Download Inno Setup 5.2.0

Jordan Russell Software released version 5.2.0 of Inno Setup the day before yesterday. This program makes it easy to create installation packages for Windows. The program provides the ability to add information to the registry and ini files, create shortcuts and compress the installation files. Furthermore, an uninstaller can of course also be added and several languages ​​can be selected during installation. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Changes in version 5.2.0:

• On Windows Vista, [Run] section entries with the postinstall flag no longer inherit Setup’s elevated privileges by default, and instead now execute with the (normally non-elevated) credentials of the user that started Setup initially. (There are some exceptions; see the runasoriginaluser flag documentation for details.)
• Added new [Run] section flags: runascurrentuser and runasoriginaluser. These control which user credentials are used on Windows Vista when spawning processes. (runasoriginaluser is the default when the postinstall flag is used; runascurrentuser is the default otherwise.)
• Improved compression of x86 executable files. (This reduces the size of Inno Setup’s own installer by approximately 10 KB.)
• Added new [Files] section parameter: ExternalSize.
• Added new constant: {log}. Translates to the log file name, or an empty string if logging is not enabled.
• Added new [Files] and [Dirs] sections flags: setntfscompression and unsetntfscompression. These flags instruct Setup to enable or disable NTFS compression on the file or directory.
• Pascal Scripting:
  • Added new ExecAsOriginalUser, ShellExecAsOriginalUser, and SetNTFSCompression support functions.
  • Now supports new DLL loading flag loadwithhalteredsearchpath to load DLLs with the Windows flag LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH.
• The Setup loader now uses the original Setup EXE filename + .tmp as the filename for the extracted Setup executable instead of a name comprised of random letters and numbers, which may have seemed suspicious to firewall users.
• In a multilingual installation, Setup now waits until after the Select Language dialog is shown to display any error messages concerning the user’s Windows version or privilege level.
• Fix: On Windows Vista, AutoPlay wasn’t being suppressed when the user swapped out discs in a disk-spanned install.
• Fix: When the waituntilidle flag was used in the [UninstallRun] section, it behaved like waituntilterminated.
• Based on RemObjects Pascal Script SVN code revision 1045a.
• The uninstall program’s version is now 51.48.0.0.
