Hi,

Could you please tweak some of the runtime dialogs to make the prompt controls slightly taller? Text with 'g' characters are noticeably cut-off at 150% scale. The ones I've noticed this on...

Ok, thanks.

Hi,

We've had a customer request that our product (which is installed as a service) run under one of their domain accounts. They can do this themselves right now, but they also need to set various...

Great, thanks. I thought I must be missing something!

Unless a value is present, Registry Keys are not created. This is an issue because we want to grant write permission to a key without having to set 'dummy values' (values will be added to the key...

Yes thanks, that fixes the problem.

Hi,

I'm using the Hybrid mode because we have both 32 and 64-bit versions of our 'server' software. The installer is complex, with a lot of custom dialogs and calls into our dlls for licensing....

Hi,

A couple of issues:

1. If you are running on a 64-bit platform and have disabled x64 mode, including the 32-bit VC++ 2013 runtime script will enable x64 mode (the script for the 64-bit...

Please add support for those controls that are missing it (check boxes, radio buttons, etc). Also ensure that (unless overridden) the default font:size specified in the 'Installer Style' is used.

Hi,

Is there a way to configure the tab order in the VDE? I've had to move some controls and insert new ones, but now the tab order is incorrect. I really don't want to have to re-create from...

Hi Friedrich,

I shall test this, but what concerns me is that something else needs to happen between me deleting the old link and creating a new one (with exactly the same name). The name of the...

Hi Friedrich,

Can you expand on that. I don't see how it helps me.

If I remove <appname>.lnk then I'm just removing the current shortcut, only for SB to add it again.

Would a 'refresh...

Hi Friedrich,

Yes, the standard shortcut is 'per-machine' but it was run often enough to get in the per-user frequently used items list.

The support calls came in because the name of an...

I'm not using the 'Pin to Taskbar'. The program just got there because it was run frequently enough. The trouble is I changed the .exe name, and even if the old exe is removed it still manages to run...

Hi,

I recently had to rename one of our application .exe files. Whilst I replaced the standard 'shortcut', for many users the application had found it's way into the 'frequently used' pin list. :(...

Great thanks.

Hi,

I just tried the new vscroll attribute on text boxes (no hscroll). However, the text does not appear as expected. Instead long lines of text appear as if the hscroll attribute is present...

How about adding a vertical scrollbar? That is more important to me right now than changing the font.

Hi,

I'm using a custom dialog that contains a multi-line text control. I'd like to change the font and have only a vertical scrollbar present. Can I do this?

Many thanks,
Jon.

Great, thanks.

Thanks, that's a handy work-around for now. Would also be nice if right-clicking on a control both selected it and opened the popup menu.

Hi,

Is there any way to control the tab order? I've added a few controls and now the tab order is messed up.

Jon.

Ok. How about a 'Check ODBC Driver' or some such to detect if a particular driver is installed?

Jon.

It would be nice if the 'Redistributable Manager' supported Office 2007 ODBC drivers (AccessDatabaseDriver.exe) and also MDAC.

Jon.

I've got it working now. In fact, it's fine for the IIS exe, it was a service exe that it failed for. This should have been using 'Check Service' anyway, and it's working fine now.
