What I did
Created a windows installer to allow easy & supported installs on windows machines
Created a proper windows service to allow sshnpd to interact with the OS like other windows services.
Programmatically signs the executables in the windows binary as part of the "NoPorts" app, in order to avoid any issues with anti-viruses.
How I did it
I looked into WiX, VS Installer and Inno Setup and all of them are almost impossible to use for our use case... so instead I started to create a WPF App as the installer. The one downside to this is I couldn't get it to compile as a msi... but all the benefits of an msi can be used from the windows C++ dlls' (See ServiceInstaller.cs).
So with that here are some windows features we now support 🤠
NEW OF SEPT 22
** How to verify it**
I'll build it once I'm done and throw it in here probably.
Important Note
Create a directory in
C:\Program Files\NoPorts\sshnp\and place the SshnpdService.exe inside that directory.The SshnpdService.exe should be inside the windows bundle, but I haven't created a release for it yet.
