InstallScout 1.8.72

About names the anonymous startup call to Aptabase in the EU (eu.aptabase.com). It sends the version and language, not file names or paths. INSTALLSCOUT_USAGE=0 turns the call off.

Detection accepts a different uninstall publisher when the display name is the product name plus a version. WinRAR 6.00 (64-bit) matches even when the file says Alexander Roshal and the key says win.rar GmbH. A short name such as Git still requires the publisher.

What's new

Try in Sandbox can use more of the PC.

• The test can use up to 8 GB of memory when the PC has free RAM, instead of the 4 GB Windows Sandbox ceiling, and it keeps the GPU enabled.
• The window stays responsive while a file is analyzed.
• Steps 1, 2 and 3 sit with their names, and the numbers use a quieter color than the buttons.

InstallScout 1.8.69

What's new

Wrapped installers are unpacked more reliably.

• A wrapped EXE whose payload is a cabinet or 7z archive is unpacked with the bundled 7-Zip, including Microsoft LZX cabinets that Windows cannot expand.
• The inner MSI becomes the silent command.
• Try in Sandbox runs that unpacked installer and keeps the cabinet and DLL files beside it.

• Steps. Files, Check, and Package are grouped, and the numbers are blue. They stay on one line when the window is wide.

• Try in Sandbox sits under the silent command, and stays visible when the button is grey.
• The status says the test is running and that it may take a few minutes.
• Do not start Windows Sandbox manually, or the button stays grey.
• The window stays usable while a file is analyzed.
