Speller meeting

What is needed for a new release:

• a working installer
• working plx conversion

Installer

Variablar for installeraren:

• Variablar relevante for om ting funkar i det heile:
  • Office-versjon: 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013
  • Windows-versjon: XP, Vista, W7, W8
  • språkkode: ISO (se-NO) vs LCID (1083)
  • bit-versjon for Windows: 32b vs 64b
• variablar uavhengig av grunnleggjande funksjonalitet:
  • Office-utgåve: home/student vs pro/full
  • installeringsmodus: admin/rot/nett vs lokal brukar vs terminalserver

Verkty for debugging:

• dependencywalker

DONE:

• run dependencywalker on our dll’s to check what the dependencies are, and possibly add dependency reqiurements to the MSI package (Børre) - nothing found
• check with Geir Tore whether we can get a couple of Windows and Office versions for testing (Børre) - waiting for mail about access to those versions from Anders Ryssdal

TODO:

• test MSI package, esp. with admin install and different Win/Office combos (UiT/IT, Sjur)
• compare different sets of registry entries, to try to find differences tbat can explain the terminal server bug (Børre)
• we need to get feedback on how the new installer works when installed as admin
  • does it work for all users without further actions? (Børre)

POSTPONED:

• find an outsourcing option (Børre, Sjur)
• next week: try updating NSIS ourselves (Børre, Sjur)
  • using Tino’s documentation & old docu’s from PLX
• send a request to an NSIS developer e-mail list (Sjur)
• try to find an NSIS script for building MSI packages (Børre)
• add Windows 8 support to our installer (if possible)

PLX conversion

One ommission - that can’t explain the reduced size - is that particles like almma, bat, ges, han have been lost in the latest spellers. — FIXED in the latest svn, but no speller yet, and thus no speller test results.

Remaining PLX bugs:
