Unofficial Code::Blocks installer for Windows (svn 10408)
ollydbg:
a feature request:
Is it possible to run the installer several times, each time, I can manually select/deselect some plugins to maintain the installed c::b??
this is because I may forget to install a plugin in the first time I run the installer.
thanks.

You can add some statements that this package also contains two CHMs, (c++ and codeblocks manual). very nice

You already can safely re-run the installer to install additional plugins. Uninstalling just some components through the installer is not supported. For this purpose you either simply disable/uninstall/delete the plugins you don't like from within C::B or uninstall C:B completely (the config will be kept, if not portable) and the re-install.

thanks for the reply.
That's the way I currently use, but if the installer program can add/delete plugins, it will be more satisfied. :D

Again: Adding plugins is already possible. The ability to remove plugins through the installer sounds a bit weird to me. In the end it's an installer and not an un-installer and you have the ability through C::B itself. So why would you need another tool for that purpose? I mean, even if we do this, how many user would actually make use of such function?
ptDev:
I think ollydbg is referring to having "Modify" or "Repair" functionality in the installer. NSIS does not provide this by default, though. I read in a few wikis/forums that this is not evident to implement and requires some advanced script trickery (for example, you need to allow deletion of files in the background, etc.).
Having said that, it is indeed sufficient either to uninstall certain plugins from within Code::Blocks, or install while overwriting an existing installation (existing files, as well as registry keys, are overwritten).
