the bootstrapper now handles starting the service. This makes sure the sdk is setup before it starts.

bootstrapper is self contained, the msi is an embedded resource and all referenced assemblies are ILMerged

repository file is hosed on the droid explorer google code site, it is based on the same one that google uses for the android sdk setup

the tools are also hosted on the google code site, this is so the download size is smaller, since all unused bits are removed.

added ability to save debug output to a file

moved debug window filter buttons to the right

Change log 0.7.3.0

app.manifest added to projects. requestedExecutionLevel = requireAdministrator. This means in Vista/Win7 it will prompt w/ UAC. I can not get around this at this time.

this is because in order for the service to use the same settings as the application, i need to save them in the install directory.

The sdk tools, if downloaded, is no longer stored in the user directory, it is stored in the install directory, see above for the reason.

Known devices moved back to HKLM for the same reasons above.

New Options form added.

Device manager now part of options dialog

plugins can now reside in any directory as long as it is added to the plugins settings

plugins can now be enabled or disabled from the options dialog

Service is now working because of the requireAdministrator change.

DroidExplorer.Runner added - a tool that can execute a plugin; usage: DroidExplorer.Runner.exe /type=Full.Plugin.Class.Name,Plugin.Assembly.Nam/any /additional /args

if the type argument is not specified, then it will display a plugin selection dialog.

Installer plugin. This is launched by the runner when an APK file is opened in Explorer.

Registry settings to register .apk files to open with DroidExplorer.Runner /Installer (create with MSI installer)

.apk files can be installed by double clicking them or by right clicking and selecting "Install"

.apk files can be uninstalled by right clicking and selecting "Uninstall"

the initial device selection dialog is only required if more then 1 device is connected.

If you have set up to use the SDK tools by downloading the tools and put them in your user application data directory, when launched, it will prompt you to re-setup the tools. They are not stored in the user directory because the Service can not access that directory.

Just realized the bug with the device name not showing in the titlebar/addressbar. This is already fixed and will be in the next release.
