v3.3.1 Changes
February 09, 2017๐ Fixes to the CI system to produce 32-bit executables and installer packages.
-
v3.3.0 Changes
January 04, 2017โ Added
- ๐ป It is now possible to append command line arguments to the executable to create a self-installing binary that automatically installs the given package list.
๐ Changed
- just-install won't automatically load
just-install.json
from the current directory anymore. Use the-r, --registry
command line flag to specify an alternate path.
-
v3.2.0 Changes

- Reliability improvements.
-
v3.1.0 Changes
September 06, 2015โ Addded
- โ Add a
--download-only
command line switch to download installers without installing them.
๐ Changed
- We now download the registry and all installers under
%TEMP%\just-install
.

-
v3.0.0 Changes
July 25, 2015๐ฅ Breaking Changes
- Due to changes in the MSI authoring tool, uninstall the old version of just-install before
upgrading by running
msiexec /x {CEB24764-4726-4E3D-A66B-BE75ABAC4CD8} /qn
- ๐ Changed the format of the registry file which is now documented and validated through the use of JSON schema. The way variable expansion is done was also changed with this release and we invite you to give a look at the new [just-install.json](just-install.json) file for an example of the new syntax.
- We now create shims under
%SystemDrive%\Shims
. The old path (%SystemDrive%\just-install
) won't be migrated automatically so that your old shims will still work with your actual setup. We display a prominent warning until you remove the old%SystemDrive%\just-install
directory. You can safely copy your old shims to their new place without having to regenerate them. - โก๏ธ The
checklinks
andself-update
actions have been removed.
โ Added
- ๐ It is now possible to specify per-architecture install options. See the perl entry as an example.
๐ Changed
- Switched from AdvancedInstaller back to WiX as the tool used to generate just-install's MSI package. This will probably cause just-install to appear twice in "Add/Remove programs" for some users.
- โก๏ธ The registry is automatically updated if the locally cached copy is more than 24 hours old, which
means that, in most cases, you don't have to manually run
just-install update
anymore.
๐ Fixed
- The devious owners of
amd.com
,codeplex.com
andjava.oracle.com
put some lame safeguards against hot-linking, which broke downloads from said websites. We have implemented some workarounds to get downloads working again.
- Due to changes in the MSI authoring tool, uninstall the old version of just-install before
upgrading by running
-
v2.3.1 Changes
February 03, 2015๐ Changed
- Architecture detection now uses the
%ProgramFiles(x86)%
environment variable to determine whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit capable. This should also fix a problem where just-install failed to start on 32-bit platforms. - The
${version}
variable is now expanded also during shim creation.
- Architecture detection now uses the
-
v2.3.0 Changes
December 07, 2014โ Added
- โ A new testing infrastructure now ensures that all installers are still reachable after each commit.
๐ Changed
- โฌ๏ธ Prompt users to upgrade in case the registry file format has changed in a non-backward-compatible way.
- Shim executables are now created using exeproxy, which replaces the old "mklink" way. You may want to refresh the shims by calling "just-install -s [pkg...]"
-
v2.2.0 Changes
September 21, 2014โ Added
- โ Added a new
extension
registry option to specify a custom extension to be appended to downloaded files. - The
%ProgramFiles%
and%ProgramFiles(x86)%
environment variables get normalized at startup according to the scheme described in bug #47 - ๐ Some executables are symlinked to
%SystemDrive%\just-install
(only on Windows Vista and later). - โ Added a new command-line
-s
switch to force regeneration of shim executables without having to re-install the program again. E.g.:just-install -s mercurial
.
๐ Changed
- ๐ฆ just-install now comes as an MSI package.
- โก๏ธ
just-install self-update
is now an alias forjust-install -f just-install
. - Installers and executables in general are now launched directly instead of going through the shell.
- just-install now honors registry entries not having the installer as first argument for entries of "custom" type.
โ Removed
- just-install will no longer try to copy itself to
%WinDir%
.
- โ Added a new
-
v2.1.0 Changes
August 22, 2014โ Added
- โ Add support for wrapped installers (e.g. MSI file in a ZIP container). To see how to use this feature check out the "colemak" and "smartkey" entries from the registry.
- โ Add support for extracting ZIP files to an arbitrary location on disk. To see how this feature works, see the "depends" and "sysinternals" entries from the registry.
๐ Fixed
- Now honoring the "arguments" array for "custom" installers.
- ๐ Just-Install exits with an error if it fails to parse the registry.
-
v2.0.1 Changes
August 12, 2014- Embedded manifest to require elevation.
- Embedded the icon in the executable again.
