Release 0.9.8.8

since 0.9.8.8

Purpose

This page names what changed in Setup Foundry 0.9.8.8 compared with the previous release. During the beta every release is installed fresh.

Nothing new in the interface. This release fixes errors when installing programs and when creating the USB stick, removes an old window and makes the main window fit small screens.

Setup Foundry now sets the desktop background only once, during setup. After that you may change it freely on the finished PC; until now the policy kept it fixed. The lock screen stays fixed as before.
The window "Import licence file" no longer exists. A licence is activated through the customer account; a licence file from the e-mail is pasted as a whole into the licence field, as described in the help.
The software list on the medium now includes all programs you ticked, even if they do not appear in any of the profiles.

Programs in msix format, for example 1Password, are set up on the target PC for all users from the supplied software cache, without internet. Until now this failed.
On the installation page, "Refresh" now enables the "Create" button as soon as a USB stick is detected. You no longer have to switch pages for that.
At 1024 x 768 pixels the main window, frame included, fits the work area, the Close button is no longer clipped, the "Windows" card in the overview is no longer cut off on the right, and the About dialog wraps long lines instead of truncating them.

The application reports a new release but does not install it itself. Download and installation remain manual in this release.
The dialog "Licence error" after a chargeback appears only once the licence server sends the reason for the block. Until then a block stays silent until the next start, as before.
Programs delivered as zip or portable, and Windows features, are still set up by Setup Foundry only with an internet connection.
