MainForm support object has been deprecated in Inno Setup 6.4?

[Paco Calvo]

Hi list,

I've just intalled Inno Setup 6.4.0 and after compiling some scripts that worked fine upto v6.3.3, I'm getting this error:

Unknown identifier 'MainForm'

Has MainForm support object (and its related function GetMainForm) been deprecated in Inno Setup 6.4?

It has disappeared also from Inno Setup documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Paco.

It has been removed totally.

Please always reply on the forum, thanks.

MainForm's documentation used to say: "only visible if WindowVisible is set to yes".

WindowVisible's documentation used to say (for many years now): "Note that this is considered a legacy feature; it likely will be removed at some point in the future."

Additionally, WindowVisible is currently still documented as being obsolete in the "[Setup] section" topic.

Greetings,

Martijn

Hi Martijn,

Thanks for your answer.

After not finding this breaking change in the revision history, nor a previous warning about it being obsolete, I thougt this was an incidence.

Kind regards,

Paco.

Was the removal of MainForm in any release notes or breaking compatibility change updates?   Is there a place where all breaking changes are documented?
