Installation Tool and a quick update
To install MoneyBaron, I’ve opted not to use M$’s setup tool that is built-in to VS.NET. Instead, I’ve decided to go with Inno Setup. It’s one of the leading installation tools that falls under the free column. Great tool and lots of support. For basic installations, the wizard is just about all you need. There’s a couple other add-ons/tools that I’ll probably tinker with later…
As far as where I’m at with the development, I had to revamp the Categories a little to include separation of Income/Expense categories. My original design did not have them separated, and once I coded it and actually looked at it, I didn’t like it. So it is now a very clear distinction.
Payees are pretty much done. Will eventually add more fields, but is usable now.
I have the types designed, but not coded. I’ve got the transaction Detail form GUI coded, and most of the code-behind, but don’t have the db updates done. After the above is done, and a completed installation process exists, then I should be ready for the first release! Woohoo! Being the first release, it will definitely be an infant Alpha release, but would love to hear some feedback.
Signing off for now, and probably won’t be able to write for another week, so have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
