# JT2GO Installer
Automated installer for Siemens JT2Go 2512 with prerequisite checking and silent installation support.
## Overview
JT2Go is a free 3D CAD viewer for viewing JT, PDF, and other CAD formats. This installer automates the installation process by:
1. Checking for required prerequisites
2. Installing missing components automatically
3. Running the main JT2Go installer
## Prerequisites Checked
| Component | Detection Method | Installer |
|-----------|------------------|-----------|
| Visual C++ 2015-2022 x86 | Registry check | `VC_redist.x86.exe` |
| Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 | Registry check | `VC_redist.x64.exe` |
| .NET Framework 4.8 | Registry (Release >= 528040) | `NDP48-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe` |
## Files Required

## Usage
### Interactive Installation
1. Compile `JT2GO.iss` with Inno Setup Compiler
2. Run the generated `JT2GOSetup.exe`
3. The installer will:
- Display detected/missing prerequisites
- Ask for confirmation to install missing components
- Install prerequisites silently
- Launch JT2Go installer
### Silent Installation
```batch
JT2GOSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
```
With logging:
```batch
JT2GOSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOG="C:\install.log"
```
## How It Works
### Prerequisite Detection
**Visual C++ Redistributables:**
```
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\x64
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\x86
```
**.NET Framework 4.8:**
```
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
Release value >= 528040
```
### Installation Flow
1. **InitializeSetup** - Verify admin privileges
2. **Prerequisite Check** - Scan registry for installed components
3. **Display Summary** - Show what will be installed
4. **Install Prerequisites** - Run installers silently (`/quiet /norestart`)
5. **Handle Reboot** - If .NET requires reboot, notify user
6. **Install JT2Go** - Run main installer (`/L1033 /S /v"/qn /norestart"`)
## Customization
### Adding More Prerequisites
Edit the `[Code]` section in `JT2GO.iss`:
```pascal
function IsMyComponentInstalled: Boolean;
begin
// Add your registry check here
Result := RegKeyExists(HKLM, 'SOFTWARE\YourComponent');
end;
```
### Changing JT2Go Version
Update the installer filename and parameters in the script:
```pascal
JT2GoInstaller := ExpandConstant('{src}\JT2GoSetup.exe');
JT2GoParams := '/L1033 /S /v"/qn /norestart"';
```
## Troubleshooting
### "Requires administrator privileges"
Right-click the installer and select "Run as administrator"
### Prerequisites install but JT2Go fails
Check if JT2Go requires additional components not covered by this installer
### Silent install shows dialogs
The `/qn` flag ensures fully silent MSI installation. If dialogs appear, the MSI parameters may need adjustment.
## Building
1. Install [Inno Setup 6.x](https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php)
2. Download required installers to the JT2GO folder
3. Open `JT2GO.iss` in Inno Setup Compiler
4. Click Build > Compile (or press F9)
5. Output: `Output/JT2GOSetup.exe`
