pragma media type doesn't work as expected

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

the pragma MEDIATYPE does not work as expected.

If the project ist set to "Single Image" and the pragma sets the
mediatype to 5 (Custom for UAC-aware systems), the setup throws a
"decompression error".

If the project ist set to "Custom for UAC-aware systems" and the pragma
sets the mediatype to 1 (Single Image), the pragma ist simply ignored.

How can I use the pragma, to change the media type defined in the project?

Thanks for your answer.

Hmmm, I can reproduce this decompression error issue. Seems to be caused by
a compiler bug.

Item in review. We'll try to fix it in the next build.

The compiler does not set the internal "Custom for UAC-aware systems" bit in
the executable and as a result, the setup.exe does not look for the .BIN
image :-( This will be fixed in the next maintenance build.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hi Friedrich,

could you please send me a version of sb8.exe (or whatever), where this
is fixed?

Thanks
