Here's a list of what the AIOI does in detail:

AIOI

  • The 20xx-0x version number in the .exe file's title refers to the version number of the LDraw Parts Library contained.
  • The AIOI currently “speaks” English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch or French and automatically detects the user's system's language to display messages and screens in that language.
  • Uninstalls an older version of the AIOI on request.
  • Presents you with all the different licenses needed.
  • By default the AIOI installs the LDraw Parts Library with all licenses and color files.
  • Creates a model folder in the user's documents folder.
  • Creates a folder called “Web Links” containing links to the programs which are part of the AIOI.
  • Shortcuts to the web links will also be added to the Start menu.
  • Asked for the folder name in your Windows Start menu and gives you freedom if you want to create shortcuts just for you or for all users.
  • If desired it will create shortcuts on the Desktop for the chosen programs.
  • It will run the POV-Ray installer in case you have chosen to install also POV-Ray.
  • It will set a Windows System Variable for the LDRAWDIR accordingly to the directory you have installed the parts library and the programs.

MLCad

  • If you have installed MLCad the LDraw base path and the user name you have typed in will be written to the registry.
  • If you're running a German, Italian or French OS MLCad will be registered to those language files. For all other OS it will register the default English GUI. (More language can be added in a second time).
  • According to the language file a link to tutorials at www.holly-wood.it will be added too.

LeoCAD

  • If you have installed LeoCAD the path to the model folder and the user name you have typed in will be written to the registry.

LSynth

  • LSynth Constraint Parts are installed in the <LDRAWDIR>\Unofficial\LSynth folder.
  • A MLCad.grp file with an LSynth category in the Parts tree gets copied to the MLCad folder.
  • The path to the constraints is added to the MLCad.ini file.
  • The absolute path to the LSynth bin folder is added to the MLCad.ini file based on the directory chosen in the AIOI.
  • English, German or Italian links to the tutorials at www.holly-wood.it are added to the “Web Links” folder depending on the language of the OS.

LDView

  • The LDraw base path is set in the registry.
  • If the Preference Sets have been selected settings for “Fast” and “Quality” viewing will be added to LDView.
  • If LGEO and LDView have been selected to be installed the LGEO.xml path is also set in the registry.
  • .ldr and .mpd are registered to LDView.
  • Registers LDView as thumbnail generator in your Windows Explorer in case the user has opted for it.

LPub

  • The LDraw base path is set in the registry.
  • The paths to LDView and LDGlite are set if one or both packages have been installed.
  • If both viewers have been installed LDView will be set as preferred viewer.

Sticker Generator

  • Installs a copy of the comdlg32.ocx file in the system folder (..\system32 or ..\sysWOW64) and registers it if the file is missing.

LGEO

  • AIOI looks for the POV-Ray.ini file and if found it adds the \lg and \ar paths as POV-Ray library paths.
  • Looks also for the Pvengine.ini file and if found adds the LGEO paths to the permitted input paths in order to avoid I/O restrictions warnings in POV-Ray.
  • Creates backups for both files prior any modification.

SR3D Builder

  • The LDraw base path is set in the registry.
  • Creates a folder named TParts in the LDraw root directory.

Uninstaller

  • Deletes all registry paths for MLCad, LDView, LeoCAD and LPub.
  • Unregisters .ldr and .mpd.
  • Unregisters LDView as thumbnail generator.
  • Uninstalls all shortcuts created in the Start menu and the Desktop.
  • If folders haven't been erased by the installer itself the leftover content in the LDraw root folder will be deleted at the shut-down of the installer.
