Proposal: installer checksum downloaded add-on files

Post by zwz »

The UltraVNC installer downloads three files from http://sc.uvnc.com/: namely SCHook.dll, cad.exe and Ultravnc_driver_Setup.exe. A glance at UltraVnc_installer_script.iss didn't find any checksumming statement. Is it possible to do SHA1 checksumming after downloading files using isxdl.dll in the Inno installer?

ubcd4win have a self-checker for verify the file is not broken, very great idea.

It seems to me that NSIS is more feature-rich than Inno Setup.

It has a variety of plugins, including a download plugin
<http://nsis.sourceforge.net/InetLoad_plug-in>, and a Cypto plugin <http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Crypto_plug-in> which provides all sorts of hash algorithms.

I wish I could help write an NSIS script for UltraVNC. But I don't have a ready build environment and the learning curve is steep for me.
