[RESOLVED] Package for reMarkable
Published: November 29, 2024 - 11:22 AM
Good morning,
Here is the package I made for the reMarkable software (software for electronic ink tablets), if it can be of use.
Note: Windows version only, but there is also a macOS version; we just don't need it, but if anyone is interested, I can package it
Note 2: This is a clever piece of software that puts its uninstallation key in the registry of the user who installs it, even if it installs in Program Files, which means that it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs in the Control Panel when you're not logged in as the user who installed it...
