Hi! I am currently reviewing different ways of creating cross plattform installers for Qt applications (Windows and Linux mainly).
The installers shall work in a classical way, i.e. they shall: 1. work completely offline 2. install no maintenance tool 3. support installing and removing the application 4. be able to do an offline update by running a newer installer 5. work without additional RTEs (like Java) I consider this a very basic configuration. Still it seems that the Qt Installer Framework is unable to provide 2. and 4. At least from what I read in the documentation, in the Qt bug tracker and in the web, such configuration isn't supported. Maybe that information is not up-to-date. It seems hard to believe that such a basic configuration should be a problem. Regarding the maintenance tool, there seems to be no opt-out config switch. Regarding offline-upgrade, the installers seem to refuse installing into existing application folders. Is it correct that the above isn't officially supported by the Qt IF? -- Regards, Bernhard
