0install-win's Introduction

Zero Install for Windows

This is the Windows version of Zero Install. It extends the cross-platform core Zero Install .NET with a GUI and various OS-specific integrations.

Zero Install is a decentralized cross-platform software installation system. You can learn more at 0install.net.

Building

The source code is in src/ and generated artifacts are placed in artifacts/.
The source code does not contain version numbers. Instead the version is determined during CI using GitVersion.

To build install Visual Studio 2022 v17.8 or newer and run .\build.ps1.
If you wish to deploy the build after compilation as the default Zero Install instance in your user profile run .\build.ps1 -Deploy. To deploy it for all users use .\build.ps1 -Deploy -Machine.

Integration tests

The PowerShell scripts in tests/ are integration tests.

You can run them individually. They will then use the version of Zero Install found in your current PATH.

You can also run them all against:

your latest build, with .\test.ps1
a temporarily deployed copy of your latest build, with .\test.ps1 -Deploy
a temporarily deployed machine-wide copy of your latest build, with .\test.ps1 -Deploy -Machine
a temporarily deployed portable copy of your latest build, with .\test.ps1 -Deploy -Portable

Contributing

We welcome contributions to this project such as bug reports, recommendations, pull requests and translations. If you have any questions feel free to pitch in on our friendly mailing list.

This repository contains an EditorConfig file. Please make sure to use an editor that supports it to ensure consistent code style, file encoding, etc.. For full tooling support for all style and naming conventions consider using JetBrains' ReSharper or Rider products.

Privacy and code signing policy

Zero Install for Windows contacts various servers automatically during normal operation (e.g., to check for updates). No personal information is transmitted to these systems unless specifically requested by the user (e.g., to synchronize apps between computers). See the documentation for details.

This program uses free code signing provided by SignPath.io, and a certificate by the SignPath Foundation. Signed releases are published by Bastian Eicher.

0install-win's Issues

Generic Mono WinForms problems

Path.GetTempFileName() throws UnauthorizedAccessException
0store-win TreeView crash
Windows do not close on Application.Exit()

Language specification

Allow users to specify specific implementation language in Requirements

GUI support for AppEntry.Hostname

Add option for setting AppEntry.Hostname RegEx in desktop integration GUI

Publish.WinForms: Detect Java main classes in a jar file to create commands

A jar can contain multiple main classes. 0Publish should detect them and automatically create commands.

ArgumentException when URL in argument instead of file path

When URLs are passed as arguments that are expected to be file paths ArgumentExceptions may be thrown

Publish.WinForms: Prevent setting stability to "preferred"

The Feed Editor should not allow users to set stability ratings in feeds to "preferred". This is reserved for overrides in user preferences.

Icon cache expiration

Make files in the icon cache expire after a while

Automatic updates for machine-wide deployments

When Zero Install is deployed machine-wide use TaskScheduler to schedule jobs to run when idle (e.g., during Automatic Maintenance):

0install self update
0install update-all --clean --machine (only when ZeroInstallInstance.IsLibraryMode = true)

Error reporting on Linux

The error reporting feature does not seem to send anything on Mono/Linux

Categories in AppList

Filter applications by categories in AppList

AppList change missed while modal dialog visible

ZeroInstall.exe detects changes applied to the AppList by other instances by listening for a specific window message. These window messages will be missed and the list not refreshed while a modal dialog (e.g. the Options dialog) is visible.

OpenPgpSecretKey.Parse() problem

OpenPgpSecretKey.Parse() sometimes chokes on unexpected formatting in 'sec' lines

Global mutexes on Windows XP

Global mutexes may not be created correctly on Windows XP

0capture file extension capturing

0capture seems to have some problems when capturing a LibreOffice installs:

Some <extension>s are duplicated.
Some MS Office related <extension>s are not captured at all.

Support for native package managers

Mirror the DistributionImplementation and DistributionSource types from the Python code

Platform detection

Improve platform detection in Architecture.CurrentSystem

Detect external integration changes

Detect access points that where removed or replaced outside of Zero Install and offer the user to either accept these changes into the AppList or to undo them.

Implement "0install search"

Implement the 0install search command found in the Python/OCaml version of Zero Install

See https://github.com/0install/0install/blob/b2.4/zeroinstall/cmd/search.py

Auto-suggest service install

Automatically suggest installing the Store Service if more than one user account exists

0store-service IPC timeout

Long running operations (e.g. extracting large archives) may cause the IPC connection between 0install and 0store-service to time out

Publish.WinForms: Lost changes when saving without focus change

If the contents of a text box in the feed editor is changed and a Save is triggered without first moving the focus away from the text box the change will not be saved.

HintTextBox on Linux

The HintText is only displayed after focus once
The ClearButton missing

Taskbar pinning

Pin 0install-win run commands instead of specific implementations to the taskbar.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378459

Implement ZeroInstall.Gtk.exe

Reimplement the WinForms version of ZeroInstall.exe using GTK#

Prevent deletion of running apps

Use Windows Restart Manager to detect in-use files.

CLR error on XP Guest account

On-the-fly code generation may fail in Guest accounts on Windows XP under certain conditions

Kiosk mode

Allow Administrators to restrict which software users can install

Add archive mirror support

Download archives from the feed mirror when the main source times out

Safe tray icon close

Allow tray icon (in batch mode) to receive and handle WM_CLOSE

Implement runenv.sh.template

Implement runenv.sh.template for <executable-*> support on Linux

Reject non-feeds early on

Make FeedManager reject URLs that point to files that do not contain feeds before downloading the entire file. Otherwise accidentally pointing to a large archive might lead to an OutOfMemoryException.

GnuPG.GenerateKey(): New terminal window on Linux

Unlike Windows, Linux desktop environments do not automatically open a new terminal emulator window for command-line processes. GnuPG.GenerateKey() should automatically select and use a "suitable" terminal emulator when on Linux.

Make GnuPG more resilient

GnuPG is sometimes fails to write to its configuration directory, causing problems verifying feed signatures.
This happens, for example, when running Zero Install directly from the Portable ZIP archive using WinRAR.

Implement 0install-gtk.exe

Reimplement the WinForms version of 0install.exe using GTK#

Allow relative local paths in <archive>s and <file>s

Handle this in DownloadRetrievalMethod.Normalize()

CAB extraction

Add support for extracting CAB archives

Extraction quota

Enforce size and time limits when extracting archives in StoreService

StructureEditorContol selection problems on Mono

When a new element is added to a StructureEditorContol it should be automatically selected. On Mono one of the previous elements is selected instead.
