What is needed for a new release:

Installer

Variablar for installeraren:

Verkty for debugging:

Børre has installed different proofing tools recording registry settings before and after. Has installed:

All working installer (all except KAL 3) contained the same type of registry entries.

For Office 2007, on 32-bit Windows 7. All tools except Greenlandic 3 worked for all users, not only the installing user.

On Office 2010, same Windows 7, the bokmål installer used the same registry entries as Divvun 2.2.

Bokmål registry entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\F612C02F7F111D94CA585B60E5FDBD13]
"00004109F10041400000000000F01FEC"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE14\\PROOF\\MSSP7NB.DLL
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\130DBDD4A0A1AB542B8DD901C7E78177]
"00004109F10041400000000000F01FEC"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE14\\PROOF\\MSSP7NB.LEX"

Divvun 2.2 registry entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\55EF2BF3CD33B874CBC22EAD2AA7CC00]
"57CB6F3B98FBBB64A855473F371F97EB"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\\\Proof\\mssp3samiNorthern-NO.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\5CF385611BB33A64DB4A6A6517AF63C2]
"57CB6F3B98FBBB64A855473F371F97EB"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\\\Proof\\mssp3samiNorthern.lex"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\2DF27058FFEB22F48BA0D98DA860714D]
"57CB6F3B98FBBB64A855473F371F97EB"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\\\Proof\\mssp3samiLule.lex"

The Greenlandic 3 xml installer script, on the other hand, follows a different pattern:

<RegistryKey Id='KalSpellRegGlobal10' Root='HKLM'
Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\User Settings\Mso_CoreReg\Create\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override\kl-GL' Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall'>
<RegistryValue Type='string' Name='DLL' Value='[INSTALLDIR]kalspell.dll' />

The bokmål installer registry diff contains also diffs like the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Components\1CF85317B34E1D111AF7000A9CA05BF0]
+"1044.x86"=hex(7):78,00,62,00,27,00,42,00,56,00,5a,00,70,00,4a,00,42,00,24,00,\
+  21,00,21,00,21,00,21,00,21,00,4d,00,4b,00,4b,00,53,00,6b,00,4f,00,75,00,74,\
+  00,6c,00,6f,00,6f,00,6b,00,53,00,65,00,61,00,72,00,63,00,68,00,53,00,68,00,\
+  65,00,6c,00,6c,00,52,00,65,00,67,00,49,00,6e,00,74,00,6c,00,5f,00,31,00,30,\
+  00,34,00,34,00,3c,00,00,00,00,00

The hex-encoded character list (of big-endian UTF-16 characters) is actually the string:

xb'BVZpJB$!!!!!MKKSkOutlookSearchShellRegIntl_1044<

But similar entries are created by our NSIS installer.

Working scenarios for Divvun 2.2:

Next scenarios to test with all installers:

  1. Office 2007, 64 bit Windows 7
  2. Office 2010, 32 bit Windows 7
  3. Office 2010, 64 bit Windows 7

Get registry entry diffs, check whether the installed tools work for all users, not only the installing user.
