Features

  • Microsoft Windows Package Manager Package support in Suite/Advanced UI Projects (Premier Edition only) - A comprehensive package manager solution that consists of a command line tool and set of services for installing applications on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Use the Packages explorer of the Organization view to add a Windows Package Manager (WPM) package to a Suite/Advanced UI project.
  • App Updates Check for Suite/Advanced UI Projects - This new feature lets you configure additional settings before building for periodically checking and displaying available updates when an application is deployed on a target machine.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 integration - Added support for creating, editing and building InstallScript projects from Visual Studio 2022.
  • Define Installation Condition for Windows Package Manager Prerequisite - Determine whether a Windows Package Manager (WPM) prerequisite package is already installed on the target machine.
  • Enhanced Setup.exe to Verify Digital Signature - In previous releases, an option was introduced in the Settings.xml file to enforce the digital signature of the MSI matching with the setup.exe setup launcher. In this release, that option has been extended to make sure the digital signature of the MSI has not been tampered with.
  • New Setup Prerequisites are now available - In the Redistributables explorer of the Application Data view, this release introduces the following new setup prerequisites:

  • Handle installers above 2 gigabytes - This release enables LargeAddressAware flag for all setup.exe setup launchers, so that setup.exe setup launchers can handle addresses larger than 2 gigabytes during runtime.
