Uploading Window App to e-junkie

Post by thehat » Wed Oct 12, 2016 7:44 am

Hi Everyone,

I posted a Mac standalone to e-junkie fairly easily. There was one problem, Safari could not do the upload, When I used Chrome the upload was successful.
When I tried to upload the Windows App I had trouble.

Is there an option to bundle a Windows App in the Stanalone settings?

Thanks

Hi Gregg,

no, there isn't!

You will need to create a SINGLE "setup.exe", since except some developers the average Windows user
is NOT capable of putting applications and their supporting files into the correct directory. :D

Here is a great freeware, which I also used in the past to create the infamous SETUP.EXE for Windows:

Mac standalones are folders in disguise actually and obviously Chrome is smart enough to handle them as single files.
Mac users however are used to download a DMG file, mount it and drag the contained application package into their Applications folder.


Best

I found it. There is an option to select "Move substacks into individuals stackfiles"
That was selected. I unselected that option and now it works. :D
