Stripping down the installation script???

[WildPenquin]

Hi,

I think the installation script (and most docker images I've seen, since they probably just copy what others do) does a few unnecessary steps.

At least installing corefonts takes a long time. I installed the server manually at first and ran it without installing corefonts, and didn't notice any problems whatsoever. Also installing vcrun2022 seems unnecessary.

So I'm just starting this thread to ask, if these steps are needed in some niche cases, or perhaps were required before?

The server is running without any GUI, so I don't see why it would require corefonts.

The install script is also setting with winetricks sound=disabled, and setting version to win10, but these don't take that much time but the server ran just fine without. But they might make sense as a sanity check, though.

Is WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mscoree=d" required?

I mean I don't want to outright remove them (and to each to their own...), but if there is no reason to have them in the installserver.sh, then they just make the installation slower and consume space. Not that they do any more harm than that, either.

Actually... as writing this and looking at the InstallServer.sh, it seems like it creates winetricks.sh, downloads winetricks, but never actually runs the script?!??

But these questions still stand for the various docker images out there.

Cheers!
