I seem to have a problem for a while now with the setup.exe from compiled and it's driving me nuts :(
What is wrong with the display of the ags setup.exe screen on my pc?
I really hope someone has a clue so I can fix this...
Two examples of the setup screen below.
In each image is the one on top the setup.exe running on my pc, and the lower one the same setup.exe on tamara's running on pc.

Looks like a dpi problem. Do you have a very high resolution screen? In that case, the system might be set to scale up fonts and controls so they won't be too tiny, but apparently it doesn't affect window size (or height, anyway), so the controls no longer fit in the window. I imagine the AGS setup would need to be rewritten to deal correctly with different dpi values (the old standard was 96 on Windows, but more recently 120 has become more common, and "retina" displays use even higher densities).
There must be a solution. I'll look into this.
E: Good thing this is easily reproducible by setting 120 dpi in Windows display settings.
No clue how to set dpi in win8.1.
There's a setting in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display, where you change the size of all items (scaling level). Changing that doesn't fix it.
I'm running with the latest nvidia drivers.
Arjon, please try out this test build:

Did not use Win8 much, but for changing DPI googling find this: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/28310-dpi-scaling-size-change-displays-windows-8-1-a.html

Well, running the acwin.exe does fix something else that is happening since a while:
I couldn't run my project in full screen.
The game's resolution is 320x200, and when setting it to run fullscreen it does run in a windowed 320x200 box.
Running this acwin.exe make the game run in fullscreen.

Yes, tried these option already but no result for the winsetup.exe to run normal.
Thanx for the help so far CW & Snarky!
Oh... wait, I forgot to elaborate.
I mean - run setup from this new acwin.exe:
"acwin.exe --setup"
from command line
It is good to hear that it fixed something else for you too :).
Yes! ;-D

And yes, it looks like this also fixes my unable to run in fullscreen' issue.
Thanx, awesome!
Good, I learned how to properly calculate dialog size based on font DPI :D.
..."driver" in "Graphics driver" didn't make it to the window though >:(. This label should not wrap, for starters.
