Below is a “sanitized” version of the Install Manager change log leading to the General Release of version 1.1.0.100. This log is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. That being said, not all information relating to a particular build is present on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

• Fixed folder/menu names for SKU ranges in filters

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.75

• Initial support for 64-bit version SKUs; starting with this build, a 32-bit version running on a 64-bit OS should download the 64-bit version SKU during an update

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.76

• Build system tweaks

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.77

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.79

• Fixed Windows 10 and OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) OS reporting; will need to use native APIs for newer values

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.80

• Made adjustments to installer logic to facilitate uninstalling the 32-bit version during install of the 64-bit update
• Work on support for the 32-bit version running on a 64-bit OS, switching to the 64-bit version during an update; handles uninstalling 32-bit version during install of 64-bit version

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.81

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.82

• Made adjustment to bitness display

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.83

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.84

• Build system tweaks

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.85

• Fixed OS X support of the 32-bit version running on a 64-bit OS and automatically switching to the 64-bit version during an update
• Fixed OS X support of uninstalling the 32-bit version during install of the 64-bit version
• OS X 10.6 is (one of) the last versions to support a 32-bit (x86) kernel; detection of bitness has proven unreliable thus far, therefore the 32-bit version is assumed for OS X 10.6 during an update initiated from a 32-bit version; this behavior can be overridden by pressing/holding the [Shift] modifier when the check for an update begins (e.g., initial login, refresh) in order to force a switch to the 64-bit version

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.86

• Build system tweaks

• Fixed labeling of “BETA (64-bit)” desktop shortcut on Windows
• Fixed labeling of “BETA (64-bit)” start menu entries on Windows
• Fixed bitness labeling of uninstaller feedback during an update
• Fixed (cross-bitness) update process execution
• Added the ability to ignore the GUID compare during an update check; hold the [Alt] modifier; provides a means of forcing the update routine (e.g., switch from 32-bit to 64-bit within the same version, re-download/re-install the same version)

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.87

• Build system tweaks; Mac

  • Running with elevated permissions can cause conflicts with accessing folder/files/registry keys
  • The application itself does not (and should not) require elevated permissions to run
  • A helper application requests elevation as required and is limited to necessary operations

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.91

• Added a check for UAC being disabled on Windows before checking for elevated permissions

• When checking for application updates to the 32-bit version on a 64-bit Mac OS, the automatic switch from 32-bit to 64-bit has been removed for 10.7 (Lion) as it is possible to be running the 32-bit kernel; forcing a switch to the 64-bit version on OS X 10.6/10.7 can be accomplished by pressing/holding the [Shift] modifier when the check for an update begins (e.g., initial login, refresh)
• Added 64 to the available bit architectures for Hexagon 2.5, on Windows
