Change History

MAKEMSI like most products I work on is a work in progress, it is never "perfect". In any case my perfect is probably different from yours. I do the best available in the time I have and then improve where and when possible, for this reason feedback is very important as it tells me where I may need to concentrate some effort.

Most of the MSIs I build using MAKEMSI are for automatic installation under the system account on a "standard controlled environment". Feedback from other people using MAKEMSI in different ways helps me build a better tool.

Please let me know of any bugs or issues and do not assume that someone else has reported it. I have generally fixed all known bugs/issues. The very fact that you are having a problem means that I probably do not know of it! In rare cases I do get snowed under and forget things, in this case please remind me!

Note that I don't put every little change here but mainly the ones that you may notice or you should be aware of. To see what I might be up to between releases this page is updated online at "https://dennisbareis.com/makemsi-manual/changehistory.htm".

If I have any fixes available between releases these will be available at "https://groups.io/g/makemsi/files/". Note that these may be "experimental" or quick fixes so be sure to backup files so that you can restore things if required.
