+This folder contains the files required for building the Windows Vulkan
+Runtime Installer Package.
To build the Installer:
- 1. Install Nullsoft Install System version 3.0b1 or greater. (Available from
- http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download.)
-
- 2. Build Vulkan LoaderAndTools as described in ../BUILD.md.
-
- 3. Edit the InstallerRT.nsi file in this folder and modify the following lines
- to match the version of the Windows Vulkan Runtime you wish to build:
- !define VERSION_ABI_MAJOR
- !define VERSION_API_MAJOR
- !define VERSION_MINOR
- !define VERSION_PATCH
- !define VERSION_BUILDNO
-
- 4. Right click on the InstallerRT.nsi file and select "Compile NSIS Script".
- The Windows Vulkan Runtime Installer package file will be created in this
- folder. The name of the installer file is VulkanRT-<version>-Installer.exe.

+ VulkanRT-<version>-Installer.exe.
+
+
+Some notes on the behavior of the Windows Vulkan Runtime Installer:
+
+ o When VulkanRT-<version>-Installer.exe is run on a 64-bit version
+ of Windows, it will install both the 32 and 64 bit versions of
+ the Vulkan runtime. When it is run on a 32-bit version of
+ Windows, it will install the 32 bit version of the Vulkan runtime.
+
+ o The VulkanRT-<version>-Installer.exe created with the above steps
+ can be run in silent mode by using the /S command line option when
+ invoking the installer.
+
+ o The Vulkan Runtime Installer uses "counted" installs. If the
+ same version of the Vulkan Runtime is installed multiple times
+ on a system, the Vulkan Runtime must be uninstalled the same
+ number of times before it is completely removed from the system.
+
+ o If the Vulkan Runtime is already installed on a system and a
+ different version is subsequently installed, both versions will
+ then co-exist on the system. The Vulkan Runtime Installer does
+ not remove prior versions of the Vulkan Runtime when a newer
+ version is installed.
+
+ o The Vulkan Runtime Installer installs the Vulkan loader as
+ C:\Windows\System32\vulkan-<version>.dll. It then compares all
+ versions of the loader in C:\Windows\System32 that have the
+ same VERSION_ABI_MAJOR as the version being installed. It selects
+ the most recent one of these loader files and copies it to
+ C:\Windows\System32\vulkan-<VERSION_ABI_MAJOR>.dll. For example,
+ during the install of Vulkan Runtime version 2.0.1.1, the
+ following files might be present in C:\Windows\System32:
+
+ vulkan-1-1-0-2-3.dll
+ vulkan-1-2-0-1-0.dll
+ vulkan-1-2-0-1-1.dll
+
+ [Note that the first "1" in the above files is VERSION_ABI_MAJOR.
+ The other numbers identify the release version.] The installer
+ will copy the most recent one of these files (in this case
+ vulkan-1-2-0-1-1.dll) to vulkan-1.dll. This is repeated for
+ C:\Windows\SYSWOW64 on 64-bit Windows systems to set up the
+ 32-bit loader.
