Nitrocid’s Windows installer becomes more modular with optional addons installation

We have released v0.2.0.10 and v0.1.0.77 with the improved Windows installer! You can now try it out by downloading the installer file in the Releases page here. Learn more about it here.

Last year, we have introduced a brand new way to install Nitrocid to your Windows system using the WiX installer. This method provides you an easy way to install Nitrocid, and we have already integrated it with our WinGet packages for Nitrocid to make it easier for those who prefer WinGet over Chocolatey, as we know that WinGet is bundled with Windows 11 and modern Windows 10 versions by default.

However, the Windows installer didn’t allow you to exclude the Nitrocid addons, which meant that the minimal installation, which Nitrocid already supports, isn’t possible with this installer method. We needed to rectify this problem, and we took it into consideration during the rather quiet development of an upcoming version of Nitrocid, which is v0.2.1.

Now, we are very thrilled to introduce you to an enhanced Windows installer! It finally allows you to choose whether or not to exclude Nitrocid addons during the installation, and this is one of the most noticeable changes that will be introduced to Nitrocid v0.2.1!

Not only will this enhanced installer land to v0.2.1, but it will also land to v0.2.0 and v0.1.0 in a future upgrade expected to release later this week. This is part of our broader plan to support Nitrocid v0.1.0 and v0.2.0 for a long term while providing improvements to our projects.
