Raylux 0.24.6: client installers on the gateway's Downloads page
The gateway's Downloads page works. It never had before. Studio and Lens are handed out as their own setup programs from the gateway's Downloads page. Each installs one application, chains the Visual C++ runtime, and leaves a Start-menu and uninstall entry.

The gateway's Downloads page works. It never had before.
Client installers
Studio and Lens are handed out as their own setup programs from the gateway's Downloads page. Each installs one application, chains the Visual C++ runtime, and leaves a Start-menu and uninstall entry.
They cannot simply be the main installer with fewer options selected: the gateway cannot be deselected there, so an engineer downloading "Studio" would acquire a Windows service.
The gateway installer now ships them, so a fresh install has a populated page. It can be cleared at install time — it is the largest single item in the package, and a site whose engineers already have Studio need not hand it out.
Why the page was empty everywhere: it is served from the data directory, which the installer deliberately never writes to so that an uninstall preserves projects, history and certificates. The only thing that had ever populated it was a script run on a build machine.
Fixes
- The project templates still had not shipped in any installer.
- The setup wizard looked identical for all three products — installing Studio drew the same window as installing the gateway. Each now carries its own mark.
- The installer could have wrapped the wrong package, because the new client packages matched the pattern it used to find the gateway.
