LF-Empire Client

[Luigi600]

What? Your client takes 3.36 MB when installed and html files take 14.5 MB. Where does 15+ MB come from? Why the installer is 33.5 MB?

Okay the size is wrong. Client + Library need 5.49 MB + 14.5 MB. Although I thought that the sites have a size about 25MB - I apologize me for that and thank you for your report wrong display size.
The +15 MB are me not noticed. I have a lot of projects. I wanted finish fast with this project. I focus on Easier LF-Editor so that he is a "good software".

350 downloads since when? You released this app like 1 year ago and if you count all those downloads from the beginning: ~12 GB data traffic for one year?

Yes right. The aspect of DDoS protection is also to named. 362 HTML Files + 362 download windows sites (to get the download link) are 724 access in few seconds. Not each hoster like that.

You shall not do such thing as coding your own installer/setup unless you know what you're doing. Seriously. If you desperately need one, use an existing tool that does the right thing. (NSIS, Inno Setup, WiX...)

I don't like fall back to frameworks etc (except .NET-Framework) but double size is not okay. I agree to you with this aspect.

You don't need to put them into AppData/Local.

And that is wrong. Do you ask itself why the installer needs admin rights? The reason is that windows is stupid. The programm files folder need admin rights. If I have an application with few files (like that here), than I want put it in programm files. Each month, the client search at new downloads. The client needs write-access to "items". If I not using appData then you must start the client everytime with admin rights or i must write an extern program and that must start with admin rights. Also the "last directory" file must create. It is obvious for me that I save all program data in appData.

YOU NEED TO COMPRESS YOUR APP.

YES I UNDERSTAND YOU


The point with standalone app i can accept not still.

----------------------- EDIT -------------------------------------
HTML files shorter, Installer compressed.
Now 8.5 MB. Still to large but better.
