mje Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just wondering, when building an installer, a version number of at least 1.0.0 is enforced. Is this due to various OS requirements, or something NI decided to do? This has caused some issue, since as I've been iterating over the past few release candidates of my software (which have version numbers of 0.7, 0.8, etc), when an installer is created I'm forced to a 1.0 installer version. This means the user can't install the new version over the old one since the installer does version checking to make sure the new version is greater. So manual uninstallation prior to a new install is required. Not a big deal, mind you, but it would seem this could be mitigated by allowing installers to have lower than 1.0 version numbers. I know I've had a few support calls relating to a "broken" installer despite clear instructions to uninstall first... Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I agree - if I can build an exe with a version number <1, then I should be able to do the same with an installer. Quote Link to comment
