Installer takes screenshot with BitBlt API

Post by mwilner »

We have installers build with IA 15X and one customer noticed while doing security scans that the installer is taking screenshots using BitBlt API functions.
My question is, why is the installer core doing this and how can I stop this from happening?

Best regards,

If I have understood you correctly, you are alleging that setups built with InstallAware capture screenshots.
This is unequivocally false, we do not have any such mechanism in our setup engine for any reason.

Your only recourse would be to escalate the matter to VMRay for the resolution of their false positive.

Thank you very much for your kind understanding that we are unable to provide support for the resolution of false positives in third party products!
