Hi,

I have a little problem with prevent multiple setup instances. Even if I
check wether there is an other setupinstance running, there is still a
problem with my support files.

An example:
- Start Setup (instance 1)
- Setup(1) copies the supportfiles in %TMPDIR%
- Start Setup (instance 2)
- Setup(2) detects the other instance and shows a message box
- Exit Setup(2)
- Setup(2) deletes the support files in %TMPDIR%
- Go on with Setup1
- If now Setup(1) needs the support files, there is a little problem
because they are gone...

What else can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Markus

Markus,

This is only a "problem" in SB6. In SetupBuilder 7, a unique temporary
sub-folder is created for each instance. In other words, a SB7 installer
does not remove temporary files from other setup instances.
