Installer Update – Dev Log

This release includes a major quality-of-life update to the VisionDepth3D installation process, based on user feedback and real-world install issues.

What changed

• New Setup Downloader

  • Added a dedicated VisionDepth3D Setup Downloader to handle downloading installer files.
  • Prevents missing .bin files and partial installs from GitHub releases.

• Clear Two-Step Install Flow

  • Step 1: Setup Downloader downloads the installer files.
  • Step 2: The official Inno Setup wizard runs and installs VisionDepth3D.
  • This eliminates confusion between the installer and the actual application.

• Improved Naming & Instructions

  • Renamed the downloader to clearly indicate it is not the VisionDepth3D application.
  • Added on-screen instructions to prevent re-running the downloader by mistake.

• Cleaner Disk Usage

  • Added an option to remove installer setup files after installation.
  • This deletes the downloaded installer .exe and .bin files only.
  • The installed VisionDepth3D application is not affected.

• User-Controlled Install Location

  • The Inno Setup wizard now fully controls where VisionDepth3D is installed.
  • Users can safely choose Documents or another user folder to avoid Windows permission issues.

Why this update matters

Some users were accidentally re-running the installer or missing required files when installing from GitHub or itch.io.
This new flow ensures:

• Reliable installs
• Fewer permission problems
• Clear separation between setup and application usage

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and reported install issues — this update directly reflects that input.
