Program Compatibility Assistant problem

[amiradar]

Hi!
I've built an installation for a Windows 7 application.
When I chose to test the installation (at the end of the build) it went well.
When I ran the installation (from the exe file) I got the warning that this program may not have installed correctly.
The "Show in Program and features" checkbox is checked.
Please advise,
Amir

Hello Amir,

Is this setup the update program or the main installation?

If update then it is normal behaviour.

Hi Leo,
This happens when I install the program. I did not include an option to upgrade it, so first the previous version is uninstalled, and then the newer version is installed, terminating with this warning.
When running the installer on a clean PC (in which there is no previous version of the app), the warning is not at the end.

Hello, I'm getting this same problem.
I have selected 'Allow Multiple Installations.'
When I run 'uninstall.exe' on my software then run the installer, it pops up this assistant every time.
It's very annoying, and I can't have my customers see this thing as it gives strong signals towards a 'dangerous' product.
How do I stop this thing popping up?
Thanks,
Great product BTW!
