Installer bug

Submitted by digitalparanoid on

Hi,

here's the scenario I'm willing to do: install in a temporary folder so that I can update my real data folder with wrye smash. (I want to unzip the resources files manually)

I have Morrowind retail and Skyrim (steam). Windows 7 (64 - french)

Steps:

1/ download v0.6

2/ unrar said installer in temporary location

3/ execute Skywind.exe (in admin mode) see attached picture

4/ click "install"

5/ in Options, update the installation path to c:\temp ; leave the downloaded files as it is [the full path contains spaces - if that helps] - see attached picture

6/ click "next"

7/ in Components, the three default components are found. Click next.

8/ Copy of files seem to fail - see attached picture

9/ The target folder is empty, there is just a data file created - see attached picture

If I install directly in my skyrim folder (steam), it works correctly.

PLz, try to create folder Data in temp folder.

If it helps, bug is - installer dont create Data folder if its missing. Not a bug, but good feature for add.

@Averrin ok it's working if I create a dummy temp/data folder (files get extracted inside "data").  Definitely a good feature for the future :P

Transforming this into a feature request then.

Try correct in currentVersion.yml

components:
  "Skywind - Patch.esp":
    type: file
    dest: 'Data'

to

components:
  "Skywind - Patch.esp":
    type: file
    dest: 'Data/Skywind - Patch.esp'

its a contributors mistake and, generally, my mistake - there isnt in manual
