Maintenance of the End-user Windows Installer

End-user Instructions: InstallationGuidelines/Windows/User

• Install ​py2exe
• Move all applications, other than admin & eden, out of the applications/ folder
• Clean the Eden folder (models/000_config.py, cache, databases, errors, sessions, static/cache, uploads)
• Clean the admin folder (cache, errors & sessions)

  c:
  cd \web2py
  copy applications\eden\static\scripts\tools\standalone_exe.py .
  c:\bin\python27\python standalone_exe.py py2exe
  

• Remove unwanted files/folders from dist/applications/eden
  • .git
  • compiled
  • docs
  • models/000_config.py should be copied fresh from templates/ and have the FINISHED_EDITING_CONFIG_FILE line commented and any other settings set (like template)
  • modules/test_utils
  • modules/tests
  • modules/unit_tests
  • modules/wurfl.py
  • private/templates/* (All unused templates)
  • static/scripts/ext/ext-all-debug.js
  • static/scripts/ext/ext-all-debug-w-comments.js
  • static/scripts/gis/GeoExt/.*
  • static/scripts/gis/openlayers/.*
  • static/scripts/tools/compiler.jar
  • static/themes/* (All unused templates, although keep default & bootstrap if using a theme based on that)
  • tests
• Add missing file & then run the program once

  c:
  cd \web2py
  copy splashlogo.gif dist
  cd dist
  web2py.exe
  # Ignore any NEWINSTALL error, if seen
  

• Create routes.py as follows:

  default_application = 'eden'
  default_controller = 'default'
  default_function = 'index'
  

• Delete sahana-eden-setup.exe in the Web2Py Directory if it exists
• Download: http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/attachment/wiki/InstallationGuidelines/Windows/Maintenance/end-user-setup-maintenance.zip and copy the unpacked files to your dist dir
• Download & install: ​http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nsis/nsis-2.46-setup.exe?download
• Open NSIS -> Compile NSI scripts -> File -> Load Script -> Select end-user-install.nsi in your dist dir -> OK
• After a few seconds: The new sahana-eden-setup.exe should be in your dist directory
• Test it!

ToDo

• Get ReportLab working: ​http://pastebin.com/CfzRE7Dg
• Is it better to set migrate=False? (Less easy to add new modules)
• Is it better to have a larger download & include the compiled app?
• Remove all the Debug mode files? (Ext/GeoExt/OpenLayers/jQuery/UI/etc)
