Hi Ross,
thanks for the info. I effectively have the same setup now, but
didn't know about this feature in Inno - and my copy of Inno is quite
old anyway.
However, I still have the problem of updates. I have already
encountered the problem of a Vista user already trying to update, and
Windows not overwriting the original program but putting the update
in a new, "virtual folder" or some such thing. When they go to run
it again it is back to the old version. I must admit it drove me
nuts and cost me a huge amount of time and effort to figure out what
was going on here.
Do you know if the new Inno is sufficiently Vista-aware to allow
Windows to do what it needs to allow me to update an existing
executable? I release an update to my program at least once a month
as I expand the capabilities. At present I have told all my users if
they go to Vista they're on their own - but I recognise I can't
maintain this stance for too much longer.
Cheers,
Chris.
