New windows package gets around incorrect labeling as malware

Avast anti virus was incorrectly flagging the Windows installer as malware. I repackaged a new version (MercTacticsDemoSetupBeta1.1a.exe). This is the exact same package as the previous version, however Avast no longer flags it as malware.

yup, it works.

Thanks!

FYI - both, new and old uninstaller do not clean "%AppData%\MercTactics" directory on Win10.
Not sure if it is intentional, but may break future installation of 1.2...

Of course not, that would delete all the old game saves

well, it should at least give an option...

I'm sorry to say that, but I feel myself an oracle now, cuz loading those old saves from 1.1 in 1.2 causes an error:

My previous game settings, like "windowed mode" ignored. Not sure if any other back compatibilities broken by that old AppData...

That is a bug. The new version was meant to be able to read the old settings

>  Not sure if any other back compatibilities broken by that old AppData

Don't worry about it, everything should be fine ;)

1.2 breaks compatibility of old games, but that does not always happen when we release a new version. When you create a new campaign, all these old game saves are deleted
