Hi all,


after 2.5 days of fight I was able to produce a new shining pgadmin3, 
even with an installer. What a relief.
It runs, and has that unfortunate bug still at the same place :)

Now going to investigate the bug itself as time permits.

As a side effect, I now have a detailed and valid instruction (saved for 
myself) and I know what is definitely wrong in the Windows section of 
INSTALL instruction. Maybe I'll come up with a patch to correct the 
instruction.

I used Visual Studio 2010 professional this time. No additional packs or 
platforms or SDKs or whatever. I'm also going to try with VS2013 later.

Building .msi appeared rather easy, if using some suitable version of 
wix. For me 3.5 worked fine, 3.0 didn't.

Thanks for the hint, I tried that approach, well kind of, but 
subsequently gave up and switched to building all from Visual Studio GUI 
instead. Thing is, msbuild is certainly incompatible with vcbuild (or 
why would ms otherwise bother to replace one by another :))) so I 
figured I'd better not waste too much time to just learn in all 
practical details the history of variuos abandonware.

I think not all combinations are necessary; I only selected unicode and 
release, that seemed to suffice. However I had to build wxwindows both 
dynamic and static, otherwise not all of dependencies could apparently 
be build successfully.

Thanks, yes, they will probably help as soon as I try to arrange a fully 
non-interactive rebuild, and I would really like to do it.

Indeed, the INSTALL is way outdated.


Thank you,
Nikolai
