Install4j

Install4j is a powerful multi-platform Java installer builder that generates native installers and application launchers for Java applications.

New

• Windows: Create file associations for the current user if no elevated privileges are available

API Changes

• Added Util#loadNativeFromResources for loading a native library from the resource directory with the script classloader

Fixed

• "Install files" action: The response file .install4j/response.varfile was not rolled back
• "Uninstall previous installation" action: Custom code jars were not deleted under some circumstances
• "Download file" action: Error handling properties were not used for the MD5 file download
• "Execute SQL script" action: Remove semicolon line delimiter when executing statements
• "Execute SQL script" action: Using a line break (n) as the delimiter did not work
• "Execute SQL script" action: Multiple delimited statements per line did not work
• "Uninstall previous installation" action: Keep the response file when uninstalling for an upgrade
• Classpath wildcards did not work if an archive was located in a non-default file set
• For archives where links were used in custom installer applications, the shrinking of the runtime library did not take the links into account, potentially breaking the custom installer application
• File options: The "Keep original file modification times" did not work for JAR files packed with Pack200
• Windows icons generated by cross-platform icon images did not include the 256x256 size required for showing large icons in the explorer
• Windows launchers: Fixed an error detecting the Java version when GetShortPathName does not work
• Windows uninstaller: prevent DLL loading from PATH
