mritter Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 For users who play audio while installing their programs, how long does the entire install process take (minutes), and how many songs do you play (before install process is done)?I am contemplating writing my own audio player code both for the main WPI window and the Installer window, but may just be a waste of time. Or it might prove to be very beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almulder Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 New audio player sounds great. The one I original made in one of the old versions seen to give many people problems, but if you could make a new one that would be cool. I have seen my installs take anywere from 10 min to 60 min depending on the items I install. (That is on a AMD 64) Programs install fast, but I some times install all of them. If you figure average songs (Music CD's) are about 3-4 min long that should help you determin you number. I would say min 1-3 songs, max 20 songs.

mritter Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 @onelessExecute Before and Execute After install process is built-in. Way ahead of you. ;-)I made one version of a media player, but then realized it wouldn't automatically go to the next song, so.......will be dropping that for now.Thanks, guys.

mritter Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 I figured out the path problem I was having so my audio player is history, going back to the built-in one (same as the main WPI window). Just needed a little JavaScript trickery.It is built-in to the installer, not a seperate window as in previous versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
