I sent three emails to AVG company to get solution of this problem with false positive. P.S. Sorry for late reply, I had a 3 day's trip to Moscow.

PicturesToExe accepts text on your native language and some foreign languages (in same language group). We plan improve language support in the next version. Regarding executable slideshows. They can display any text not depending on language or country. If you create a slideshow with French text, a user from Brazil can see your text exactly as you designed it.

Only v7.0 executables. We need to wait when AVG fixes this false positive. I think it will take 1-2 days.

Thanks, I just sent a report to AVG company about this false positive. Please also send your reports to AVG company to speed solution of this problem.

Well, we did it. Please try updated version 7.0.1 Beta: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup-701-beta.exe 1. Option "Keep full slide duration" turned off by default now. New users will use old timing system (as in version 6.5). 2. This option ("Keep full slide duration") has been moved to the main window of PicturesToExe. 3. We've fixed all logical bugs if you use this new timing mode. Please let me know what you think? I hope this change will please all users

I can suggest the following solution. 1. Find same file "unins000.msg" in a folder of the final version 7.0. 2. Copy this file to the folder of version 7.0 Beta 14/15. 3. Then please try uninstall again Beta 14/15.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.0.1 BETA is available now. Download: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup-701-beta.exe List of changes: + "Keep full slide duration" option has been moved to the main window of PicturesToExe and it's disabled by default. * Improved quality of video for iPad. * Fixed bugs with slide duration. * Fixed problem with the Objects and animation editor on some old Intel video cards. * Fixed freezing of the Project option window with Korean language. View | Advanced Options). * Minor bug-fixes.

First of all, thank you for your comments and suggestions! Please try an updated version 7.0.1 Beta: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup-701-beta.exe It solves several problems related with the new slide duration. We need to separate temporal bugs from logical problems (flaws in design). Personally we like the new time system (in version 7.0). We find it simple and suitable for various cases. I really sorry that it caused such problems and misunderstandings. Probably it was difficult to understand this problem because I don't create complex AVs or have different working style. How to separate real logical problems from habits? Peter, thanks for this interesting idea! I didn't think about this. I think PicturesToExe should have some solution for video slides and for slides with complex animation (where keypoints require fixed full slide duration). And I see one of the following: 1. Use new slide duration conception introduced in v7.0 (by default or not - it's a another question). 2. The idea of Peter. Add a new option for a slide - "Keep full duration of this slide". And enable this option automatically for video clips added as slides to the Slide list. On first glance it works, but it's one more option for user and different behaviour of slides within one project. 3. Implement one change to the old time mode of slide duration (as in version 6.5). After re-ordering of slides with video clips analize slides before this change. If a video clip had exactly same duration with full slide duration then perform automatical time correction for this slide only. The benefit of this idea - it's an automatic solution and applicable for slides with video clips only. No new options. Please let me know what you think?

Thanks for the confirmation!

Hello Bob, I think that we solved this problem. Please try this solution, before we publish updated version. Download and unpack attached ZIP file (the link below). Replace an old file mp4presets.dat in the following folder: C:\Program Files\WnSoft PicturesToExe\7.0\VideoBuilder\ Please let me know about result. mp4presets.zip

Dave, If this problem come back, please let me know. I need project files to reproduce that situation.

Avast Software company has confirmed a solution of this problem today.

Thanks. I confirm this bug with templates. We'll try fix it version 7.0.1 Hello Al! Glad to see you again! Please send me executable file and time point where I can hear this glitch, I'll check up.

The coming update 7.1 will include improved support of various video formats.

Please send me this project and produced video file exported in version 7.0 to see this problem. I think we will able fix it quickly. Project files in ZIP archve (PicturesToExe -> the main menu | File | Create backup in ZIP archive). You can upload files to www.mediafire.com free service and them send me a download link by personal message.

Dave, Please could you send me this project (all files)? We'll try re-create this problem and fix it.

Thank you, Barry! I just sent my report to Avast Software on this false positive. Please send as possible more reports/complaints to Avast to speed up solving of this problem.

Hello Hilary, You can download previous PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5.8 here: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/previous-versions/picturestoexe-setup-658.exe

Excuse me for late response. I really need more time to read all comments and prepare my suggestions.

There are two points I forgot to say. Windows 8 designed for PCs, laptops as well as for table computers. I suppose that tablet computers with Windows 8 will have ARM CPUs (not Intel or AMD) and use a new "Metro" user interface (optimized for small screens) introduced in Windows 8. PicturesToExe currently doesn't support ARM CPUs (because they never were used for Windows before). Also we need to adapt PicturesToExe for Metro UI, so you will able use PicturesToExe within usual Aero user interface (like in Windows 7). Personally I think that Metro UI is not much helpful for desktop applications. Metro UI is very different from a standard graphical interface in Windows. It looks almost as an user interface on Windows Phone 7 smartphones. I have no idea how to fit all complex functions into Metro UI. Even Microsoft didn't show yet their new Office for the Metro UI. New Microsoft Office still uses old user interface.

Microsoft has published today a public preview of Windows 8 for software developers (Windows 8 will replace Windows 7 next year). I just tried quickly all main features of PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.0. Everything works fine - the main program, slideshows, HD video output, DVD burning.

Peter, I've added one correction to file associations and uploaded updated version 7.0. Please try it. It's very minor correction, but can help.

Peter, It may occur if you manually associated project files with PicturesToExe in the past. After this, the installer can't re-associate project files any more.

Since version 7.0 we send short licese keys for PicturesToExe Deluxe. Example: ABC4U-VUN9R-BKHAC-E7CWQ-ZBNP3 Also you can buy a CD disc with PicturesToExe, user guides in PDF, license key printed on a cover of the disc. User receives Deluxe and Upgrade keys immediatelly after purchasing. Also customer receives a copy of license key in second email. New short key can be easily entered to PicturesToExe. So I think we completely solved the problem with missed license keys.

Thanks for your responses! It seems that we shouldn't use same download link for new versions. Browsers may give previously downloaded file of an old version that is obvious mistake on my opinion. Please use this new download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe
