New icon

This release of CAP uses a new icon that I’ve been using personally in recent weeks. This is what it looks like on macOS:

On KDE/Linux:

And on Windows:

If this release replaces an existing installation on macOS or Windows, the new icon should appear instead of the old one automatically. On KDE, you may need to clear the icon cache using the command rm ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache and re-login.

Download Links

Download this release of the CAP input method for your platform with one of the following links.

Installing CAP on Windows 10 (64-bit)

To installing CAP on Windows 10 (64-bit):

1. Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. Note that you must download and install both the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions of the Visual C++ redistributable from that page.

2. Download the file CAPInstallerReleaseNew.msi and follow the instructions for the previous version.

Manual Installation on Windows 10 (64-bit)

Installing and debugging input method editors (IMEs) on Windows can be tricky because there is so much variation in system and library versions and configurations. Sometimes one may find better success by installing CAP manually. Try the following if the installer method above fails.

1. Download and install both the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

2. Download this ZIP file containing the components of the CAP input method. Unzip and move the entire “Sixth Happiness” directory into C:\Program Files. Windows 10 may say “You’ll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file”. Make sure you have permission and that the operation completes successfully.

3. Register both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of CAP.dll manually. Execute the following commands in a command prompt window run as administrator.

  regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Sixth Happiness\CAP\x64\CAP.dll"
  regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Sixth Happiness\CAP\Win32\CAP.dll"

Manual Installation on Windows 10 (32-bit) (experimental)

To install CAP manually on Windows 10 (32-bit), try following the above instructions for manual installation on Windows 10 (64-bit). However, install only the 32-bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package vc_redist.x86.exe and only register the 32-bit CAP.DLL.

Installing CAP on macOS and Linux

Installing of CAP on macOS and Linux is the same as for the previous version. The macOS version has been tested on High Sierra and Mojave. The Linux version has been tested on Kubuntu 18.04.
