VistaGlazz adware?

Since our last release of VistaGlazz 2.2 we’ve noticed that some antivirus vendors are detecting adware in the VistaGlazz setup. We can ensure you this is nothing to worry about if you have downloaded Vistaglazz from a reliable source (e.g. CodeGazer.com or Download.com).

VistaGlazz is freeware and to reduce the costs of hosting and to compensate for the time we put into developing the application we’ve added OpenCandy to our setup. During the VistaGlazz installation you will see an offer, and you can choose whether to install the offer or just ignore it. For more information have a look at their website: http://www.opencandy.com

OpenCandy is consulting anti-virus vendors to stop the false positives from appearing. We are considering removing OpenCandy for now until matters are resolved.

VistaGlazz 2.2

With upcoming Windows 7 service pack 1 we decided to fix some small issues to make it a smooth transfer once service pack 1 is here. We’ve rebuild the setup to make it more compatible with Windows 7.

What’s new in VistaGlazz 2.2?

  • Small UI changes to make the patching process a bit easier to understand
  • Small UI changes to the diagnostic screen (some typos here and there)
  • Compiled the setup with a new version of InnoSetup to offer better Windows 7 support
  • Changes to the patching engine to be able to support Windows 7 SP1 in the near future

Enjoy!

VistaGlazz 2.1

It’s been quite some time since our last update. Holidays, crazy work schedules and moving into a new neighbourhood drained on those precious hours we normally work on our CodeGazer products. After careful testing we finally bring you VistaGlazz 2.1!

What’s new in VistaGlazz 2.1?

  • We’ve cleaned up a lot of the code in our solution, simplified the patching routines. This should result in better stability and prevent those VistaGlazz stopped working messages.
  • We’ve added a commandline utility that should give you the ability to perform most of the patching / unpatching actions without user interface
  • We’ve moved the diagnostic application to a separate executable, decreasing memory usage and making it easier to find
  • We’ve upgraded the setup, added a few .NET framework checks and better Windows 7 support

Enjoy!
