Download Inno Setup 5.4.2

Jordan Russell Software has released version 5.4.2 of Inno Setup. This program makes it easy to create installation packages for Windows. The program offers the possibility to add information to the registry and ini files, to create shortcuts, and to compress the installation files. Furthermore, an uninstaller can of course also be added and you can choose from different languages ​​during the installation. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Windows 7 change:

• Added new [Icons] section flag: excludefromshowinnewinstall. Prevents a Start menu entry for a newly installed application shortcut from receiving a highlight on Windows 7 (or later). Ignored on earlier Windows versions.

Compiler IDE change:

• Changed shortcut for Edit | Complete Word to Alt+Right (but still recognize Ctrl+Space). Reportedly, Ctrl+Space conflicts with the Chinese IME.

Fixes:

• Inno Setup Preprocessor: #include handling of ‘.\’ and ‘..\’ now treats such filenames as relative to the directory containing the current file, not to the current directory (which is undefined).
• On the 5.4.1 Unicode compiler, trying to build a multi-language installer while running under a DBCS code page could unexpectedly result in “Illegal null character” errors.
• On Unicode, string-type parameters passed to BeforeInstall and AfterInstall functions were being converted to ANSI.
