Torch Installer/Updater

[Jimmacle]

Torch 2 will handle installation and updates of itself and plugins via a separate executable.

Requirements

• A user can select the game and the location they want to install Torch for.
  • (lower priority) The installer can install the base game files itself.
  • Torch includes the base plugin for the game automatically.
• A user can select plugins they want to install or remove.
  • Only allow plugins compatible with the game being installed to.
  • Users can choose a specific version or version range to install.
  • Resolve dependencies between selected plugins and select the best fitting versions of them.
• The installer downloads/unpacks the requested files in the correct locations and generates an appropriate load configuration for Torch.
• The installer is extensible to support future ideas like:
  • On-disk DLL patching
  • New games
