One of the essential steps to preparing LIDA for Beta Testing is to package everything needed into an installer file, usually called a Setup.exe file.
In researching which installer builder software was available, I was beginning to get depressed, because in the first four packages I checked out, three of them were impossibly complex, with obscure and confusing documentation and less than helpful tutorials, and the fourth was I package I had used many years ago and liked a lot – but it now cost nearly $1,000. Yipes.
So a couple days ago, I took a deep breath and began checking out yet another installer builder software package.
I wouldn’t be surprised if wherever you are, you heard me cheer here in Mississippi.
This new installer builder worked like a charm. I created and tested several builds of the installer package, and they all worked exactly as expected.
Whew.
So now that rather large stumbling block that might have delayed the beta release of LIDA is now conquered.
All that’s left now are the final few upgrades to LIDA, to enable a few of the functionalities that are not yet operational, and we’ll be ready for beta launch.
As I write this, we are still in need of several beta testers. So if you’d like to help us craft LIDA into the absolute best Music Library Data management system in the universe, head on over to Be A Tester and let us know.
