Version 1.3h: ------------- * NEW: You can now install icons in several folders of the Start menu for each file. Just separate the different folder names by semi-colons in the Folder edit box in the Start menu tab. E.g. "MyProduct;#Startup#" will install 2 icons, the first one in the Programs\MyProduct folder, and the second one in the Startup folder. * NEW: a new option "Keep external" in the Advanced options tab allows you to keep your files outside of the install program. * NEW: in the Uninstall tab there is a new "Additional files to remove" option. Example: if you enter "*.tmp;*.ini" in this box, the uninstall program will remove all the .tmp and .ini files from the install directory. "*.xxx" and "*.*" are the only syntax allowed. If you enter "*.*", all the files will be removed. Note that the files are removed without warning message. * NEW: you can now change the "Next" button in the Information page. * NEW: the "You must Restart Windows" message is now displayed in a separated message box. * NEW: "Force Restart Windows" option. In the "End" page of the "Wizard text" page, a new text allows you to force the install program to display the "You must Restart Windows" message box when the installation is completed. * NEW: uninstallation of registry keys: you can now uninstall sub-key values without removing the key. Just separate the value with 2 '\' characters. E.g. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Company\Product\Settings\\window will remove the value "window" from the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Company\Product\Settings. * FIX: problem in 16 bit install programs created with version 1.3g. * FIX: crash when testing the interface with several versions. * FIX: floppy disks - problem when the install program prompts for the disk 2 and you click cancel. * FIX: floppy disks - possible problem when you run a 16 bit install program from floppy disks under Windows 95. Version 1.3e: ------------- * NEW: new option in the Advanced Options page: "Do not install, but create directory". Use this option if you want the install program to create empty directories: create an empty file in this directory, select this new option for this file. * NEW: ability to choose the color of the background title, with the Font selector. * NEW: ability to insert line feed characters ('\n') in the background title. * FIX: some sub-directories were not uninstalled by the uninstaller. * FIX: when you test the interface of the install program with the Test button, and click the Browse button to select a file which contains a registration code, this file was deleted.
