VisionDepth3D - Setup Downloader Update
Installer Update – Dev Log
This release includes a major quality-of-life update to the VisionDepth3D installation process, based on user feedback and real-world install issues.
What changed
-
New Setup Downloader
- Added a dedicated VisionDepth3D Setup Downloader to handle downloading installer files.
- Prevents missing
.bin files and partial installs from GitHub releases.
-
Clear Two-Step Install Flow
- Step 1: Setup Downloader downloads the installer files.
- Step 2: The official Inno Setup wizard runs and installs VisionDepth3D.
- This eliminates confusion between the installer and the actual application.
-
Improved Naming & Instructions
- Renamed the downloader to clearly indicate it is not the VisionDepth3D application.
- Added on-screen instructions to prevent re-running the downloader by mistake.
-
Cleaner Disk Usage
- Added an option to remove installer setup files after installation.
- This deletes the downloaded installer
.exe and .bin files only.
- The installed VisionDepth3D application is not affected.
-
User-Controlled Install Location
- The Inno Setup wizard now fully controls where VisionDepth3D is installed.
- Users can safely choose Documents or another user folder to avoid Windows permission issues.
Why this update matters
Some users were accidentally re-running the installer or missing required files when installing from GitHub or itch.io.
This new flow ensures:
- Reliable installs
- Fewer permission problems
- Clear separation between setup and application usage
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and reported install issues — this update directly reflects that input.
