On Windows the InnoSetup installer was superseded by the MSI installer. It's no longer needed.
|
cc @retep998 (for Windows-specific review) |
|
At this point the only place I can think of that would still use this is some ancient CI configurations. I know winapi used to use these before I switched to rustup for testing arm cross builds. Hopefully we can soon get movement on installing rustup to a sane location on windows (please don't block it on xdg/Mac questions) |
|
@retep998 was that a "r+"? |
I plead the fifth. |
|
Heh. OK. Well I'm inclined to go forward with this PR (closes a bug! gets rid of older things!) but I'd like to hear more from @rust-lang/release or @rust-lang/compiler folks who might have thoughts on whether it makes sense. |
|
I didn’t even know we had this and has been mentioned this installer is not even linked on forge, so I don’t think there’s much motivation to keep it. I do think it would best to have some kind of announcement of the removal alongside this change though. The announcement itself could be as small as adding a compatibility note to the next release. |

relnotes

Good point. Tagging with relnotes, as this seems worth noting under "compatibility notes", per @XAMPPRocky's suggestion. |
|
I'd love to get more feedback from the community on this, either with a well publicized internals thread or even better with a quick RFC (like we did with the 32-bit Apple targets). |
|
@pietroalbini those both sound like reasonable suggestions. |
|
@ChrisDenton can you create an internals thread requesting feedback? You can also create a post for the Inside Rust blog if you prefer. |
|
@nikomatsakis, sure! I'm just trying to word it right. Is it sufficient to provide a short summary with a link to this PR or should I try to expand upon the reasoning (and potential drawbacks)? |
|
@ChrisDenton I think a short summary with a link to this PR would suffice, yes |

Ping from triage: |
|
@Elinvynia Yep! It was also mentioned on an Inside Rust blog post. It hasn't had any feedback in the last two weeks. That's not entirely unexpected. The installer was removed from the website before the release of Rust 1.0 so I'd guess very few people are even aware of it. |

We do now have a Windows notification group up and going, so I'm going to ping them just to see if anybody wants to weigh in, but I think I'm ready to move forward and land this PR. Thanks @ChrisDenton for your patience. =) @rustbot ping windows |

Hey Windows Group! This bug has been identified as a good "Windows candidate". cc @arlosi @danielframpton @gdr-at-ms @kennykerr @luqmana @lzybkr @retep998 @rylev @sivadeilra @spastorino |

…omatsakis Remove legacy InnoSetup GUI installer On Windows the InnoSetup `.exe` installer was superseded by the MSI installer long ago. It's no longer needed. The `.exe` installer hasn't been linked from the [other installation methods](https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#standalone) page in many years. As far as I can tell the intent was always to remove this installer once the MSI proved itself. Though admittedly both installers feel very "legacy" at this point. Removing this would mean we only maintain one Windows GUI installer and would speed up the distribution phase. As a result of removing InnoSetup, this closes rust-lang#24397

according to various people on tech-pkg@, there are no problems with
the Firefox build
Version 1.46.0 (2020-08-27)
==========================
Language
--------
- [`if`, `match`, and `loop` expressions can now be used in const functions.][72437]
- [Additionally you are now also able to coerce and cast to slices (`&[T]`) in
const functions.][73862]
- [The `#[track_caller]` attribute can now be added to functions to use the
function's caller's location information for panic messages.][72445]
- [Recursively indexing into tuples no longer needs parentheses.][71322] E.g.
`x.0.0` over `(x.0).0`.
- [`mem::transmute` can now be used in static and constants.][72920] **Note**
You currently can't use `mem::transmute` in constant functions.
Compiler
--------
- [You can now use the `cdylib` target on Apple iOS and tvOS platforms.][73516]
- [Enabled static "Position Independent Executables" by default
for `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`.][70740]
Libraries
---------
- [`mem::forget` is now a `const fn`.][73887]
- [`String` now implements `From<char>`.][73466]
- [The `leading_ones`, and `trailing_ones` methods have been stabilised for all
integer types.][73032]
- [`vec::IntoIter<T>` now implements `AsRef<[T]>`.][72583]
- [All non-zero integer types (`NonZeroU8`) now implement `TryFrom` for their
zero-able equivalent (e.g. `TryFrom<u8>`).][72717]
- [`&[T]` and `&mut [T]` now implement `PartialEq<Vec<T>>`.][71660]
- [`(String, u16)` now implements `ToSocketAddrs`.][73007]
- [`vec::Drain<'_, T>` now implements `AsRef<[T]>`.][72584]
Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Option::zip`]
- [`vec::Drain::as_slice`]
Cargo
-----
Added a number of new environment variables that are now available when
compiling your crate.
- [`CARGO_BIN_NAME` and `CARGO_CRATE_NAME`][cargo/8270] Providing the name of
the specific binary being compiled and the name of the crate.
- [`CARGO_PKG_LICENSE`][cargo/8325] The license from the manifest of the package.
- [`CARGO_PKG_LICENSE_FILE`][cargo/8387] The path to the license file.
Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [The target configuration option `abi_blacklist` has been renamed
to `unsupported_abis`.][74150] The old name will still continue to work.
- [Rustc will now warn if you cast a C-like enum that implements `Drop`.][72331]
This was previously accepted but will become a hard error in a future release.
- [Rustc will fail to compile if you have a struct with
`#[repr(i128)]` or `#[repr(u128)]`.][74109] This representation is currently only
allowed on `enum`s.
- [Tokens passed to `macro_rules!` are now always captured.][73293] This helps
ensure that spans have the correct information, and may cause breakage if you
were relying on receiving spans with dummy information.
- [The InnoSetup installer for Windows is no longer available.][72569] This was
a legacy installer that was replaced by a MSI installer a few years ago but
was still being built.
- [`{f32, f64}::asinh` now returns the correct values for negative numbers.][72486]
- [Rustc will no longer accept overlapping trait implementations that only
differ in how the lifetime was bound.][72493]
- [Rustc now correctly relates the lifetime of an existential associated
type.][71896] This fixes some edge cases where `rustc` would erroneously allow
you to pass a shorter lifetime than expected.
- [Rustc now dynamically links to `libz` (also called `zlib`) on Linux.][74420]
The library will need to be installed for `rustc` to work, even though we
expect it to be already available on most systems.
- [Tests annotated with `#[should_panic]` are broken on ARMv7 while running
under QEMU.][74820]
- [Pretty printing of some tokens in procedural macros changed.][75453] The
exact output returned by rustc's pretty printing is an unstable
implementation detail: we recommend any macro relying on it to switch to a
more robust parsing system.

On Windows the InnoSetup
.exeinstaller was superseded by the MSI installer long ago. It's no longer needed.The
.exeinstaller hasn't been linked from the other installation methods page in many years. As far as I can tell the intent was always to remove this installer once the MSI proved itself. Though admittedly both installers feel very "legacy" at this point.Removing this would mean we only maintain one Windows GUI installer and would speed up the distribution phase.
As a result of removing InnoSetup, this closes #24397
