Check for system requirements software?

[Knox]

Hi!

Ive got a program that enables me to create an installer, but do you guys know of a software that will perform tests on the system to see if the minimum requirements are met? If they arent met, it will display a "failed" test...and wont let you install the game.

I was looking around for something like this without luck

I once did it with visual studio (ClickOnce) and this plugin:

visual studio bootstrapper

Do you really need a system requirement installer for an AGS game though.

I think letting the installer refuse to install the game isn't the way to go.

I mean, I remember my old 433Mhz machine that was able to run some games that displayed twice its hardware power as minimum reqs. It's ok to warn the user that his PC doesn't meet the reqs, but I think it's up to him wheter he tries it anyway or not.

Moreover - what Xen said.

With the bootstrapper you can customize it so that it would prompt you, and install the pre-requirement for you (if possible).

Its true...I just wanted to know if it existed! I can see how it can get annoying, for sure

I think Ill just let it up to the user!
