Paquet Builder 2026.2.1 - Hotfix for ticket #6738
==================================================

This hotfix fixes three issues in the runtime that Paquet Builder embeds into
the installers/uninstallers it builds:

  1. "Restart Computer" custom action had no effect (no reboot).
  2. Access Violation (0xC0000005 "Unexpected error in package code") when the
     installer/uninstaller closes - seen mostly on Windows 7.
  3. A Setup-routine package (or the "Install MSI Package or Update" action)
     did not launch the MSI (msiexec was never started).

The fix lives in the runtime that is embedded into your installers at BUILD
TIME, so only newly built EXEs get the fix. Rebuild your project after applying.

HOW TO APPLY
------------
1. Close Paquet Builder.

2. Open your Paquet Builder installation folder. Depending on how it was
   installed, this is either:
      C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Programs\GDG Software\Paquet Builder 2026
   or
      C:\Program Files\GDG Software\Paquet Builder 2026
   (If unsure: right-click the Paquet Builder shortcut -> "Open file location".)

3. Copy the "Compiler" folder from this ZIP into that installation folder,
   replacing existing files when prompted (Windows may ask for administrator
   confirmation). This replaces four files:
      Compiler\Lib\pbsfx.lib
      Compiler\Lib\pbsfx64.lib
      Compiler\PBCore\pbcore.dll
      Compiler\PBCore\pbcore64.dll

4. Restart Paquet Builder and REBUILD your installer package.

The fix will be included in the next official Paquet Builder update, which will
simply overwrite this patch.
