DPI awareness of setups build by setupbuilder
Hi Friedrich,
we've recently updated our setupbuilder from 10.0.4929.0 to 10.0.6233.0. Now our quality assurance team complains that the font on a 4K monitor has become much smaller. I suspect this change in version 10 build 5368 to be the cause:
CHANGE : IDE: Add a slightly modified manifest generation method to the compiler to improve support for "DPI-awareness". This affects the generated setup.exe...
How can I change the font so that it appears in the previous size again?
Thanks for your answer.

Hi Markus,
hmmm, good question. Two years ago, on 06-JUL-2016, we added a dpiAware property to the manifest.
Am I allowed to send you a new test "stub loader" (with "disabled" DPI awareness property) to check whether the font appears in the previous size?
Thanks,
Friedrich

Perfect! Thank you, Markus.
We decided to add a new option to the compiler. This lets you enable or disable the DPI-aware property. We'll send you a link to the internal build by the end of this week.
Thanks again!

Hi Markus,
does the following test installer (not code-signed) display fine on your 4K monitor?

We have used an internal SB build with the new #pragma DPIAware set to "false".
