GrapeVine Voice: Milestone 1 is Coming
This post describes about the changes in GrapeVine M1.
Most Vista changes are not hard to overcome. After some digging, there are only two issues left. One is that Expert Manager cannot delete a registry because of UAC or some other security feature of Vista. And the other is a new naming schema for CBC GrapeVine packages.
For the latter, I have just made up my mind. Every package will have a prefix gv which stands for GrapeVine. In this way, they can be distinguished from older versions.
I would solve the first problem at first then update InDate code to conform to the new naming rules.
I have uploaded another Preview version to GForge here. It is still a Preview, but much better than last one.
Stay tuned.
(Updated: UAC compliant will be achieved easily if a manifest file is used. Inno Setup creates Vista-compatible installers in this way, too. You can use Kenny Kerr’s Manifest View 1.0 to see inside them.)
