Changes in 5.1.5:

• Pascal Scripting changes/improvements:
• New functions: CustomMessage, FmtMessage.
• The FileExists function no longer strips off any trailing backslash from the specified filename. Previously, FileExists(‘c:filename’) could return True.
• TNewCheckListBox: Add new RequireRadioSelection Boolean property, which defaults to False. The “require a selection on top-level radio button groups” behavior introduced in 5.1.4 is now optional and disabled by default on user-created TNewCheckListBoxes.
• Now handles values ​​with surrounding quotes consistently across all [Setup] and [LangOptions] directive. Previously, only certain directives would strip surrounding quotes; now they all do. If you were relying on the old, inconsistent behavior, it may be necessary to tweak your scripts.
• on [INI] section entries whose filenames include paths, it now checks if the directories exist and creates them if necessary.
• For consistency with regsvr32, FPU exceptions are now masked while registering/unregistering 32-bit DLLs.
• /LOG: When processing a [Files] entry that has the 32bit or 64bit flag, it now logs a message to that effect.
• Added official Finnish translation.
• SetupLdr’s internal data is now stored in a resource instead of in the DOS header. This should address compatibility issues with third-party apps that replace the DOS header.
• Updated zlib library to version 1.2.3.
