MSI Installer issues

Tim Peters wrote:
Yes. I don't know what to do about this: the screen sets ALLUSERS=1,
then performs FindRelatedProducts to find the old installation. If the
old installation was per-machine, we only find it if we commit to making
the new installation also per-machine.

Except that in this case, I'm pretty sure my 2.4a1 installation was
also "only for me". I could be wrong about that.


Indeed. Upgrading from a per-user installation is easy, as the whole
process starts with the assumption that it is going to be per-user. Only
per-machine were previously not upgradable.
I believe I later saw a checkin that intended to fix this, and, if so,
that's cool too. I hereby nominate you as MSI-builder For Life
<wink>.


Yes, and thanks :-) Part of my recent talking goes along with the hope
that others become interested enough in MSI as a technology to be able
to contribute, though.

While I have your attention: you have commented that the installer logo
needs attribution, during the installation process. Is this still the
case, and what is the text I should use? Any other attribution that
needs to be made?

A colleague has commented that logo is too low-res, is ugly, and does
not feature reptiles. Should we look for an update to the logo?

Regards,
Martin
