Hello,
Due to popular demand, I have created an installer program to
assist in setting up Xconq on Windows. This can be gotten at:
http://eric_mcdonald.home.comcast.net/xconq
It should be entirely self-contained, meaning that you should
not need to go out and install any supporting things first. I will
improve it further in the times ahead. Some of the features:
(1) Can choose install path.
(2) Creates a menu in the Programs menu group in the Start Menu.
(3) Creates a Desktop icon for xconq.exe.
(4) Has an uninstaller.
(5) Can be uninstalled from Add/Remove Programs control panel.
(6) Has shortcuts (in Start|Programs|Xconq) for HTML
documentation.
(7) xconq.exe is associated with .xcq files.
Things that still need to be done:
(1) Bind icons to the xconq and imfapp executables (which will
also be reflected in the shortcuts).
(2) Make xconq.exe run from any working directory. This will
make feature #7 actually be useful. Once this is taken care of,
you will be able to double-click on saved xconq games (.xcq files)
and have them launch Xconq.
TODO #1 should be quite easy. I will take care of it soon. TODO
#2 might be easy, but I need to research it more.
As always, feedback is welcome.
Enjoy,
Eric
