Quite true.

Actually... NOT QUITE...

**MAYBE** the "utCompiledCode record" don't register as an error in normal Inno setup installers (Like the ones we can do with the Inno's Wizard assistent and no much "cosmetics", just simple and plain code), and in fact, there's no "utcompiledcode" word avaliable in Inno Setup manual.

HOWEVER, in several Inno Setup installers, it seems to happen when there's an OLD unins000.exe/dat. Examples for "known" software are WinVista//Seven codecs (Despite I always thought they were MSI-installers ONLY), Spyware Doctor and Any Flv Player 2.2.1, to quote some. Here's a google search. =3

It looks like "peterf" installers aren't the only ones with this error, and unfortunately, the "avaliable" solution for these above was to:
- Delete the "unins000" files
- And re-install in the same folder

Yet, it's "no good" for his custom installers: Unless you know which regkey the autorun reads to his "enable//disable buttons" feature for a manual remotion or try a "Brute-force uninstall" (Like Revo Uninstaller in extensive mode or manual deletion + CCleaner or any another reg cleaner), you'll be UNABLE to re-install it. After all, for these custom installers, the autorun menu IS the setup!

As you noticed in your PREVIOUS post, this is NOT an error with the generated script itself, but with how you did the conversion. Even because the way Inno Setup installers generates their uninstall files are "by design" (The way it works with "peterf" installer is the very same with all and every another Inno Setup installer).

Plus, despite the thanks I gave to peterf for... "his" installers, he never ever explained a bit of the codes, and after he said that "it's not his work", it just make me mad as hell with him and his "closed-source setups".
Everything nice he did for "Several-DVD9-2-Several-DVD5", like these setups, are ONLY with him. So ONLY him can fix the mess, yet he doesn't seem to be fully interested to neither share his knowledge nor that much interested to fix the mess. Yener90, for the other hand... And his scripts are also top-quality!

Due to this, we're all "doomed" to "take the conversion as is, because peterf1999(...)" stands correct. Yes, we're pretty dommed... ¬¬
