Executable Setup for Windows
Download
Overview
The installation procedure depends on the installer type of the executable setup, available types are:
- MingW64+NSIS installer
File names follow the dktools-x.y.z-WINDOWS-VERSION-mingw64-nsis.exe schema. - VStudio+InnoSetup installer
File names follow the dktools-win64-x.y.z.exe schema.
Releases before 4.35.0 used VStudio+InnoSetup installers, 4.35.0 and above use MingW64+NSIS installers.
I upload the original executable setup to SourceForge only.
Warning: Do not use installers distributed by other download sources, i.e. download portals, computer magazines…
Some nasty download portals/websites bundle OpenSource software with malware installers.
No matter where you downloaded an executable installer I recommend to run a virus/malware scan on the download.
Upgrading from versions before 4.35.0 to 4.35.0 or above
As recent installers are NSIS based unlike previous installers which were InnoSetup based, you should uninstall the old DK tools version completely using the system control before installing a recent version.
Installation using a MingW64+NSIS installer
In Windows Explorer (File manager) double-click the executable.
On recent (June 2018) Windows systems you are asked for administrator permissions. On legacy systems you must be logged in with administrative privileges.
To perform an installation with minimum interaction, run:
dktools-4.38.0-WINDOWS-10-mingw64-nsis.exe /S /D=C:\P\Kr
The /D=C:\P\Kr parameter is optional, it selects a non-standard installation directory.
When used, this must be the final parameter. Write the directory without any quotes. Anything from /D= until command line end is treated as directory name. There is no requirement to escape spaces.
I recommend to use an installation directory without spaces in the name.
Installation using a VStudio+InnoSetup installer
In Windows Explorer (File manager) double-click the executable.
On recent (June 2018) Windows systems you are asked for administrator permissions. On legacy systems you must be logged in with administrative privileges.
To perform an installation with minimum interaction, run:
dktools-win64-4.33.0.exe /SP- /SILENT /dir=C:\P\Kr
The /dir=C:\P\Kr parameter is optional, it selects a non-standard installation directory.
I recommend to use an installation directory without spaces in the name.
Uninstallation
Use the system control to uninstall the software.
