| 2 | |
| 3 | We want to make the Windows installation simpler than the [InstallationGuidelinesWindows current one]. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | We want to allow an NGO field worker to download a single executable which installs everything necessary even without Admin rights.[[BR]] |
| 6 | This means providing an option for which folder to install in (default to {{{c:\program files\sahana}}}).[[BR]] |
| 7 | Inside this folder have: |
| 8 | * Web2Py |
| 9 | * [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable FirefoxPortable] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Shortcut should be created on Desktop & Start Menu (cutomisable to turn off) which runs app: |
| 12 | * start service, if installed but not started |
| 13 | * start app if no service installed |
| 14 | * load Portable Firefox onto start page: http://localhost:8000/sahana |
| 15 | |
| 16 | If Admin rights are available, then provide the option (default) to install Service & start Service at boot. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Possible solutions: |
| 19 | * [http://nsis.sourceforge.net Nullsoft Installer] |
