What’s New in UniPlot 5.3.4

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.3.4 since version 5.3.3.

Simplified Installation

The UniPlot 5.3.3 setup program invoked the Microsoft setup program vcredist_x86.exe. This setup program caused trouble on some computers. On problem was that the Microsoft Installers 3.0 had to be installed.

If UniPlot was used in a network the vcredist_x86.exe setup program had to be installed on every client computer. To do so administrator rights were necessary.

In UniPlot 5.3.4 the standard Microsoft-C-Runtime-DLLs are no longer used.

UniPlot 5.3.4 does not need access to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key in the system registry any longer. Normal user do not have write access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. All settings can be saved in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key which normally can be accessed with write permission without administrator rights. This makes a so called XCOPY installation possible. Simply copy the complete UniPlot folder to a new location and start uniplot.exe. When UniPlot is started from the new location three UniPlot Icons (in the Start menu, on the Desktop and in the Quick Launch menu bar) are created and all the necessary registy settings are saved in the system registry. You can find all keys created in the registry in the script\post-install.ic file.
