It installs Sakia under C:\Program Files\Sakia, adds shortcuts for installation/uninstall in start menu, and proposes a Dekstop shortcut also.

And it displays licence acceptation before proceeding.

You can try it in a VM first.

Ok, seems great. Does the uninstall clears the cache ?

You can do this on install phase:

[InstallDelete]
Type: filesandordirs; Name: "{userappdata}\sakia\cgeek\__cache__"

But as you can see, I cannot use wildcard to remove all the caches.

See http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=uninstalldeletesection

Oh ok. Well, can we add a checkbox to remove data when we uninstall ?

I don't know, however this would only solve the problem for Windows users.

That's why I've personnaly chosen to have an incremental database update script on startup for Duniter, I will use it as much as I can.

Interesting method. I versioned my cache so I will probably have to do something like this someday.

For the checkbox, I was thinking about being able to clean data or not when uninstalling Sakia.

This is probably the best way: a batch with checkbox option at the end of the installation.

You could also tune the batch to delete only __cache__ or whatever.

Have fun!

Thanks !
