Hi all,

I see quite some people having some troubles with the installation of the wallet.
I myself also had some issues with the new version after the last fork.

So I'm planning of making an installer for windows (.MSI) that will do:
1. Check if a previous version of this installer is installed, if so, uninstall the old one first / upgrade the old one.
2. If not (otherwise, in the future, this will be done by the uninstall of the old msipackage), check if wallet is running, if so kill process. Is there a way built into the wallet to close the wallet nicely from a commandline?
3. Place the .exe in a folder on C:\Program Files\BitcoinDark (location customizable in install wizard)
4. Place shortcut in startmenu (by default)
5. Place shortcut on desktop (Optional, not default, will be a checkbox on install)
6. Start .exe on windows startup (not the default option, will be a checkbox on install, will probably write a key in run under HKLM)
7. If exist, backup %appdata%\BitcoinDark to %appdata%\BitCoinDark_PrevVersion (if this already exsists, remove the old, create the new backup) and remove all in %appdata%\BitcoinDark, except wallet and .conf (Also optional, but default)
8. If not present create .conf in %appdata%\BitcoinDark
9. Start .exe when installation is finished (Optional, but default)

To make this there's a few more things I need to know:
If I include this .conf file as default, will that do for the general end-user (it is the one you can downloaded from OP)?

Code:

addnode=107.170.59.196
addnode=146.185.188.6
addnode=74.91.20.250:39997
addnode=54.85.50.15:50288
addnode=186.94.211.104:49543
addnode=107.170.148.50:14631
addnode=65.129.66.246:57762
addnode=31.220.4.41
addnode=98.226.66.65
addnode=193.219.117.63
addnode=62.210.141.204
addnode=128.199.172.165
addnode=192.99.143.114
addnode=178.20.169.208
addnode=195.34.100.2:42038
addnode=5.101.107.239:60056

Or would it need the version that's written in text on the OP?

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=14632
port=14631
daemon=1
gen=1
server=1
addnode=107.170.59.196
addnode=146.185.188.6
addnode=74.91.20.250:39997
addnode=54.85.50.15:50288
addnode=107.170.148.50:14631
addnode=65.129.66.246:57762
addnode=31.220.4.41
addnode=98.226.66.65
addnode=193.219.117.63
addnode=62.210.141.204
addnode=128.199.172.165
addnode=192.99.143.114

Or maybe even a completely different one?
How do I make sure that the file I upload is 100% virus, malware, etc free? Is there a trusted site or something?
Is there a guide that I can follow to make a checksum thingy, so people can checkt it's the exact same thing I uploaded?
Anything else needed?

Grtz,

tl;dr: Incoming windows installer, but need some input to make it work.

ths would be great!
you should build the binary to make sure it is not infected, assuming your computer isnt infected
i remember seeing checksum generating methods, but dont have the link

the .conf file details will be changing with the new release, so for now, just use the second one here, with changes to the rpcuser and rpcpassword. i am assuming it wont be hard to update the .conf template
