diego out</anonymous></anonymous></anonymous>Yeah so, that's expected, sorry :( The plan is to make the app smart enough to be satisfied with the VC2017 redist if the VC2015 redist is required (since the VC2017 does both - and VC2015 will refuse to install if VC2017 is already there).
Redists are hell, forgive the temporary snafu.
Yeah I understand. Out of curiosity where does it save the redists in Windows? When I was trying to get it to work, it always kept re-downloading them. Are there plans to make it cache the redists instead? To avoid unnecessary bandwidth usage? (Yeah I know few MBs, but there are people with heavily capped internet so all the savings is always better.)
I've been working on prereqs (redists) just yesterday and I was thinking the same thing. The test-prereqs command I just added to butler v6.0.0 does cache them, since I had to run it so often :)
Prerequisites are better documented as of yesterday btw: https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/prereqs/
I should specify that I have a .zip file for Windows with the structure Win.zip/standalone/{app.exe, .itch.toml} and another for Mac with the structure Mac.zip/standalone/{app.app, .itch.toml}. The two .itch.toml files have the correct (I think) paths, and the Mac one has one less action type than the Windows one.
Hey nick^4,
I tried to find the upload to show you how to use 'butler validate' to check your manifest, but I couldn't - the two most recent Windows uploads I can find for your account don't have an app manifest at all.
Anyway, as described on https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/manifest/validating-your-manifest.html - you can use butler to validate manifests (and entire builds). Ran on your two of your uploads, they give this:
My guess (unfortunately without being able to confirm since I don't know which upload you're talking about) is that you put a manifest in `standalone/.itch.toml`, whereas it should just be in `.itch.toml`.
The problem is that there is a top-level folder in your .zip file. If you were to use butler to push your uploads, you could do `butler push standalone nicknicknicknick/someproject:windows` (where `standalone` is a folder), and it would do the right thing.
TL;DR:
Thanks for the reply. In fact, this is for work, so it's using another account, but I think the issue remains the same – the .itch.toml file needs to be in the top-level directory, regardless of where the .exe resides. I'll make the changes and try again (I'll post back here in a day or two with results, either way).
Heyyy, putting the .itch.toml file (and in my case all the other files) in the root of the .zip file, instead of a subdirectory within, worked like a charm! Thanks for the help.
