Installer Icon not shown in task bar

Postby vaibhavopkey » Thu Mar 27, 2025 12:40 pm

When I run my installer after the InstallAware wizard:

1) It does not appear in the taskbar.
2) It does not elevate to the top; I have to hover over all my apps to find the installer.
3) It takes too much time to load after the InstallAware wizard.

To test the third scenario, include a file of around 900MB in your installer.

Even my company use previous version Installaware ,it's load fast .

Can you please clarify what you mean by running your installer after the InstallAware Wizard?

Which version, and edition of InstallAware are you using?

Which previous version of InstallAware was this not an issue for?

Also it might be great to see a video of what you mean - thank you!

Great, could you please also upload the built binary somewhere?

Edit: It'd also be great to try setting the ShowInTaskBar property of your setup wizard forms to stAlways and see if that helps.

My hunch for the launch delay is anti-virus interference (hence the request for the binary).

Edit 2: It'd also be interesting to see how this compares with building setup in Uncompressed mode and running that directly. This would skip the initial extraction phase completely, and if there's no launch delays etc. in that scenario; you can be sure it's an anti-virus to blame (scanning the recently extracted payload).
