Scripts updates: WorkOnLinux improvements

Thursday 12 June 2008 at 16:12

PlayOnLinux did a large number of updates for the scripts.

Let's start with the newcomers:

Inno Setup (A Windows setup creator)
mIRC (the famous scriptable IRc client)
Trillian (A very powerful Multi-protocol Instant Messenger that works perfectly with Wine)
IZArc (A free and adaptable archive extractor. I didn't found any equivalent piece of software for Linux)
.NET Framework 2.0

This last one will be useful to install the .NET Framework 2.0 in the prefix of your choice.

Updates

- Several scripts have been renamed for a better integration and more clarity.
- The Notepad++ script now installs the 2.9.2 version instead of the 2.3 one

And then?

Other new scripts will arrive, such as:
- Mozilla Firefox with macromedia shockwave player support (else it's useless).
- DirectX will be accessible in the "Other" category rather than in the main menu, as from 3.0.3 version.
- The .NET Framework 1.1 will be scripted
- A script will be done to install the gecko engine in the prefix of your choice
- Mono 1.0 will be scripted
- Various libraries

We are working on:

Some softwares that hardly install with Wine, such as:
- iTunes (for the store)
- Quicktime (same principle as .NET Framework, it will ask the prefix where to install)
- Windows Live Messenger (for ... hmm ... the wizz and also, we hope, for the audio and the video)

Have a good day all :-)
