Fixed

  • The installer offered to install Equalizer APO and then did nothing. You
    said yes, no setup window appeared, and FluidEQ opened over the top of it
    without an audio engine. Equalizer APO's installer requires administrator
    permission, and the call FluidEQ used to start it cannot ask for it — it
    failed instantly, and the message saying so went into a pane that one-click
    installers do not show. It now asks properly, so Windows raises the
    permission prompt and APO's setup opens. If permission is declined, FluidEQ
    says so plainly instead of carrying on in silence.
  • FluidEQ could not tell whether Equalizer APO was already installed.
    Installers run as 32-bit programs and Windows quietly redirects their
    registry reads away from where 64-bit software records itself, so the check
    always came back empty. Setup would therefore have re-run APO's installer
    over a perfectly good installation, and uninstalling FluidEQ could never
    offer to remove APO, because it could not find it either.
  • Uninstalling could not remove Equalizer APO even when you asked it to,
    for the same permission reason as the install.
  • The Install Equalizer APO button inside the app was broken the same way.
    It reported success, and no installer ever opened. Both places now ask
    Windows for permission properly.

Changed

  • Setup writes a log. Every decision it makes about Equalizer APO — found
    or not found, offered, declined, started, failed — goes to
    %APPDATA%FluidEQlogsinstall.log, next to the app's own logs. None of
    this was visible before, which is why the problem above survived a release.
  • A build missing its copy of Equalizer APO now says so during setup,
    rather than skipping the step without explanation.
