How to install Wayfinding
Where to get the installer
- Installers are located at http://c.i-gotcha.com/wayfindr/ (Use WinSCP to access)
- Starting from the version 2.0, any kiosks can use the identical version.
- Electron auto-updater will look for the installer location and as soon as it finds a latest version, it'll automatically download, update and restart the application.
Which version of Signage Player should you use
- Unless we use Advanced Installer to package Wayfinding and Signage Player, like Lamar, we have to use a special version of Sigange.
- The reason is that the electron builder doesn't allow us to change the installation path.
- By default, Wayfinding will always be installed under C:/Users/[Username]/AppData/Local/Programs/wayfinder
- Signage player has to be installed under C:/Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/iGotcha Media Inc/iGotchaSignage
- Simon already created a version of Signage player for this purpose.
- Make sure that Simon upload this version of player to Software Release section
How to setup the application after the installation
- After the initial installation, once you launch the application, a small configuration window will pop up.
- You need to provide buildingId in order to fetch the list of kiosks.
- Once you put a buildingId, press 'Load Building'
- It'll enable the dropdown menu under 'Kiosk', which contains all the available kiosks under that building.
- Choose a kiosk and press 'Submit'.
- It'll load up configuration for that kiosk and the application will use that configuration.
- If you want to change the kiosk, press Ctrl+O. It'll show the configuration menu.
What's next
- After setting up both iGS player and Wayfinding application, startup programs need to be configured.
- Make sure that the both Wayfinding and iGS manager are registered under shell:startup.
- Make sure that iGS manager is the one from AppData/Roaming, not from Program Files(x86) or any other locations.
- Also, make sure to add the batch script to kill explorer (Ask Francis for more detail)
