SetupBuilder 7.0 (Gold) Build 2670 (July 27, 2009)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPROVEMENT: Add support for Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 SP1, Vista,
Vista SP1 and Vista SP2 to the "Set App Compatibility Mode..."
script function.

FIX : [SB#907021] Installer: Possible stack corruption when using the
/X command line switch to set the installation folder.

FIX : Installer: Minor fix in the "Active Application" functions
(internal "Set Variable" handling).

FIX : [SB#907061] IDE: The "Open Release Folder" function opened the
wrong folder in Windows Explorer when compiling a "Release" and
that specific "Release" had its own output folder defined.

FIX : Installer: Possible problem when calling the "Register Font..."
script function multiple times.

FIX : Installer: Possible problem when calling the "Add Firewall
Exception..." script function multiple times.

FIX : Installer: Possible problem when calling the "Display Splash
Screen..." script function multiple times.

FIX : Possible issue when the installation failed and the smart
rollback feature was unable to call the uninstall in "smart
rollback" mode.

CHANGE : IDE: Both Professional and Developer Edition support "Digital
Signature" in the General Information properties.

CHANGE : IDE: Both Professional and Developer Edition support the
"#code-sign application..." compiler directive.

CHANGE : IDE: Both Professional and Developer Edition support the
"#embed UAC manifest..." compiler directive.

CHANGE : IDE: Minor compiler modifications to retrieve more detailed
information if a compile failed.

CHANGE : IDE: Minor cosmetic modifications.

CHANGE : Installer: If the installer application is unable to unpack
temporary resource files into the temporary Windows folder or a
protection software product locks temporary runtime files, the
application reports "Startup loader error." instead of
"Variable name %s too long.\n\nScript Line: %s".

CHANGE : IDE: If the "General Properties" Release Distribution (FTP
Upload) reports an ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_RESET, the IDE
tries to reconnect to the upload server.

CHANGE : Installer: The Clarion template registration feature can filter
file extensions so only the .tpl files are registered (e.g. if
wildcard processing is used).

CHANGE : If a "Run Program..." or "Run Command Line..." function makes
use of the CreateProcess API to launch the application and does
not provide double-quotes around the parameters, the installer
will automatically add double-quotes around the command string.
