• InstallShield Express SUBJECT.
• InstallShield Express PRODUCT NAME.
• InstallShield Express PRODUCT VERSION.
• InstallShield Express INSTALLDIR.
• InstallShield Express PRODUCT CODE.
• InstallShield Express UPGRADE CODE.
• InstallShield Express Shortcuts/Folders menu, change the heading for the desktop folder and for the START-menu entry.

Be Sure That All Materials Build And That All Version-Controlled Files Committed

• Be sure that:
  • IjuConsole builds with no warnings and no errors.
  • IjuScripter builds with no warnings and no errors.
  • All files in c:\swprojs\ijs_ijc are committed.
  • The book builds with no errors.
  • All files in c:\ucswbka are committed.
  • All files in c:\pubs are committed (for example, the Farey series and continued fraction spreadsheets).
  • All files in c:\distribs are committed except the InstallShield Express project file and the InstallShield Package-For-The-Web project files.

Obtain A Clean Copy Of The IjuScripter/IjuConsole Source Code

• Obtain a clean copy of the IjuScripter/IjuConsole source code.  To do this, rename or delete any necessary directories and from the root directory, type "cvs checkout swprojs/ijs_ijc".

Obtain A Clean Copy Of The Book Source Code

• Obtain a clean copy of the book source code.  To do this, rename or delete any necessary directories and from the root directory, type "cvs checkout ucswbka".

Package The IjuScripter/IjuConsole Source Code

• Use InstallShield Package-For-The-Web.  Name the resulting file ijutools_vX_XX_source.exe, and move it to a known directory.

Package The Book Source Code

• Use InstallShield Package-For-The-Web.  Name the resulting file ijutools_vX_XX_book_source.exe, and move it to a known directory.

Rebuild IjuScripter And IjuConsole

• To rebuild these products, for each one, open the two workspaces one-at-a-time and choose "rebuild all".

Rebuild Book

• To rebuild the book, in the directory c:\ucswbka\scripts, double-click on the link, then when the Tcl script runs click the "rebuild all" button.

Create IjuTools Installation Binary

• Use "cvs -q update" to be sure that only the InstallShield Express project file and InstallShield PFTW project files are uncommitted.  Everything else should be committed.
• Delete any old installations and run InstallShield Express and build the installation.
• Run the installation, check version numbers of tools installed, and check all links.  Debug and correct any issues, then rebuild and re-test the installation.
• Optionally, deinstall the installation.
• Compact the InstallShield Express project file (this is an option in InstallShield Express).
• Be sure that all files in c:\distribs are committed.
• Name the executable ijutools_vX_XX_install.exe, and move it to a known directory.

Package The Book .PDF File

• Copy the file c:\ucswbka\svf.pdf to ijutools_vX_XX_book.pdf, and move it to a known directory.

Record The File Sizes And CRCs

• All of the files that will be distributed should be in a known directory.  Write down their file sizes and CRCs.  This information will be used in the notes when these files are put up for distribution.

Transfer The Files Up To SourceForge And Release Them

• These instructions are on SourceForge.  FTP to upload.sourceforge.net, use user-ID "ftp" then password "dtashley@ijutools.sourceforge.net".  Then, "cd incoming" and "binary", then "put <filename>".  When adding the files as downloads, the file sizes and CRC-32s should be included.

Update The Tcl Interpreter Used For Building The Book

• In the scripts directory of the book, update IJC.EXE with the newest.  This will give the opportunity to use this interpreter until the next release.

Commit The InstallShield Express And PFTW Project Files

• Commit these files in c:\distribs.

Test The Source Code Distributions

• Check the source code distributions to be sure they expand and compile.  Delete original directories, expand, compile, delete.

Obtain New Sandboxes

• Re-obtain all materials from CVS.  Generally, delete the underlying directories, then from the root directory "cvs checkout distribs ucswbka swprojs" or something like this.
