[GPU-Z Test Build] Fixed Installer for Winget

[W1zzard]

See this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/22086

The attached build should fix it. It will now create the "DisplayVersion" registry key in the uninstall section, so that winget can detect the currently installed version.

Works!

New Beta shows this:


Old version showed a blank (no version) there.

Confirmed. And second - you fixed the gui scaling problem. Thanks.

Picture is a snapshot from 4K with 175 % scaling.

Picture is a snapshot from 4K with 175 % scaling.

I am curious, why the 175% scaling?
Is this 4K display too small, or maybe too large?
(i.e. 13"-15", or maybe 30", 40", 50"-plus?

No, I use a 27'' high DPI 4K display, therefor windows and all apps can only be used ergonomically with a proper scaling of 150 or 175 %. In the past, GPU-Z failed being properly scaled.

Don't ask me to use a 40'' or even larger display with a pc. Because all modern smartphones are using even higher dpi displays without be questioned by users. High DPI displays have a major advantage: Antialiasing becomes more and more insignificant with higher DPIs. But we have to rely on proper scaling. That is part of the future. Functional scaling.

Thanks! I am asking, because I have a 27" AOC 4K display too, and I don't think I used 175% scaling on that.
Maybe it also depends on the distance to the display.

(Currently, damn thing broke a few months ago so will need a warranty replacement, but I am putting that off as was busy with other things..
It has a long 3-year warranty anyway. )

Agreed, 30" or 40" display is too much for a PC, IMHO.
But there is a way to get more desktop/screen space - use a multi-monitor config.

My standard setup here - currently slightly lessened (see above why) -- was a 3 x 27" display combo.
Worked great - I mostly use the middle display - the 4K one, on the right I had a Lenovo 1440p used for things I need to look at occasionally, and on the left there is a LG 27" display/TV combo, used mostly for YouTube and offline movies for my 5-year old daughter here.
Yes, I know this is a bit of Frankenstein setup -- all displays are 27", but resolutions differ - 4K, combined with 1440p (WQHD) and 1080p/Full HD on the LG, but it works for me.

High DPI displays have a second major advantage: superior in eye-pleasing, eye-friendly sharpness. So overall I love 27'' in 4K. For office and gaming! But that is enough OT. A 3-display setup needs some (extra) space... For my taste, one display is sufficient.
