installer

installer is a .NET Standard Class Library for installing archive packages.

Usage

Download the repo as zip. Extract the contents into your solution directory. Add the installer project to your solution.

$ dotnet sln <SLN_FILE> add src/Installer/Installer.csproj

There are two classes in the Installer namespace. PackageInstaller and PackageUninstaller.

To begin an install to installPath

var installer = new PackageInstaller(archivePath, installPath)
installer.Extract()

Extract() accepts an optional bool keyword argument, deleteOnComplete. When set to true, the archive is deleted upon completing installation.

installer.ArchiveSize gets the size of the archive file in bytes.

installer.TotalInstalledSize gets the size of the installation at that instant in bytes. This value is updated as installation progresses.

To begin an uninstall from installPath

var uninstaller = new PackageUninstaller(installPath)
uninstaller.Uninstall()

uninstaller.DirectorySize gets the number of subdirectories at installPath.

uninstaller.TotalDeletedSize gets the number of subdirectories uninstalled at that instant. This value is updated as the uninstallation progresses.
