Post by maboroshinokiseki » Sun Jun 25, 2023 2:59 pm

I'm a Linux user, just tried to use wine to run the installer, but it result corrupted files for some reason.
I want to know is it possible to open source the installer, so I may try to make a Linux port of it.
Or may you grand me the permission to port it to Linux? (Not guaranteed that I'm able to do it though :P)

I could try to rewrite it in a different language.
From the example code I read from Wikipedia, Object Pascal doesn't seem too different from languages I know of.
Besides, there are Free Pascal and Lazarus, though I'm not sure how similar is Free Pascal to Object Pascal.

The installer for me barfed on the free space verification. I asked zilav about it
Seems like Wine doesn't properly emulate GetDiskFreeSpaceEx Windows API function which I use.

I've encountered this kind of error long ago while trying to install something. I think it's already been fixed now. :)
