The rediswatcher installer does not allow you to choose a install location about redis HOT 7 CLOSED

We will include path selection in the MSI with the next commit (or we are happy to accept pull requests :)).

Great! For now I found an acceptable work around which is to install the service from the command line like this:

sc create RedisWatcher binPath= e:\services\redis\bin\rediswatcher.exe DisplayName= "Redis Watcher"

from redis.

Nice workaround, selection of install path for redis-watcher is something we plan to check in with the next larget commit we are planning (for now working on few bugs we want to get fixed ASAP).

Please also note that the default 'exepath' (c:\redis\bin) in watcher.conf will not match what the user selected for the redis-server.exe installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\redis).

Is the administrator expected to always manually edit this file during a deployment? Can this property in 'watcher.conf' be automatically set to the correct default value?

Will be available in 2.6.14

We have made the latest versions of Redis available via NuGet and Chocolatey. Unless there is a good reason to do so, we will probably not be supporting a separate MSI installation.

Redis now supports running as a service directly, and monitoring should be done via sentinel, therefore I have eliminated the RedisWatcher project.
