Hello, I was wondering if I could get a little help to build my own installer for Windows. I want to include extra instructions for a school (multiple install) in the installer, though i’ll figure that bit out later.
I’ve downloaded the master and gone to /installer/Windows and run build-msi.bat (run as admin), but I’m not sure it does anything as it runs and quits within a couple of seconds, so at the moment i’m unable to build.
Alternatively, is there a way of installing it (with settings for a backup of C:\Users) across a (windows) network (or even individually)? I would assume this would mean changes in the code for a pre-set schedule before compiling for MSI?
Due to the way Duplicati is packaged for multiple operating system, it starts by building a duplicati.zip file. This zip file is then used to build each of the different installers.
Depending on how many features you want (signing, auto-updates, etc), you need to do various things to build the duplicati.zip. The basic version is just building a release version and then copy the folder Duplicati/Server/webroot to Duplicati/GUI/Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon/bin/Release/webroot, and making a zip of Duplicati/GUI/Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon/bin/Release.
If you want to use the official version of Duplicati (i.e. my version) and only do things during the installation, the easiest way is to grab the recent zip from here: Duplicati
Once you have the zip, you can run something like this to get installers:
