I played a little bit with some .bat scripting to ease the execution of Inno Installer and easily uninstall games setup that way.
Basically, while waiting for an official solution, the drop.bat file I created can be called by drop to -setup or -launch a game. The game is installed in a subdirectory where the setup.exe resides on the client’s computer. After the setup completes, all setup files are automatically deleted, leaving only the installed game.
To configure this for each game, a drop.conf file must be created per version, with some basic information like the game name, if a desktop icon must be created, the start menu name,…
The .bat file will locate automatically the game .exe file if its name is known in advanced, otherwize, it’s up to the user to locate it manually upon first launch.
When drop uninstall the game, because everything is stored inside the downloaded folder, the game is effectively deleted (not uninstalled) and the clients computer stays clean.
i will test it in the following days and if i’m happy with it, I can share it with the devs or anyone interested to help grow drop ;)
