Windows .exe file that can act as a standalone installer for the
|
||||
Helium Hydra GUI wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
The build steps in detail:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install *Inno Setup*. You can get it from [here](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php)
|
||||
2. Get the Inno Setup script plus related files by cloning the whole [monero-core](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core) repository; you will only need the files in the installer directory `installers\windows` however
|
||||
3. The setup script is written to take the GUI Wallet files from a subdirectory named `bin`; so create `installers\windows\bin`, get the zip file of the GUI Wallet Beta 2 from [here](https://getmonero.org/downloads/), unpack it somewhere, and copy all the files and subdirectories in the `monero-gui-0.10.3.1-beta2` directory to this `bin` subdirectory
|
||||
4. Start Inno Setup, load `Monero.iss` and compile it.

<h2>Upgrading</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have already a release of the GUI wallet software on your computer that was installed with the help
|
||||
of this installer (in an earlier version), upgrading is easy: Just run the new installer; there is no need to
|
||||
uninstall the old Monero release first.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But if you run a release of the GUI wallet software that you downloaded as a .zip file and unzipped into a
|
||||
folder, if you "installed it manually" so to say, don't try to upgrade by pointing the installer to that folder,
|
||||
because this might lead to problems e.g. if you try to uninstall everything later.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's better to let the installer put the software into another folder and then delete the old folder, either
|
||||
outright or after moving away any additional files that you may have stored there. (If you did not change
|
||||
default locations for wallets and the blockchain, you don't have to worry about them, they won't be in that
|
||||
particular folder, but elsewhere "in safety".)</p>

<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>

<i>Beta</i> in the name of the package, and sometimes things go wrong.</p>

<p>The Monero software and especially the GUI wallet are "work in progress", and sometimes things go wrong.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Please note that despite any technical problems that you may encounter your moneroj are almost always safe: You may
|
||||
not be able to move them or you even may not see how many you currently have, but you most probably won't loose any.
|
||||
But do remember that the seed needed to re-create the wallet <b>is</b> critical, however: <b>Never loose your
|
||||
seed!</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is a <b>bug</b> in this beta of the GUI wallet that triggers if it is installed in a path that contains spaces /
|
||||
blank characters, like the default location for Windows programs <i>C:\Program Files</i> unfortunately does.
|
||||
Symptoms are problems in the communication between the wallet and the daemon, e.g. the wallet not "seeing" the
|
||||
daemon and then not knowing whether it is "synchronized" with the network and thus ready to work or not. You can
|
||||
avoid these problems by starting the daemon yourself, with the help of the <i>Monero Daemon</i> icon in the
|
||||
<i>Utilities</i> sub-folder of the Monero program group.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the <i>Utilities</i> sub-folder there are several more icons that may help you to solve problems.
|
||||
These are the icons with a <i>x</i> in front and the name <i>(in parenthesis)</i> to make them visually stand
|
||||
apart from the "normal" ones because you will probably only need them in case of trouble, but not during normal
