New self install package

[tdcarter]

Okay guys, like the new self install package.

But... there is always the but, is it also beta?

If so.. or if not so, in the next version...

Options to:

1) Not create new start menu group. You know us old dos-babies. Once the start menu is re-organized, I don;t want program upodates moving or creating new things. If a TF shortcut already exists, don;t create a new group. Or.... just make it a check box option, or since most folks won;t notice, make the checkbox a negative value option.

2) Allow options to place map data/dem/gis stuff in other directories besides the standard default layout. I do see that it did ot mess with my previous directory layout, but I can't move the GIS directory.

All in all I like it. Just a few suggs for ya....

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

#1 - I'll see what I can do about a checkbox for creating a start menu group.

#2 - Hmm, yeah, it should be possible to change the GIS directory.  Perhaps it should go in the "Default Tracks Dir"\GIS, rather than the application program directory.

Unfortunately the installer is still only going to know about the app path, and not any different default tracks directory.  I guess it's possible to find the default tracks dir in any existing .INI file.

I'll think about it some more.  Thanks for the feedback, as always.

Try out 2.965 --

It will not create new start menu items if TopoFusion.exe and TopoFusion.ini are found.

If said files are found, it will read the default tracks dir and install the GIS files into "GIS" directory under default tracks.  The auto-downloader will now also default to this directory instead of the app.path.

Thanks for the ideas.  I like the way it works now.
