Worked on the HPCC-Platform repository to enhance the reliability and user experience of Windows client tools installation and uninstallation. Focused on build system configuration and installer development using C++ and CMake, addressing two targeted bugs. Updated the NSIS uninstaller script to ensure accurate detection and removal of the ECL Command Prompt shortcut, reducing residual artifacts and post-uninstall issues. Improved the installation process by adding silent install flags to vc_redist.exe, preventing forced reboots and minimizing user disruption. These changes strengthened deployment stability and maintainability, reducing support incidents and contributing to a more robust client tools lifecycle within HPCC-Platform.
April 2025: Focused on stabilizing the client tools installation experience for HPCC-Platform. Delivered a targeted bug fix to prevent forced reboots during installation by adding /quiet and /norestart flags to vc_redist.exe, enabling silent installs and avoiding automatic restarts. This change reduces installation-related downtime and support incidents across environments. Commit reference: 221c82d716c8acd016b409e3f8c20e84b70a74a1 (HPCC-33711).
