Discussion: Files to install for Apps which do not user RegisterWithThor

[Jimrnelson]

Some small number of VFPX Projects are simple enough that they do not have compiled APP files. (These include Thor Repository, PEM Editor, GoToDefinition, IntellisenseX, and now VFPX Deployment).

Instead they have Thor Tools and Procs which are installed directly into the Thor's Tools and Procs folders. These files are in fact the source code for the project.

Unlike other "Apps", you will not find a folder for them in Tools\Apps.

This is controlled by this setting in their updater

I am mentioning this because of what I am seeing for VFPX Deployment. It is my belief that the only file that should be in "Installed Files" is the Thor Tool, and nothing else.

This is closely related to my previous post, in which I indicated that those interested in the source code for Apps can get it from the VFPX site

What about the other files? The Proc files, the templates, etc.

Doug --

My bad. I have not been paying attention to all the additions to VFPXDeploy since we started it.

Yes, the "Installed Files" folder should contain all Procs and other files that are needed for it to run. (Very early on, it was self-contained).

But I don't think it's necessary to include any other files, such as those used by VFPXDeploy.

Then again, it's not a big deal one way or another.
