I can understand testing and what not but this is the first release in Many Years that didn’t have a MSI Released at the same time as an EXE release.
And Large Institution?
Sorry should have elaborated I manage Several Clients that total over 10K systems, not a single client.
I can wait for the next release to be released with a MSI Installer unless We run into and CVE that need patching.
Then it will be fun to remove the MSI Everywhere and install the exe.
And by Fun i mean none at all.
That being said i still stand by the comment about the Packaging team Missing an upload or the MSI Failed and got busy with Nightly msi builds and forgot about little old 3.0.21 version.
VLC 3.0.21 will not be released as MSI nor with automatic updates due to regressions.With that being said, I don’t think large institutional installations should be relying on the volunteer team for releases, especially not timely releases.
VLC Releases have always been Timely in the past no reason why they wouldn’t be so now or in the future.
7zip is a single guy as are various other pieces of software used both privately and in the Business and Education Sectors.
No reason to put down the VLC Team for what is most likely a simple missed upload or failed build.
