Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/563

This issue was open, so you can test new features before they are released to everyone.

Download here: ScreenToGif Setup.zip

Download the texts to translate: Strings.en.zip

(Updated December 15th, 2019)
(Updated December 19th, 2019)
(Updated January 24th, 2020)

What's new?

• Well, the installer was rebuilt from scratch...
• New interface.
• It's now possible to select which features you want to install.
• If needed, .NET Framework 4.8 will be downloaded and installed.
• The installer supports translations. If you want to translate it, download the Strings.en.zip above.
• You can also see, how much storage space the installation will need.

Fixed:

♦ DPI support was improved.
♦ During the uninstallation, the app folder was not being removed.
♦ Fixed the messages/warnings when the installation finishes.

What needs to be tested?

○ ???

Observations

♠ Version number in test release says 2.20 but it actually installs 2.19.3, that will change later.
♠ I'm forcing the detection of .NET Framework to result in False, so that the Prerequisites step can appear. That will change later too.

@SilentSin commented on GitHub (Dec 15, 2019):

I had to look up what each of the optional components are (SharpDX and Gifski) so it might be worth adding links to them and/or descriptions of what they do in ScreenToGif.

And the UAC dialog took several seconds to appear which is longer than most programs take, but I realise there might not be anything you can do about that.

Other than that, the installer worked fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to add tooltips, explaining what each component is responsible for.

Indeed, I have no control over how long the UAC dialog takes to appear. :/

For me on Windows 7 x64 the process for downloading and installing the .net 4.8 framework seemed to stall. The progress bar kept going, but i noticed a .tmp.exe (forget exact name, but info indicated it was the 4.8 .net installer) in process explorer that didnt seem to be doing anything (after leaving it for 20 minutes). I killed the that tmp.exe process and the setup continued, informing me some stuff might not have succeeded (the 4.8 .net specifically). The installation continued, ended and then i was able to launch the app from the shortcut placed on the desktop - app opened fine - the tray/task icon didnt show, although space for an icon in the traybar was created (which is related to the shell notify icon issue #525).

@mrfearless Yes, the .NET installation takes a lot of time. It took like 30s for me, and I already had it installed...
