War Setup is an application to make .msi software installation packages. It uses the free Wix toolset from Microsoft to build the .msi files.

- Fixed bug in System Folders (Target Directories). They should now work all right. - Added LicencePath to the Project options. - Added LaunchAppText to the Interface options.
Version 3.12 Friday February 6th 2009 - Support for font-installation from WarSetup was broken with the December 2008 release of WiX 3 Beta. Fixed. - Added support for most of the built-in folders supported by Windows Installer, including the infamous system32 ([SystemFolder]). - Added drop-down list in properties for target-directories. This simplifies the use of these properties a lot. - Added shortcutInStartupFolder property on files, to support auto-launch when the user signs in to Windows.
- Added Open Recent Projects menu. (This is not supported directly by VS 2005 believe it or not!). - Code Cleanup [internally in War Sertup]: Moved the code-generation and compiler-stuff out of MainFrame and into the project class where it belong. - Moved the Build-command from a button on the first tab to the toolbar. - Added multitreading. Compilation is now performed in a separate thread. That makes the progran look nicer during compilation. This feature can be disabled from the Tools / Options menu. - Compilation is now performed at a lower thread-priority. Windows have a problem when several programs compete for CPU-time at the same priority-level. As a result, most of the CPU is wasted switching between the competitors. By lowering the priority, both the compilation and other tasks should as a result run faster. And the machine will be more responsive for your other work. This feature can be disabled from the Tools / Options menu. - Added support for the AdvertiseExecuteSequence table. - Added feature for Uninstall from Program Files (patch from user). - Added menu: Tools/Run Target. - Added menu Tools/Open Target Directory.
Todays release is mailny for convenience. The code is cleaned up a bit, the interface looks better when War Setup is working, and I've added som econvenience-features. I've also included a patch from exavolt to alow an Uninstall item on the Program Files menu. I've not had time to include all of the new features yet. Expect a new reease next week. as well :)
New version. New features, bugfixes and compatibility with the December 2008 release of WIX.
