Jan 20, 2022
- Fixed a problem in which the "Execute file after extraction" and "Execute file before starting uninstallation" functions of self-extracting executable files failed to execute if either of the following conditions were met.
- If the type of file to be executed requires a specific command line format, such as packages for the Windows Installer (.msi).
