  • More error control - Ability to ignore errors returned by a delete task
  • New Universal ILoc and Guide for writing own InstallerMaker locations - documentation included tells which resource IDs InstallerMaker already uses so users can pick a unique ID for the new locations

Just choose a destination and a domain from the menu bar and the path to the location will be displayed
