Nightly Build installation under Windows

(1/1)

candide:
Hi, If I understand well what the Howto use  explains (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=3232.0), a nightly build version of C::B doesn't need any installer programm, I mean a setup.exe file. True ?

Ceniza:
The nightly builds are provided just as a bunch of files compressed in 7-zip. You decompress them wherever you want and it (Code::Blocks) will work from there (of course, you need the wxWidgets' DLLs and Code::Blocks' binaries).

Now, to install a compiler you'll surely use an installer, even though MinGW can be installed in a similar way (using compressed files), but it's another story.

So... true, no setup.exe for the nightly builds... no need for one either.

Vampyre_Dark:
If you have WinRar, it will handle 7zip files.
