EA Installation Inspector - what new functions would you like?

[EXploringEA]

Please forgive me if this is not considered the correct place for this post but I'm unsure how to let the AddIn developers who use my (free) EA Installation Inspector know that I'm working on a new "infrequent" release and keen to get any feature requests.

I have a page EA Inspector Development with some outline ideas and screenshots, with a link to download an evolving working development version.

So if you've found the EA Installation Inspector useful and would like some other functions do let me know.

Thanks

Hi Adrian,

EA Installation Inspector has saved me a lot of time. Thanks for the great tool!!

When I use COM/Active X for an Add-In Window, I have the same issues as with the pure Add-In without any GUI.

- Is it possible to enter a ProgID and EA Inspector checks if the COM is accessible
- A hint whether Admin rights are needed for installation/de-installation would be nice

Best regards,

Helmut

Hi Helmut

Thanks for feature requests:

Item 1:  is now available in the test release (I've put a copy of the working development version DEVc).  You can either select the progID in the registry tree window (context menu) if the progID exists or select the query tab; press the Run query button (at bottom of the form), then type whatever ProgID / classname you wish to check, then press "Run query" - and wait; the query happens in the background (a query active label appears top RH), so you can carry on doing other stuff then return to the query window when query info text box goes green.  BTW: This is not limited to EA but will execute a query for any class.  You could enter a classID but an unlikely request; can be done from context menu options in the registry tree view.

I need to refine the UI and help file but in the meantime have updated V5 concept page with some more screenshots/descriptions.

Item 2:  Seems like this is a request to inspect an installer (msi) file and determine what rights will be required - have I understood your request correctly, if not perhaps you can expand - there may be bits that can be done if not all.  I am guessing that if it is I need to do some more research:-)  It may be as quick to just try!

@all addin developers.

Any more requests? ideas that could make it more useful.
 
thanks

Adrian
