Works on Windows 8, Version 6.2.9200, fails OS check on Windows 8.1 Version 6.3.9600.

I have an installer that exits if %OSVER% is less than 11 (Vista). It correctly exits if attempt to install on Windows XP, passes and installs fine on Windows Vista, 7 and 10. Haven’t tested on Windows 8 yet, but it is failing the OS check on Windows 8.1. Why would this be?

I have many, many custom actions that check for the existence of the Unique Registry Key entered in Functionality --> Configure uninstaller to prevent one from re-installing a full install of my software it is already installed. There is no global variable for the Unique Registry Key entered in...

I have custom actions that I must replicate for both 32bit and 64bit OS. I can only copy a single custom action at a time. This makes copying dozens of custom actions tedious and it is easy to get something out of order and cause problems. It would be nice to be able to copy a group of custom...

I need to register some .dll and .ocx for a 32-bit application. I can register these fine using Custom Actions in System32 by using the %SYS% Paquet Builder global variable. But on a 64bit OS, System32 contains the 64bit libraries. I need to register these in SYSWow64, but Paquet Builder 3.0.4...
