– Visual Installer can now register a .NET assembly and add a COM object interface to the assembly, so it can be accessed from unmanaged (native) applications. Read more.
– A new script command with the name MSIEXEC has been added. It can be used to start an MSI installation from Visual installer. Read more.
– A new script command with the name EXIT has been added. It can be used to cancel an installation, for example if some conditions or system requirements are not met.

– A new condition has been included in the scripting language that can be used to check if the operating system is 32 bit or 64 bit. Read more.
– Support for Autodesk AutoCAD 2014.
– The OpenSSL library that is used by the Twitter function in Visual Installer has been updated to use the latest version of OpenSSL (version 1.0.1g) which contains a bug fix for the Heartbleed bug. If you use the Twitter function in Visual Installer we recommend you to install the update.
