Hello Friedrich and all others,
In my SB-Script I have set the variable [ProductName] to "KiK5" (no doublequotes)
Now I see, that - whoever it did and for what reason at all - "KiK5" turned to KiK 5".
I noticed that after testing my recent installer / updater. The installer did
install well, because I did not notice the change. But when I tried the updater
on an older install, I got an error. Which was correct.
The old program was installed in "C:\KiK5", while the the updater wrote into "C:\KiK 5".
The reason is understandable, because the program path is defined like
%INSTALLDIR%\[ProduktName]in "Apps & Features"
And because [ProductName] has been changed by a moron, the program paths now differ.
What else do I have to check for / have to be aware?
I have not defined a shortcut or program group. What I see is that the option
to uninstall in "Apps & Features" (Win10).
Final question: Does it hurt if I distribute the newly made installer with the
new [ProductName] "KiK 5", but with
%INSTALLDIR%\KiK5 instead of %INSTALLDIR%\[ProductName],
or should I better revert to the original productname?
Regards,
Wolfgang Orth
