Hiding Uninstall.log

I understand, your explanation is quite logical. Thank you for your effort Friedrich, I hope there is something we can do about it. I will wait for your 'hopefully' positive answer.

I'll get back to you within the next 48 hours. I'll have to read some old Windows 95/98 development guidelines...

I am not 100% sure, but I think I found a solution. I have to make some compiler modifications and do more regression tests. I'll report back within the next 24 hours.

Thank you very much!

Still working on it... not a trivial change.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm waiting for good news with patience. Cheers

Hi Friedrich, I just want to ask if there is any progress about the last issue? Cheers

It's still not working as expected because the solution is not "upward" compatible. But we are still working on it... The next build is scheduled for Friday, November 24th, so time is working against us. I'll keep you posted.

BTW, with regard to the original hide uninstall question: see attached screenshot. This solution to install the uninstall .log/.exe in another folder works fine, but might cause problems when updating the Add/Remove Program Panel. Reason is that is recommended to install the uninstall .log/.exe in the main application folder. But you can test it.

I'll send you a small test.exe compiled with the new SB compiler on Monday. What ID are you using in your VERSIONINFO_LANGID line?

Thank you for your effort, and information. No worries, I'm not in hurry about the language issue. All we need is a stable result, and it's understandable that it requires time.

I will check more about the Uninstaller.log file location issue, and write the results soon. But could you please give me more detail about your statement, "might cause problems when updating the Add/Remove Program Panel"?

Please feel free to compile your test.exe with any ID except English (USA). Cheers
