hxwandClaude Opus 5.5 485046bf35 Issue #399: Windows MSI: choose the install folder; upgrades keep it
The interactive installer now walks Welcome -> Destination Folder ->
Ready -> progress -> Completed (from #79). Destination Folder is WiX's
InstallDirDlg: Program Files\LightCraft by default, Change... browses,
and WixUIValidatePath refuses a folder that can't be used.

The chosen folder is written to HKLM\Software\LightCraft\InstallFolder
and read back (into PREVIOUSINSTALLFOLDER, then INSTALLFOLDER after
AppSearch unless given on the command line), so a major upgrade stays in
the user's folder instead of moving back to Program Files. Silent and
passive installs show no dialogs and take INSTALLFOLDER=....

packaging-lint fails if lightcraft.wxs loses the folder page, the
remembered folder or the completion page's launch action.

Tested with wix 5.0.2 (x64, arm64, x86 build) and msiexec /qn: upgrade
from 0.4.0 stays in Program Files; a custom INSTALLFOLDER install, an
upgrade without it (stays), an upgrade with another INSTALLFOLDER (moves
there), and uninstall (files, folder and registry value removed).

Brandon Thomas 45621f5679 Issue #18: Windows MSI: finish dialog with Launch LightCraft
Interactive MSI installs now walk Welcome -> Ready to install -> progress
-> "Completed the LightCraft Setup Wizard" (Finish) with "LightCraft has
been installed" text and a checked-by-default "Launch LightCraft"
checkbox. Failure and cancellation end on WiX's standard FatalError /
UserExit pages; silent (/qn) and basic-UI (/passive) installs show no
dialogs and launch nothing.

- lightcraft.wxs: custom UI set = WixUI_Minimal without the licence page
  (MIT OR Apache-2.0 asks nothing of installers), maintenance dialogs for
  repair/remove, ARPNOMODIFY. Launch uses the Util extension's
  WixUnelevatedShellExec via Explorer (runs as the signed-in user, never
  elevated), Return="ignore", only when NOT Installed and the box is ticked.
- package.ps1: add WixToolset.UI/Util.wixext 5.0.2 to the global cache,
  pass -ext ... -culture en-us, and generate plain side/banner bitmaps
  (brand blue / white) so the MSI carries no WiX sample artwork.

Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 11ebb3bdb6 Windows packaging: Start Menu/Add-Remove icon, no console window, correct description
The MSI Icon id had no .ico/.exe extension, which Windows Installer needs for
advertised shortcuts and ARPPRODUCTICON, so both showed a blank icon. Release
builds of the desktop app are now GUI-subsystem (no console window; the CLI stays
a console program), the shortcut/summary description names what LightCraft does, and
packaging-lint rejects an Icon id without an extension. Found in printcraft#57.

Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 4.8 453f97b549 Signed release pipeline (macOS/Windows/Linux/Web); README community note
Ports photocraft's release workflow + packaging (signing, notarization,
MSI/DMG/deb/rpm/AppImage/web), adds `cargo xtask version`. File-type
associations omitted (route B); app keeps its own .desktop. Fresh WiX
UpgradeCode. README 'about' note updated.
