If any of you have the Microsoft Dotnet framework 1.1 installed, can you test an installer for me ?

I have been having major problems with the NSIS installer system and installing fonts with it. I think I've finally got it sussed, but I need to test it on a few more machines.

The installer is 200KB and can be downloaded from:

http://www.norman.cx/download/gigajam/Analyser2.6%20with%20advreg.exe

During the install you will be asked if you want to register or trial the software, choose trial.

The program that it installs is called Gigajam Analyser, you will find it in your programs menu under Gigajam.

To test that the installer managed to install the font you need to download this file:

http://www.norman.cx/download/gigajam/data/RobertDevereuxGrade1.gdp

Load it into Analyser (file menu, drag and drop or just double click) and you should see something like this:



If you can't see musical notes, it isn't working.

The software is going to be used by these guys http://www.gigajam.com/ to grade music students performances.

Thanks a lot. If you try it out, please report back here with you success or (please, no) failure.

No problems. It installed and loaded the file fine.

Success here, too.

It looks like Robert Devereux either sneezed around measure 9 or he has some major hand-foot coordination problems.

Edit: Now, I don't know if it is a font problem or what, but measures 17 and 21 show 1/4 notes where there should be 1/8 notes. That is unless that measure suddenly switches to 6/4, which I doubt.

e.g.

That's fine. Analyser isn't supposed to show a precise repesentation of proper notation (which is a good thing as I couldn't code that). It just shows where the notes were and how long they were played for.

Thanks for testing it.

Ah, ok. Then the installer worked great. Very cool app, btw. I wish I had that when learning to play.
