Hi, I'm in the process of modernizing my application's installation procedure and I'm wondering if there is any official and up-to-date documentation about best practices for installers on recent versions of Windows ? For example, it looks like "My Documents" should never be used to place sample per-user data (as it is sometimes disabled by system administrators) but replaced by "AppData\Roaming". But do I still need administrator's privileges to install the application in "Program Files" or is it not considered best practice anymore ? I admit that I created the installer a long time ago (Windows XP era) and didn't proceed to any major update since then. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, John.

Now added to Quality Portal that you cannot Notarize a Delphi MacOSX app. I found there is actually another problem too. Please vote for it: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-23368

Eh... I completely forgot you can turn that off

Instead of Projects: TArray<TProject> use a list class: type TProjectList = class(TList<TProject>) end; Add public methods to the class that implement your current for loops. This way you have all this code centralized in one place, which should massively simplify the maintenance. And while you're at it: convert the record into a class. Lists of records are a bit inefficient since accessing the items in the list involves a lot of copying of data. You can then use a TObjectlist<TProject> as base class for your TProjectlist and let the list manage the memory of the TProject objects you add to it (OwnsObjects parameter for the list constructor set to true, which is the default).

I love how responsive TMS are as a company, but I wish they did more regression tests on the TAdvStringGrid.
