Subject[Csnd-dev] Status of WIndows installer for x64
I have now got the installer building and running, and am beginning to
test features.

I found a truly annoying problem with the Chromium Embedded Framework
that CsoundQt uses for HTML5 support. It seems that this framework now
requires some proprietary DLLs from WideVine that are used to manage
digitally signed content in the Chrome browser. Without the DLLs,
CsoundQt won't run, but we can't legally redistribute the DLLs. In
theory I can get it to work by installing a version of Chrome for x64
on my computer of the same version as CEF, but I have not been able to
get that to work.

Unless somebody knows of a solution or workaround that is easy on the
users, I am going to disribute CsoundQt for Windows x64 without HTML5
support.

I will, however, include in the installer NW.js with csound.node. This
is basically as functional as HTML5 in CsoundQt.

Regards,
Mike
