Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet/issues/143

Hello, I downloaded your example project and tried to run it but it hangs in the method RuntimeManager.DiscoverOrDownloadSuitableQtRuntime();

I have a very bad internet connection. Where can I download the minimal SDK or runtime for QT ? Everything I find online is 1GB+..

Thanks

Not sure what the minimum required runtime is, but downloading the runtime with the RuntimeManager is only required once.

Yes but unfortunately after trying 10+ times it just never works. Internet
is very unreliable in the Indian Ocean islands :-(

Is it possible to manually download and install? The method doesnt seem the
most resilient at downloading..

You could do this all manually by having a look at following class:
https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet/blob/develop/src/net/Qml.Net/Runtimes/RuntimeManager.cs

This is essentially what lives under RuntimeManager.DiscoverOrDownloadSuitableQtRuntime();.

That code is responsible for selecting the correct runtime and downloading it from https://github.com/qmlnet/qt-runtimes and putting it in your specific user directory.

I assume that downloading from https://github.com/qmlnet/qt-runtimes will be more practical in your case.

Once you've done that you should be able to just run the application, since RuntimeManager.DiscoverOrDownloadSuitableQtRuntime(); will discover the runtime you manually installed.

If you can, post instructions on how to do that, since for any real deployment the runtime would need to be deployed with the application - due to the issues you mention. I haven't quite figured out where things should go just yet, but having a tool to download the runtimes knowing the location to put them into would help for CI builds.

These are the packages you will need to extract.

I will document this as soon as I can. I am currently in the hospital.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Hope you recover fast (with a small bill).

Where do I put these files once I have downloaded them? Presumably somewhere like user.nuget\ ?

I hope all is well and that you're out now!?
