An MSI ("Windows Installer", previously "Microsoft Installer") installer package for Tux Paint, for deploying Tux Paint, e.g. via "Intune".

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer -- "Windows Installer (msiexec.exe, previously known as Microsoft Installer,[3] codename Darwin)[4][5] is a software component and application programming interface (API) of Microsoft Windows used for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software. The installation information, and optionally the files themselves, are packaged in installation packages, loosely relational databases structured as COM Structured Storages and commonly known as "MSI files", from their default filename extensions. ..."

    @dolphin6k - A note from one Bob Apthorpe about CMake/CPack (in response to my asking for for help on Mastodon): https://oldbytes.space/@arclight/113827840966717345

    In the meantime, in a private email thread with another user, @dolphin6k noted that

    [the] current installer accepts '/SILENT' and '/VERYSILENT' switch?
    These options enable you to install TuxPaint with no interactive action.

    That user said:

    Thanks, we used the /S, will update and let you know if this helps.

    I've used the "Microsoft Intune Win32 App Packaging Tool" to package this as a .intunewin file. From that within Intune the Install command I executes the .exe file.

    WIll advise if the /SILENT worked, as the /S failed

    Waiting to hear back on the results. If there's success, I can at least add something to the INSTALL and FAQ documentation.

      Confirmed that /SILENT helped them, so added to INSTALL and FAQ docs for the next version!
