[Coco] Latest Release of the VCC Color Computer 3 Emulator

[Salvador Garcia]

Thanks Bill. Doing away with the different Express edition was a good move. Having to download and install different development environment of the same product seemed inefficient. Better to have everything in one place as it is in the commercial product. Salvador

Salvador, MS has done away with the "Express" series. MSVS2015 Community is a "one app compiles them all" type of thing... It's really nice. It does source control, guithub, sourceforge etc.. I was told there's a version of LWtools that runs with it, so the Nitros9 repo could be built with it.As for the install package, I use an opensource app called "Inno Installer" which is used by many software distributions. It can be configured to do about anything. I've just begun to see the power this installer has. But alas... it's windows only and when we get VCC into crosscompiling for multiplatform, I will have to look for something else.

I was curious about how you are creating the install package. I am getting ahead of myself, as I have not gone to the download site to see this for myself before I ask questions. One limitation of the "Express" line of VS is that you can not create an install package for your app. Maybe the Community Edition of VS2015 does allow this.

But, it ONLY runs on Win 7 and up. I imagine the pro edition is nice, with tons of features (I've had several of the past versions), but who's got that kind of money?The idea was to use something readily available to anyone who wanted to build it themselves. But be warned, the sources change from day to day sometimes as we are constantly working on things.
