Actual Installer 9.7

Actual Installer version 9.7 was released on January 12, 2024.

What's new:

Added:

Support for PNG format for setup graphic files
Support for subdirectories in <SetupTempDir>
Ability to download files without Downloader.exe using variables - GETFILE
Ability to read a custom line from a file using variables
Ability to set the setup language using a variable <Language>
Option to get the default system language - GetUserDefaultLangID (page Installation / Advanced) - it is recommended to use this option
Option "Hide Password" for the Query Key feature. Added parameters -noshowhidepassword (do not show the "Show/Hide password" button), -serialnumbersonly
Feature "Register App Path" (page Installation / Advanced) - this will register your app's main executable path in the system (the App Paths section in the Registry). This feature makes your program accessible from the command window or the Run dialog box without registering it in the PATH environment variable. Microsoft recommends registering your application in the App Paths registry subkey.

Improved:

Feature "Require Internet Connection"
Feature "Restart Computer" - the default option for the Classic interface - "Yes, restart now". Added a message to save work. Added a parameter -forcerestart
Feature "Register File Association" - added ProgId, Content Type, Perceived Types. Support for multi language text in all fields. Parameters -delext, -noextbackup, -nodeluserext, -nodeluserprefext
If the setup program is not active, it flashes on the taskbar
Classic Interface - Custom Variables and "Check for Updates Before Installation" are executed before the main dialog appears. To execute after, add -varonactivate, -updateonactivate to Setup Parameters
Variables deprecated: <UserName>, <UserCompany>, <UserSerial>
Other little improvements

Fixed:

File Association: if Icon Index is empty, then the File Association is not created
When using the options "Check for Updates Before Installation" and "Use Downloader", Downloader.exe is not included in <SetupTempDir>
Uninstall.exe is not created when using the Select Components feature with Standard Components selected and Additional Files (Link $AddonFiles) is not selected
Other little bugs
