Re: [Ring] Which of 4 Gnu ring exe files for installation on windows to use

[Nicolas Jäger]

hi,
there is two version of ring for windows, the one on the store uses the UWP API 
so, it's only avaible on the store. There is no binary for this version on 
https://dl.ring.cx.

The version avaible on https://dl.ring.cx use the win32 api, since your 
computer is 64bit, you can download ring-windows-nightly-x64.exe. Otherwise, if 
your computer was 32bits you should have downloaded rig-windows-nigtlhy.exe.

you can also get the source code for any version of ring and compile by 
yourself. for the UWP, the project is kind new and we are currently working to 
make it compile by anybody easier. So I would suggest to you to use the win32 
version if you really can't use MS app store.

regards,
Nicolas Jäger

Hi,

In case, a windows user blocked the automatic and permanent control of 
Microsoft of a the windows computer, the windows user might not be able to use 
the Microsoft app store and to download Gnu ring from the app store.
Then the windows user can look for the exe files at 
https://dl.ring.cx

Here, he can find for one day and the same minute 4 exe files with similar size 
but different name:
ring-windows-nightly-x64.exe    19-Jan-2017 00:47       31M      
ring-windows-nightly_x86_64-20170119050044~git7c580b1.exe       19-Jan-2017 
00:47       31M      
ring-windows-nightly-20170119050044~git7c580b1.exe      19-Jan-2017 00:47       
30M      
ring-windows-nightly.exe        19-Jan-2017 00:47       30M     

Which one of the 4 files should the windows user use to install Gnu ring on his 
windows 10 x64 computer?
