SetupBuilder 5.5 will be released next week

[NewsArchive]

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let everyone know that SetupBuilder 5.5 will be released
next week. The conference in Cambridge was a big success and we have
received quite a few interesting suggestions. We have added a few more
fixes, and want to be able to regress test them over the weekend.

Robert Zaunere came up with a great idea for Pocket PC deployment. As
a result, we'll change our roadmap for SetupBuilder 6 to fully support
Pocket PC installers. You'll be able to compile over-the-air and
standard CAB file technology installations.

To sum it up, the upcoming SetupBuilder 5.5 already makes it possible
to deploy your Win32 and .NET applications, a later 5.5 service pack
will introduce Windows Installer Merge Module support, SetupBuilder 6
will add support for .msi and Pocket PC deployment.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Hi Jean-Pierre,

You are right, this page does not exist any longer. I have removed the
link to the page now.

It should read:

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Sorry, I meant your next maintenance and support plan will be valid until

I fear too much coding isn't good for my health :-(

Okay, I have trouble with our accounting lady now. It should read "We will
BEGIN to send out notifications by the end of next week". It will take
5-7 days to send out all notifications.

Did I miss something?

Is Softvelocity planning support for PocketPC/Windows Mobile?

Paul,

You will be able to use Clarion.net to develop Pocket PC .NET applications.
We saw a nice demo at Cambridge University.

Interesting. Did the demo convince you that SV was on track?

paul macfarlane

[NewsArchive]

IMO, it already looked pretty good. Especially the .NET application
demo for the Pocket PC knocked me off my chair. BobZ opened a
Clarion.net solution, compiled the stuff, distributed the resulting
application to a Windows Mobile 5.0 and it worked very nicely. This
Clarion.net feature can open new markets for us.

Hello,

How easy was it to get it on a Windows Mobile 5.0? Was the demo done on
PDA or was the demo done on CellPhone?

-Robert

Hi Robert,

It was done on a Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator. And it
was very easy to get it on the Pocket PC - the cab file installed the
application within a few seconds.

Hello,

Was it done on a PDA or was it done on a Cell Phone? Meaning, was the Right
and Left Buttons available to be used for popup menus and options?

-Robert

I have the latest emulators here - the Pocket PC PDA (WM 5.0) and Pocket PC
Phone (WM 5.0) emulators look quite identical. But I think (I'm 95% sure)
it was done one a PDA emulator.

BTW, I seem to remember that the latest Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0 (beta)
was used, not Device Emulator 1.0.
