VISUAL INSTALLER SUPPORTS
VISUAL C#
For many years
Visual Installer have had built-in functionality to
create an installation for a Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual
Basic .NET application. In the latest version of Visual
Installer we have added the same functionality for
Visual C#. You can now create an installation for a
Visual C# application in an easy way. Read more:

Installer 2020: Visual C# is now supported

HOW TO HANDLE MENU INTERFACES
WITH MANY BUTTONS
 With
the
CD-Menu Creator menu designer tool you can create a
graphical menu interface that contains more than 40
buttons in one menu window. This allows your customer to
open many documents, applications or sub menus from the
same menu page, but sometimes it can be difficult to
make all buttons fit in one menu window in a proper way.
Luckily there are some tricks that you can use.

USB MENU
CREATOR 2020 - AUTORUN MENUS FOR USB STICKS
 With
USB Menu Creator you can create AutoRun menu interfaces
for USB flash drives. The menus will open automatically
when the USB stick is plugged into the computer's USB port.
From a menu users can run programs, open documents, play
videos etc.
USB Menu Creator is a special bundle that contains
the following 3 products: CD-Menu Creator, USB AutoRun Creator
and Image Resizer.

CHANGE PERMISSIONS FOR FOLDERS
 Sometimes
it is necessary to change for example read/write
permissions for folders on the hard drive. In Visual
Installer it is possible by using a script command
(SETPERM) in Visual Installers
scripting language. You can read more in these two
blog posts:
How
to give a standard user write permission to a folder
Does
SETPERM change folder permissions also for sub folders?

REFRESH VISUAL INSTALLER´S FILE LIST AUTOMATICALLY
 You
may already know that if you press the F5 key on
your keyboard (or choose the List – Refresh List
menu item in Visual Installer’s editor) the contents of
the file list (in the editor’s File List tab) is
refreshed.
When a file list is refreshed, file dates and size
information etc. is updated. If a file is missing at a
source file path, you will be informed about that.
But is also possible to automate this process, so the
file list is refreshed automatically when a project is
opened in Visual Installer. We will explain more in this
blog post:
Visual
Installer’s file list can be refreshed automatically
