Install window bug

[KingBes]

There is a major bug, other files in the same directory are deleted when the installation window is closed!

Can you provide the installer code that you used.
The behavior is only designed for uninstaller.

module main

import malisipi.vinstall

#flag windows -mwindows

fn main() {
	vinstall.run(
		app_developer: 'KingBes'
		app_name: 'PHP麻蛋编辑器'
		license_txt: $embed_file('license.txt')
		app_zip: $embed_file('PHP麻蛋编辑器.zip')
		executable_path: 'run.exe'
		desktop_shortcut: true
		uninstaller:$embed_file('uninstaller.exe')
		default_language:'Chinese'
	)!
}

I tested the code and I recognize some problems.

• Files is deleted only if runned uninstaller.exe. Or files is deleted if the files is located on installation location. It's actually not a bug, it's undocumented behavior. If the bug is caused from them, please say it. If the issue caused from that, I may add a option to disable the behavior.
• Shortcuts names will not rendered as correctly. I have not much thing to fix this, Microsoft's API is accepts only ASCII. Maybe I can search another API that supports UTF-8. But you can choose a English name alternative for application name until fixed.

It's a virtual machine record that removed a lot of components including chinese/japanese/emoji fonts removed. So dialogs is not readable. It's not related with Installer.

By this commit 5c717a3, you will be able to protect files/folder that located in installation location. You just need to pass -d dont_delete_install_location_files flag. However using uninstaller is not recommend for this situation. Uninstaller will wipe all files/folder that placed in installation location.

You can use the command for your situation.
v installer.v -d extended_language_support -d dont_delete_install_location_files -o installer.exe
