RayQC Advanced 8.0 での更新項目

機能

• New Rule to Check Presence of VBS in Installable Packages
  • Added a new rule to help ensure compatibility with newer versions of Windows 11. This rule checks whether a package contains VBS (Visual Basic Script) files, providing an early warning for any potential issues before upgrading or deploying to environments running newer Windows 11 editions.
• Package Contents View with Filtering and Search
  • Added feature to provide users with a comprehensive view of all extracted package contents, enabling detailed inspection and search capabilities across multiple packages and tables.
  • The "Package Contents" screen serves a dual purpose: allowing both single and multiple package views. The screen is equipped with advanced filtering, searching, and grouping functionalities, making it easy to inspect package details such as registry keys, files, and other extracted data.
• Import of Legacy Setups with Windows Sandbox (requires RayPack to be installed on the same machine as RayQC Advanced)
  • Added support for Windows Sandbox for converting legacy formats (mostly executables) into packages that can be imported into the library. This extends the repackaging options beyond the previous support for Workstation and vSphere and Hyper-V environments.
  • This new capability allows users to leverage Windows Sandbox for a lighter and more isolated environment for rapid conversion and testing, even for non-MSI setups.
  • With Windows Sandbox, you can import legacy packages more efficiently and securely, without the need for a full virtual machine setup.
• Support for Citrix App Layering packages
  • Added support for Citrix App Layering packages.
  • It is now possible to import .laypkg files into the library and you can perform testing for potential collisions across files, registry entries, and identifiers.
• Other Improvements
  • Now displays a context menu at the package level (if RayEval is installed) to quickly start a new documentation task with the required data pre-selected from the currently selected package.
  • Now displays and tracks the date and time of the last package import.
  • The current layout of columns and their settings in the Test Wizard is now persistent between sessions. This means that the user can specify the desired layout (which columns are visible, their size, sorting, etc.) on the last page of the Test Wizard, and their preferences will always be restored. This is a per-user setting.
  • Removed unused values in config files.
  • Loading of tests results on the last page of the Test wizard is now much faster.
  • Added new optional parameters to rename packages.
  • Updated the "Issues" page within the Test Wizard to display an additional column containing names of conflicting target packages when conducting conflict testing (this functionality supports both MSI and Citrix App Layering tests).
  • Enhanced the installer with a new option to install the product without any database or SQL changes. This is useful for enterprise deployments where DB operations are handled separately and the installer cannot set or change the database or its schema at runtime.
  • Improved German translation.
  • When importing a ZIP package from RayFlow where the ZIP file does not contain an .msi file, a warning is now displayed. Before it was an error message.
  • Improved stability and performance when testing large numbers of packages.
  • Improved language switching behavior so that the language of the rules changes the next time the application is restarted.
  • Added some missing flags to the language display controls.
  • Exported XML Package Reports now contain information about the MST files.
  • Added display of UpgradeCode in Package sidebar.
  • Added a restriction to prevent importing legacy packages into folders not intended for them.
  • Changed to a text cursor instead of a cursor pointer when hovering over a 'click to edit' button in the sidebar.
