Fixed uinstaller issues:
1. Folder "localization" is not removed even all the files are removed from
this folder.
2. Folder "pluging\APIs" is not removed even all the files are removed from
this folder.
3. Three files are not removed (contextMenu.xml, functionList.xml and
shortcuts.xml). There might be more files.
From "%appdata%\Notepad"
4. Bakcup folder (form %appdata%\Notepad++) is not removed if backup folder
is not empty.
5. Folder "themes" is not removed even all the files are removed.
6. Because of above two items, parent folder ("%appdata%\Notepad") is also
not removed.
7. Rephrase user message when user tries to install 64 bit while 32 is
already installed (vice versa).
Closes#2565
- Use DWORD instead of string for Minor and major version
- Show only "Uninstall" instead of "Uninstall/Change"
- Write installed size as well which will be shown in "Program and Features"
Closes#2580
64-bit Installer can detect the 32-bit installation (and vice versa),
and suggest users to remove the existing one before install the new one.
It works only when the existing installation is on "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Notepad++" or "C:\Program Files\Notepad++" directory
Closes#2175
As of now npp installer is not using any compression to reduce the installer size. I don't know if there is any history behind not using any compression algorithm.
But I noticed a reasonable difference after using /SOLID lzma compression technique. It reduces the installer size by 30~35%.
If we uses /FINAL lzma, it is improved by 15~18%.
1. fix the hanging problem for some rare situation (some specific
graphic cards?) by replacing otf file by ttf file.
2. make better font look by adding bold, italic and bold-italic fonts
3. load Source Code Pro privately so it won't be listed for the other
application during Notepad++ session.
Source Code Pro is included in the Notepad++ distribution for its
internal use.
If it's not the first time of Notepad++ installation (ie. updating),
users need to set Source Code Pro as default font manually via style
configurator dialog, or just delete "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml".
