Installing and testing out MaurenLite on Windows XP

Prior to publishing the very first version of MaurenLite, a text editor written in C#, I had set the target framework to .NET Framework 3.5 in order to implement support for Windows XP. This post will demonstrate the process of installing MaurenLite, note that this process works on the successors of Windows XP as well.

In order to proceed to the setup, you must accept the license agreement for each component.

Wait for the files to download, these are required for the installation of the .NET frameworks. Do not interrupt the download/installation process.

Allow it to restart in order for the rest of the components to be downloaded and installed successfully.
Wait until the operating system reboots, it should not take too long.

There is nothing you can do at this point except wait for the rest of the components to install. This may take some time, be patient and do not interrupt the process.

Once you click Install, the application will launch automatically.

MaurenLite is now installed! Notice how next to the Help option from the menu bar, there is a combo box with a list of programming/scripting/markup languages. Some of the options generate code when selected.

That’s all there is to it! I will be updating the application from time to time where I will be committing any necessary changes to the code and design.

MaurenLite can be downloaded via https://mcastedu-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/mandy_farrugia_c10352_mcast_edu_mt/EciaOWqCs_9GnVpEQ6dm0ZABdyiM8vAm0m8EkU3uX4z04g?e=UakkWx
