HOW TO INSTALL A FONT WITH VISUAL
INSTALLER
 Sometimes
the fonts that are included in Windows are not enough, and
you need to distribute your own font(s) with your software.
But before they can be used in another computer, they must
be installed in the right system folder and registered in
the system.
Luckily Visual Installer supports installation and registration
of fonts. So it is easy to add a font to your installation
and have it installed and registered in another computer.
In this tip we will show how to add a font file to an installation
project and how to make sure it will be registered in the
system during the installation:

HOW TO CHECK THAT A FILE IS DUAL
CODE SIGNED
Nowadays it is strongly recommended to dual code sign a
setup package so both a SHA-1 and a SHA-2 code signing certificate
are used. In this blog post we explain why:
Visual
Installer now supports SHA-2 and dual code signing
But how can you check that a setup package is successfully
dual code signed? You will find the answer in this blog

USING WILDCARD CHARACTERS IN A
FILE PATH
 If
the filenames of the files on a CD, DVD or USB stick need
to be changed after the first creation of the menu interface,
the whole menu need normally be re-created. But starting
with version 8.5.3 of CD-Menu Creator, another method is
available. Instead of specifying an exact filename, you
can use a wildcard character (an asterisk) and only specify
the filename extension of the filename (for example:
*.doc). Then the filename of the file in the folder
can be set freely; you just need to keep the same filename
extension.
We will explain more in this blog post:
