A package without Epoch specified is considered to have an Epoch of either 0 or -1, depending on some obscure factors. The documentation suggests that Epoch start at 1 and be incremented with ea...
I have a project that stated in an old version of Visual C++, so it uses CComModule. The only problem is that I set up RegOverridePredefKey to install in HKCU if HKCR fails.

I'm using the excellent Innosetup installer and I notice that some Applications (often from Microsoft) get installed with their launch icon already highly visible ('pinned?' ) in the start menu (in Windows 7). Am I totally reliant on the most-recently-used algorithm for my icon to be 'large' in the start menu, or is there a way of promot...
