Test: Glass Form

[GTX590]

Guys I have a question that has nothing to do with this thread but I really need to know!!

I got an issue with flash animations that should be handled by most versions of CIUs including the latest ones:
CIUv2 v2.0.3.9 U6H2 UltraArcR3
CIUv2 v2.0.3.9 U7 UltraARC R3 (2017-11-01)

Unfortunately nothing solved this issue
When I include a Flash.swf file in the Setup or Background folders, I get this error message.
See attached picture below!

If anyone wants to test it, just download DiRT Showdown conversion done by Yener90. You will find it Conversion Index.
Thanks in advance

Check if this reg entry exists on your PC

Copied from script:

Function IsFlashInstalled:boolean;
begin
  Result:= RegKeyExists(HKCR, 'CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32');
end;

Move your searches on "dwmapi.dll" I use that .... but I think this is the same that you also use.
Were you able to test the stopwatch in Win8, the glass effect is work?

Well I'd say same. win32z is actually win32u.dll, I renamed it so it doesn't affect local programs.

This is what I found.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Ext\PreApproved\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}]

nope wrong location, should be under HKey_Classes_Root, simply install shockwave player.
But regardless having a flash.swf in setup, causes a botva2.dll error, in latest ciuv2.2039.u7, so it wont play either.

I think it's because there is no windows border on CIU anymore, unlike CI. Had problems that while working on ASC video addition, perhaps this could be related.

BTW, Tested and it works, and as I said. The windows border is present.

Installed Fash player, Shockwave player but still getting that error message:-(
As pakrat2k2 mentioned, I should have that reg key under HKey_Classes_Root not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Creating blurry glass forms that work on Win10 is somehow possible using alpha skins.
They have a demo incl. source code (AMegaDemo.zip) on their website which shows
the possibilities:

And since altef_4 showed how to integrate alpha skins into Inno, there could be a way.

Not sure if its still relevant, but it crash under Win7 64bit:

It would crash on Windows 7 because it's trying to access a function that was introduced in Windows 10.

Ah ok, no problem. I only mentioned it because in the first post you said you are mainly interested in Win 7.
