Fixes the app opening on a page saying the connection was refused.

If you installed 1.0.0 and got "Hmmm... can't reach this page, 127.0.0.1 refused to connect", that was this. Nothing was wrong with your machine, your firewall or your proxy.

What was wrong

The build was leaving the entire application package out of the installer. The window opened, the part that serves the screens was not there to start, and the only thing left to report the problem was the browser, which had nothing useful to say.

It was invisible in every check the build ran, because the checks looked at whether the right files were in the folder rather than whether the thing actually runs.

What is different now

  • The build now starts the packaged application and asks it for a page before it will make an installer. That is the check that would have caught this.
  • If startup ever fails again the app says so, in a window, and writes the details to a file you can attach to an issue, instead of leaving the browser to talk about proxies and firewalls.
  • The application icon is in this build. 1.0.0 shipped without one.
