Suggestion: reg key change for side-by-side usage on Windows platforms
Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2023 8:16 pm
Currently, if someone installs QLC+ v4 on their machine and also wants to install QLC+ v5, the windows builds are attempting to share the same registry key used to track the last custom directory it installed to. Even though they have different default install paths (C:\QLC+, vs. C:\QLC+5). So if the user customized the install path for v4, then the v5 installer will default to the same customized install path that v4 was installed to. And vice versa.
Consider editing platform/windows/qlcplus5Qt5.nsi, line 20, as follows:
That would allow v4 and v5 to have their own unique custom install paths.
Consider editing platform/windows/qlcplus5Qt5.nsi, line 20, as follows:
Code: Select all
InstallDirRegKey HKCU "Software\qlcplus" "Install_Dir5"
