Using Ampersand (&) in Product Name
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2021 1:09 pm
Dear community!
ActualInstaller Version: 8.3 Pro+
Has anybody run into the situation where the Product Name, Product Description or Company Name contains ampersands (&)?
appearantly those are interpreted as an indicator to underline the next character once the installer programm is started. (see attached screenshot)
In this case i entered
Product Name: A&B
Product Version: 0.2
Product Description: Operating Software for A&B
Company Name: A&B
I realized that when i put double ampersand (&&) then the display of the text works as intended, but using the variable will also put double ampersand whenever its used for folders ect., and also double ampersands will be in the titles of windows (Uninstaller, Dialog for visiting the website after installation...), which I have not found out how to change.
Any suggestions on how this can be resolved would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
Chris
