Hello @SoyRA, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
Summary of Changes
I'm gemini-code-assist, providing a summary of this pull request. This PR, titled "The Verification Update", focuses on improving the Inno Setup installer script (inno.iss). Based on the description and the changes implemented, the primary goals are to restrict installation to supported Windows versions, ensure cleaner updates by handling existing JRE directories, and enhance the uninstall process by removing additional launcher-related files. The author also outlines several potential future enhancements in the description.
Highlights
- OS Compatibility Restriction: The installer is updated to only allow installation on Windows 8 or higher by adding the
MinVersiondirective in the[Setup]section. This prevents installation on older, unsupported operating systems like Windows 7 where certificate issues might occur during downloads. - Improved JRE Update Handling: The installation process now explicitly checks for and deletes an existing 'jre' directory within the application's installation path before renaming the newly downloaded JRE folder. This ensures a clean state for the JRE during updates or reinstalls, addressing potential conflicts.
- Enhanced Uninstall Process: The uninstall routine is modified to include the deletion of specific launcher files (
launcher_profiles.json.skbakandsklauncher-fx.jar) in addition to the application's JRE and data directories. This provides a more complete cleanup during uninstallation.
Changelog
- inno.iss
- Added
MinVersion=6.2.9200to the[Setup]section (Diff 1) to enforce a minimum Windows version requirement (Windows 8). - Modified the
RenameJREprocedure (Diff 2) to include a check and deletion of the existingjredirectory before renaming the new one. - Added entries for
launcher_profiles.json.skbakandsklauncher-fx.jarto the[UninstallDelete]section (Diff 3) to remove these files during uninstall.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several valuable enhancements to the Inno Setup installer. The restriction to Windows 8 and newer is a practical solution to avoid download issues on unsupported operating systems. The improvements to the JRE handling during installation (deleting an old JRE folder) and the more comprehensive uninstallation process are also significant positive changes. The code is generally clear and the PR description provides good context for the changes and future plans.
Summary of Findings
- User Feedback on Critical JRE Setup Failure: If deleting the old JRE folder fails during
RenameJRE(lines 133-136), the script currently logs the error and exits the procedure. This is good for preventing further inconsistent operations, but the user isn't directly notified of this critical failure. This could lead to a confusing situation where the installation seems to finish but the application is non-functional. A user-facing error message (e.g., viaMsgBox) and potentially aborting the installation (Abort();) would improve robustness. (Commented on lines 133-136 ininno.iss) - Minimum OS Version Justification: The
MinVersion=6.2.9200(Windows 8) setting, added at line 44, is well-justified in the PR description to avoid known Java/JavaFX download issues on Windows 7. While testing was performed on Windows 8.1, relying on compatibility for Windows 8.0 is generally a low risk. (Not commented directly on the code due to review settings prioritizing medium+ severity for code comments) - Enhanced Uninstallation Scope: The additions to
[UninstallDelete](lines 268-270) for removing more launcher-related files are a good step towards a cleaner uninstallation process. The PR description's note about future selective uninstallation options is a good roadmap item. (Not commented directly on the code due to review settings)
Merge Readiness
The pull request makes solid improvements to the installer. The primary concern is ensuring the user is adequately informed if a critical step like setting up the JRE fails. Addressing the feedback on error reporting in the RenameJRE procedure (lines 133-136) would significantly enhance the installer's robustness.
I am not authorized to approve pull requests. Once the suggested change is considered or implemented, this PR would be in a much stronger position for merging after further review and approval from authorized maintainers.

When DelTree fails to delete the old JRE folder, the script logs the error and then calls Exit;, which terminates the RenameJRE procedure. This is a good step to prevent further operations on a potentially problematic directory state. However, this critical failure isn't directly communicated to the user. The main installation process might appear to complete successfully, but the JRE (a crucial component) would not be set up correctly, potentially leading to a non-functional application.
Could we consider adding a user-facing error message before exiting the procedure? This would provide better feedback and help the user understand why the application might not work post-installation.
For example, you could use MsgBox:
if not DelTree(ExpandConstant('{app}\jre'), True, True, True) then begin
Log('Failed to delete old jre folder');
MsgBox('Setup failed to remove the existing JRE folder. This might be due to files being in use. Please ensure the application is closed and try reinstalling. The application may not function correctly.', mbError, MB_OK);
Exit; // Or consider Abort(); to stop the entire installation
end;Calling Abort(); after the MsgBox would terminate the entire setup process, which might be more appropriate if a failed JRE setup renders the application unusable. This would provide clearer feedback to the user about the installation status.
if not DelTree(ExpandConstant('{app}\jre'), True, True, True) then begin
Log('Failed to delete old jre folder');
MsgBox('Setup failed to remove the existing JRE folder. This might be due to files being in use. Please ensure the application is closed and try reinstalling. The application may not function correctly.', mbError, MB_OK);
Exit; // Or consider Abort(); to stop the entire installation if this failure is critical
end;

I don't even know what this PR is going to end up being, especially if going from Batch to Pascal involves quintuple reading. 😛
Commit explanation
Since in Windows 7, when it tries to download Java / JavaFX, it will get the error
Server Certificate Invalid or not presentand it's not something you plan to fix...it's better not to start the installation in the first place.But I actually tested it on Windows 8.1, I choose to believe it will work on Windows 8. xD
A "hey, you're on an obsolete OS, things might not work" warning could be created.
I don't think I need to explain anything here.
The main reason why I want to change the installer. :'v
It would be great to be able to ask the user if he wants to remove...
- Installer files
- Installer and Launcher files
- Installer, Launcher and Game files (everything)
