The problem DXperience 12.1 ships with a radically re-designed installer. Not only did we update the look and feel, we also aimed for better performance and simpler UI. Performance issues are now a thing of the past and as far as UI goes, we have addressed the most frequent issue we used to face – make it simple to install registered products. What used to be somewhat complicated has now become straightforward. You follow a very simple path to have all your purchased products installed and only appropriate controls displayed on your Visual Studio Toolbox. We consciously sacrificed flexibility to achieve simplicity. While we believe that most people will benefit from these changes, there are customers who want more control over the installation process.

The main complaint, as we see it, is that there should be a way of not installing some products, although they have been purchased within a product suite. The simplest example is installing only WinForms Controls while having a license to the entire DXperience Enterprise or Universal subscription. Let’s consider ways of implementing this in the installer, as well as other ways to save some hard drive space when installing our tools. Installation Anatomy Let’s first take a look at how the installer works.

Things we need to install are:. assemblies for different platforms. source code.

demo applications. Visual Studio templates and Visual Studio Toolbox entries The obvious thing to do, as described above, is to disable certain products (i.e. Certain platforms). This will result in fewer assemblies copied to your computer and fewer entries in Visual Studio dialogs and Toolbox. Another way to reduce the required disk space is not to install Source Code and/or Demo Applications.

The following table shows the size of each component. Component Size WinForms, ASP.NET, WPF assemblies 2 15M These platforms cannot be installed separately as they have inter-assembly dependencies. If you want to disable one of these platforms, we will still copy their assemblies, but will not integrate these products into Visual Studio. Silverlight assemblies 109M XAF assemblies 10M Demo Applications 800M (Common 100M, ASP.Net 200M, SL 200M, WPF 120M, WinForms 80M and Charts&Reports 100M) Source Code 477M Solution that Makes Sense A solution that makes most sense to us is to provide an additional “Advanced” customization step within the installer that will allow you to disable Demos, Source Code or any given platform (note that inter-dependent assemblies will still be copied, as described above). Here’s a draft: Let us know what you think. I am with mdx. When did we decide to leave CodeRush (IDE Tools) out?

I find it EXTREMELY inconveniencing to have to not only install both products but to have to download TWICE. When I sinstalled the Dxpereince installer, I did not see CodeRush as an option only realising later that it REALLY wasn't installed. Then when I installed CodeRush it suggested I Remove, Repair or Modify. This happened THREE TIMES! 12.1, 12.1.2 the 12.1.3 It will take getting used to I know but you could have spared ONE PAGE of the 59 (originally 58) and told us you changed something. Great job on the installer UI, INSPIRING! I agree with the draft above.

I agree with mdx, you are missing the IDE tools. I think you should provide an optional Advanced step that has a breakout like you had in the previous installer. With that installer you could choose the various technologies to install along with the source code (by technology). I don't see what was so complicated about the installer before and why you had to change it. If you wanted to simplify it, you should have just added an express install (like with MS Office) instead of taking away all the features. Hello Azret, Thanks for your blog post.

I love the new installer for its straightforwardness and its wonderfully clear design. Actually, it is the nicest software installer I have ever ever seen! I also love the fact that it does not show me all sorts of irrelevant screens. Two questions/remarks: 1. Why is CodeRush no more in the main installer? The Windows Metro look is a must and I so love the fact that the buttons are bigger than before, especially as our screens are getting more and more pixels.

However, I find it sometimes hard to distinguish a selected button from a deselected one, when they are dissociated only by their color. Keep more good things coming!

I couldn't care less what it looks like, but this functionality is needed badly. I haven't upgraded to 12.1.

I don't really want to until I can install the stuff I want. I have Enterprise because I want source code. I don't want to install WPF/Silverlight/ASP/XAF/Crap, I just want WinForms with source.

Like I always could have. Back in the good old days. First SC2, now the installer.

Who are these customers that I saying, 'I don't need functionality, I just need everything to look giant/Metro.' Am I alone thinking, 'what the heck is going on?' I am glad you are listening and looking to implement this feature (and I hope it comes quickly!) but it never should have been released without it.

Add one more vote to putting back in advanced installation settings. For me, it's not so much about disk space, but clutter. I like to install only what I'm actually using on a given box. And because of the pricing structure, many people buy the Enterprise and Universal subscriptions intending to only use a subset of the included products. Plus, as others have mentioned, I only install the assemblies needed for building on the build server. Also, separating the IDE tools actually made the installation more complicated for me.

Because of that, I had to run through two installations, which meant I had to put in my login and password as well as change the default installation directory twice. In the absolute sense, it wasn't that big of a deal. But relatively speaking, the old installer took less clicks to get things installed in my case. If you want to streamline installations while keeping things flexible, one option might be to have the installer reference a config file.

If the config file isn't there (in the same folder), it works as normal, giving the users the option to install everything or to do an advanced install. But if the config file is there, it installs the products listed in there by default. A feature could be added to the download area that would generate these config files for people based on the products they selected. Once people had the config file, they would only need to update it if they wanted different products.

So future installations would continue to install exactly the products that they defined. Metro look - blah. Don't need that when installing developer tools. If we had had PCs in 1966 - this is the look we would have had. Big squares with text inside. I just don't like it. And it's far from clear if Metro will be a success.

I guess you have to give those of us who want to do Metro apps with Devexpress tools some help, but I don't see the need to let it infect the website, support center, and now the installer. PLEASE put a message on the download page that the main installer no longer includes Coderush. I got burned by that.
