Installation troubleshooting
The Setup have completely changed, the package was not depend anymore of lasted Visual Studio installed on your computer. That's mean two new thing:
- Installation can be placed everywhere.
- Now, you can use on multi version of visual studio at the same time.
How Setup work
Setup was depend now to one variable : "InstallLocation". This one was placed into the registry during the installation.
On 64 bits Windows
Code: Select all
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ESP8266 Wizard_is1or on 32 bits Windows
Code: Select all
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ESP8266 Wizard_is1ESP8266Diag
For the moment any Diagnostic tools was created for this version.

Open Source
After some comment, I decide to let go ESP8266 Wizard to Open Source. Feel free to modify, but it's gonna be under some rules. Before, let's understand the esp8266 Wizard.
1. Props vs XML vs targets
- Props : This files contains the default value of your properties interface
- XML : This files was the properties interface
- Targets : Inside this files, you gonna find the command line to execute the process on your CPP and H files Actually, if you handle well the concept, XTENSA folder can be recompiled inside a DLL, to convert targets command line based to DLL function.
2.Targets was queue based
That's mean, this way was multi-project secure. You can have with another Microsoft project inside same solution. Take care to have unique name for every target, don't attempt to override "Build" target or something used by Microsoft. Also, by include FromminimalBuild.target you can create another builder like example "an Atmel compiler".
3.Windows 10 Partition and Writing Right
If you modify the package on windows 10, be sure that you don't install on same partition that Window 10. The new right of C: Partition, made in sort, that you must start your visual studio 2017 in administration mode. That's a little annoying.
4.The wizard use folder based
If you create a new SDK package. Try to keep in philosophy, that you need two sub-folder to keep compatibility with other project.
- ESPressif
- Release
- Version
5.How use REPACKAGE
- Unzip the downloaded file.
- Install a version inside Release folder. (Try to not use C: Drive)
- Modify the package (targets, XML and Props) directly inside Installation folder
- Put your paw and fill logbook... see below.
- If you modify the VSIX, don't forget to replace the .VSIX file from Release folder to Installation folder.
- When ready to repackage, start CopySources.bat script.
- Start InnoSetup (that you must find, download and install)
- Compile
6. Put your paw rules
Because XML, PROPS and Targets can't be really compatible with Git or something similar. I mean, you can't keep trace of modification or branch. I ask you to put your paw at specific place to see which package you really install. Like this, we gonna be enable to see which part used during installation and we gonna be in mesure to offer support with specific version name.
Replace OpenSource by your name and change also the version. Change one place and the rest is automatic.
Inside Inno Setup:
Inside VSIX manifest:
7. Fill the LogBook
Modify the Logbook.txt to include date, package name, coder name and description of update item.
EX:
[YYYY/MM/DD] Package Name - Coder Name
* Fix that...
* Add this...
Enjoy!
