Let the user choose the location. You don't want to dump 1gb of data on their C drive.

@HISEnberg I know "Inno Setup" so I create installers, I'm looking for when when opening the vst the first time it asks to search for the samples, I would like to skip this step I would like the vst to open directly with the samples.

@d-healey Yes, that's true, every VST I've installed in my life, I've left it by default in the C lol

I'm just wondering if it's possible to remove the "search for samples" message and have the VST automatically open with the samples.

Yes you can disable the box with the preprocessor HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1

During installation you need to ask the user where they want to install the samples and place them in that location. Then you need to generate a link file in the appdata folder that points to that location.

You also have to handle the situation when the user moves the samples to another location.

@d-healey oualla it's complicated.

[d.healey]

@tsempire Yeah, I'm working on an installers masterclass. I'll try and include this configuration in it too. Won't be ready for a while though.

[tsempire]

@d-healey I would wait perfectly thank you.

[d.healey]

@tsempire Cool, if you have any more ideas about what you'd like your installer to do or how you want it to work from the user's point of view, send me a dm and I'll see if I can include it.

[tsempire]

@d-healey No problem, I'll think about something and let you know.
