[wpkg-users] Makemsi broken in Wpkg-GP-0.17.16_x64.exe ?

[Nils Thiele]

Hi,

I tried to build the latest release on windows 7 instead of windows 8.1 
and it seems this fixed the problem with the makemsi.exe (atleast on the 
2 win7 systems i tried).
This build seems to work fine on newer versions too but i hope to get a 
bit more feedback on this. Especially because the filesize on with 
win8.1 and win7 builds differ so much.

Check the releases page on github for the download:

https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp/releases

Best Regards,

Nils
