Slipstreaming to Windows SDK Beta 2

  • Artikel

I thought you might find it interesting to read where we are with Setup in our Beta 2 release of the Windows SDK.

Code complete is Wednesday, March 22nd. The Setup team met today re priorities and resources. Here is the status of setup issues as we get to code complete:

Open items completed on 3/22:

  • Bug 11288: Need to add units for the size of installed content
  • Bug 11629: SDKSetup: On the "Begin Installation" screen, "Cancel" is the default focus rather than "Next"
  • Setup hardening work:
    • Out of disk space error
    • Minimum version of msi.dll and msiexec.exe on the user's machine
    • If a CAB is not downloaded due to network problems, user gets the standard OK | Cancel | Retry choices
    • Default logging is more verbose
    • Better MSI callback
    • Setup runs faster - the controls move quicker
    • Small UI changes to progress bars and the content install window.
  • OS headers and libs to the Install Options screen and BTLFs
    • Still some back-end work to do on this, so there may be some iterations for daily builds for a few days
  • Improvements to the behavior of the setup when the user clicks 'cancel'
  • Build.resx during build
