now and the executables are copied to seed7/bin?

This might be related to a change in the installer. With the new installer the makefile (mk_mingc.mak in this case) decides which tools should be compiled.
You now have 5 additional tools:

bigfiles (searches for the bigest files)
db7 (a database inspector)
findchar (search for /t /r /n etc. in files)
ide7 (a simple editor, which uses a browser as user interface)
portfwd7 (a port forwarder)

If you mean that these files have been missing from the previous install:

I have no idea how there would be a difference. The Seed7 installer always installs the files from a Seed7 release from scratch. So in theory the installer should not make a difference (as long as you install a version from the internet). If your previous installation with seed7_05_20191117_win.exe really installed version 2023-07-09 the results should be identical.
The program prg/db7.sd7 has been added in version 2017-05-30 and prg/ide7.sd7 has been added in version 2015-09-27. This would suggest that your previous attempt installed a much older version. But this would have an effect on many other files as well.
When the Seed7 installer searches for a manually downloaded release it searches in the users home directory (and sub directories). I can only speculate: Maybe your manually downloaded release was not situated there and some other download was found.

Regarding the most important point: Gladly I take contributions for the "Seed7Home" Homepage. Yes, the HTML is generated from another source. I am not a native English speaker and I try to explain things that are obvious to me. So there are plenty reasons that I did something wrong.

Currently there is no process for suggested "Seed7Home" changes. You could send the suggested changes to my private email, which is mentioned at the bottom of the Links section. Alternatively you could also create a pull request for Seed7Home.

Hi Thomas (@ThomasMertes),

I am following up on the question that I posed on the 29th of July:

By the way, I am curious about why the following files were newly compiled in this install versus the one from yesterday?
    /prg/bigfiles.sd7
    /prg/db7.sd7
    /prg/findchar.sd7
    /prg/ide7.sd7
    /prg/portfwd7.sd7
Is it because they were not used in the older seed7_05_20191117_win.exe install file?

If you want to investigate further, here are the two logs. I ran the first on 2023-07-28 and the second on the following day, 2023-07-29. Before running the second, I first deleted the "C:\seed7" folder created on the previous day. In both cases, the "exe" files were run in a normal CMD window and this is the output that was created in that window as part of the installation.

Again, as noted, there were five extra compiles (bigfiles, db7, findchar, ide7, and portfwd7) done as part of the second installation. Perhaps looking at the log might explain the situation better than I outlined it on Tuesday! :)

If you have any further questions about this, then I will indeed try to help, but this is the main information that I have available.

Kind Regards,
Liam
