New versions know where to put themselves

(1/2) > >>

Numsgil:
It would be nice if when I run Darwinbots version 2.43QuadrupleZ, it could scan the registry, know where Darwinbots is installed, and copy itself there.  I'm pretty sure that the 2.1 installation makes a registry key, so it shouldn't be too hard to tap in to that, right?

I just get tired of saving new versions to disk, finding where on the disk they are, copying them, finding the Darwinbots installation folder, and pasting in to it.  Especially when I potentially have 3 or 4 computers running sims (I don't right now, but I do have 3 extra computers, so the time will come when I'll have time to set them all up with Darwinbots).

Peter:
You mean something like this.

It is an installer for DB2.43t

edit: I learned you first need to run something yourself, now has a shortcut.

Numsgil:
Not even that advanced.  It could just be the naked EXE, and it just copies itself to the Darwinbots directory.

Well, and your installer prompted me to install to the wrong directory.

Okay, it was too advanced already.  

But further.
  eh, it promted to the wrong directory .I didn't make the directory up or anything, it is looking in the registry for it. It worked  with my computer atleast  .
But it is promting to the wrong drectory, I thought it is eather perfectly good, or it didn't even give one. Where did he get the other directory from.

Numsgil:
Tried it again and it got the directory right, so I dunno, I must've used another computer instead of my laptop without realizing it .  What registry key(s) does Darwinbots make, btw?
