I’ve been wanting to ask for a while now: how can I get an offline installer for preview versions? Is this even possible, for example with TeamCity?
Let me explain the issue: to install the latest version (for example, one with a bug fix) on the target computer, you need to download the offline installer in case there is no internet connection or there are network issues. I think it was possible to do this somehow, but I can’t find anything on the forum and wanted to clarify this.
Am I correct in understanding that the procedure is as follows:
Right?
i’m afraid we offer offline installers only for stable releases.
But does what I’ve described actually work? Is this a way to ‘install offline’ a preview version?
I suppose I didn’t express myself clearly. I’d like to understand how to install a preview version offline, without using installers.
If I understand you correctly you could do what we do, which is to have the vvvv binaries as a submodule in Git and use it that way. Then you are effectively installing it locally without the need for the installer. I think @tonfilm can probably explain much better how that works, since he set it up for our project.
@seltzdesign That would be really interesting!
But I should point out that I’m interested in an offline installation. In other words, basically, copying it onto a USB stick and installing it on another computer that isn’t connected to the internet or has internet connection issues.
I followed the steps described above and installed VVVV Gamma by extracting the files. I just want to confirm that this is the correct way to install it.
Ah, I see. I think there is actually very little that needs to be installed. Basically just .NET Runtime as far as I know, which you can already get as offline installers. Everything else can just be in a folder like from a USB Stick. You can run vvvv from anywhere really.
It’s not runtime, it’s dotnet sdk actually as for 7.1 had issue…
