Re: When will WWT leave "Beta" status?

jameswatson3:

I am in charge of distributing software at my organization and the installation process for WWT is a bit of a kluge frankly. Even though an MSI installer exists, the DirectX portion of the install is invoked as a custom action outside of the windows installer engine and therefore fails when running without administrator rights.

I noticed that when the app is installed, it reports its version on the initial splash screen as "Spring Beta." Is there a timetable for moving this product out of beta status? I am hopeful that the installation process will be cleaned up when this happens. Does anyone know if this is scheduled to occur?

Hi jameswatson3,

As far as I know, there is no official date for exiting the 'beta' version.

Thank you,

Chuck

Later this year, or sometime next year.

When will WWT leave "Beta" status?
