ZeroInstall.Client

Client library for invoking Zero Install commands from within other applications.

Zero Install is a decentralized cross-platform software installation system.

Use ZeroInstallClient.Detect to automatically discover the locations of the 0install and/or 0install-win executables. This gives you an instance of IZeroInstallClient, which enables easy programmatic access to a subset of the Zero Install command-line interface.

Samples

Detect 0install location and the feed URI used to launch the app:

var zeroInstall = ZeroInstallClient.Detect;
var feedUri = ZeroInstallEnvironment.FeedUri ?? new FeedUri("https://example.com/your-feed.xml");

Download updates if available:

if (await zeroInstall.UpdateAsync(feedUri))
    NotifyUpdateAvailable();

Restart the app to run the latest version:

zeroInstall.Run(feedUri);
Environment.Exit(0);

Toggle the app's auto start desktop integration:

bool isAutoStartEnabled = zeroInstall.GetIntegration(feedUri).Contains(IntegrationCategories.AutoStart);
if (isAutoStartEnabled)
    await zeroInstall.IntegrateAsync(feedUri, remove: new[] {IntegrationCategories.AutoStart});
else
    await zeroInstall.IntegrateAsync(feedUri, add: new[] {IntegrationCategories.AutoStart});

Error handling

The client library maps 0install's exit codes to exceptions. Your code should be ready to catch:

  • IOException: 0install could not be launched or there was a problem accessing the filesystem.
  • WebException: There was a problem downloading a file.
  • OperationCanceledException: The user canceled the operation.
  • NanoByte.Common.ExitCodeException: Any other kind of error.
