• Installer Version: 1.85-1.86
• Operating system: Windows 7 - 10

Description of issue:

When installer updater kicks in it fails to properly update by not extracting Furl.ddl.

• A old support service in the installer caused issues with permissions leading towards not properly extracting file.
• Log.txt file check deletion had also triggered the bug and is permanent in the project save

WUGG had made an announcement, now recommending new users and current user to reinstall the game launcher and game to program files directory.

• Current installer does allow user to install in this directory, but is not the default choice
• Is there a standard to directory yet? (I guess there is now

Solution

• Two different builds for the game launcher installer
  • One for SBRW compliant install directory standard
  • Second to continue support for current installation

OR
I just continue doing my thing leaving users have the option to manually change the directory.

Description of issue:
Game Launcher Fails to launch due to log.txt file

Description goes here
Rare change that windows will break game launcher and will not launch. Deleting the log file would help solve this issue

For a while I been using the Game_Launcher Version tags to best represent the version. However, this does not reflect the installer build.

Currently I will begin to experiment on using the GitHub Release API to push installer updates, but for now I will not be doing this change until I can confirm if its a method worth exploring.

Since #18 had an issue of including the game files which lead towards the Windows installer to hang since it had to decompress the entire .cab file, but can be tested now with the latest release

• Launcher Version: 1.9.1.41
• Operating system: ALL
• Antivirus/Firewall (if any): ?
• Wine/Mono Version (if any): ?

Description of issue:

This version is the most stable version from all releases. It does not prompt any issues 
that might arise.
I suggest to not update to the new 1.9.2.2 version yet until the 
common bugs have been documented.

JIT Error (if any)

Still being Documented

So with the web based installer disabling the browse button for folders, it leaves the new text for the user to not install in certain directories.

There is 19 Languages to translate O_O

Creating the New Web Based Installer is no longer quick to build since it has to keep track of all of its files in its local database. This leads towards a longer Build time for creating a Installer Build. This effectively means no Day 1 or Week 1 Releases.

New Release Policies: For the Soapbox Race World Team there is a cool down when a new GameLauncher_NFSW version is out since there is always a chance for bugs.

When choosing to folder the installer hangs up, up to 3 mins. Will enable logs to see the issue.

• Launcher Version: ALL
• Operating system: Windows
• Antivirus/Firewall (if any): Both

Description of issue:
Installer changes permissions causing game launcher updater to fail.

I hate to say this, but cloudflare will not allow me to host the new installer if I will be including the Game Files.

Solution: Setting up a Redirect to download Game Files from GitHub to bypass CloudFlares bandwidth limit (10TB) [Also they don't allow ZIP style formats to be used on Free plans]

Since I don't have the latest Windows Build I will have to setup a VM for this issue

Description of issue:

Seems like it correctly installs all the files but doesn't setup the shortcut for the Vinyl Manager.

Issue: Windows 10 Doesn't support sub-folders of a parent folder so the shortcuts need to created in the parent folder for this to work

New Features

• Just like Electron Launcher it updates Settings.ini to automatically create the folders directory
  • This skips the Welcome Prompt for a quicker setup

Bugs

• Settings.ini gets removed when updating the installer build manually
• Has issues when setting up to ignore this file when uninstalling or updating it
• Account settings for example gets nuked when updated manually with installer versions or uninstalling it

Build Status:
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

• Launcher Version: Any really
• Operating system: Windows Vista & Newer
• Antivirus/Firewall (if any): Both

Description of issue:

Alright Welcome. I'm currently fixing and organizing the installer to look professional. 
That's all, LoL. 
Also forgot to mention I don't know how to contact devs right now 
since their DMs are disabled and if you ping them you get in trouble. 
Do you have a solution :thinking:
