Hi Friedrich,

Is there any reason why I couldn't add an entry into the manifest file?

Example:

[SB5UPDATE]
Version=1.50.1212
Setup=BuildAutomatorInstall.exe
Options=1,2,3

Or something like that?

I may need to download the manifest before I do an install to get the
Options parmeters and deal with them.

Best regards,

Absolutely no problem. You are allowed to add the above!

Is there a way to do so from within the SB project? I haven't looked at it
yet, just wondering.

In SetupBuilder 7, we have "#edit ini...", but this is not available in
SetupBuilder 6.

So from SB7 "yes", from SB6 "no" <g>

BUT, I could do a #RUN with "Process after script compilation, where I ran a
small exe stub that wrote to the INI file.

#run test.exe -- Command Line: /f=[IT_MANIFESTFILE] /n=%IT_UPDATEINI% --
Options: [Post-compile]

The contents of the /n argument would then determine what to write
(basically true/false in my case) and the /f agrument would be the manifest
file.

Hmm...

Yes, that would work. But I'll check if it is a problem to port "#edit
ini..." to SB6.

I'll let you know...
