Group Policy improvement requests
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 10:08 am
The Group Policy dialog seems like an afterthought. My suggestions for improvement are, from least effort to most:
- remember the last-used EXE and MSI filename for the project
- have a checkbox to indicate that I want it automatically be generated after a (compressed) build
or, much better:
- make MSI a type of build target. For a Windows Installer tool, it's seems odd that this isn't an option, regardless of the inner MSI.
Also, there are some bugs that are likely just some oversights:
- the outer MSI file is not signed by Authenticode
- apply the UAC Elevation setting to the outer MSI file (e.g. asInvoker)
