SetupBuilder 7.1 Release Announcement
We are pleased to announce SetupBuilder 7.1. This release is available,
free of charge, to all SetupBuilder customers who have an active
SetupBuilder maintenance and support subscription plan.
The update contains several enhanced features and important bug fixes. We
strongly recommend that all customers upgrade to the latest version of
SetupBuilder as soon as possible to maintain the highest level of support,
performance and reliability.
Any organization planning to move its applications to the Windows 7 platform
will be able to use SetupBuilder to comply with this new industry standard.
Version 7.1 includes new and enhanced functionality that will further reduce
the time needed by software developers and systems administrators to create
installations and distribute them to end user desktops in any Windows
environment.
If you do not have an active subscription plan, please contact your account
manager at sales@lindersoft.com.
SetupBuilder 7.1 Build 2860 (February 02, 2010)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURE : IDE: Add "#exe2msi..." compiler directive to wrap native .exe
installations up as an MSI.
FEATURE : Add "Pin to Taskbar..." script function. One useful feature of
the new Windows 7 taskbar is the capability to "pin"
applications - keep an application's icon in the taskbar at all
times for easy access. Instead of cluttering your desktop,
browsing your "Program Files" folder or clicking through the
Start menu, your users can launch your apps from the taskbar
with one click.
IMPROVEMENT: [SB#911062] IDE: The "Display Billboard..." script function
supports a Billboard ID combo box now.

without prompting the user.
IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "Process after script compilation" option to the
"#code-sign application..." compiler directive.

control values in a "Custom Wizard Dialog" at startup. As a

issue when replacing text in a text file.
FIX : [SB#910292] IDE: Possible "#ftp upload..." problem (the

automatically scroll text to the right by 10 characters when
the user types a character at the end of the line.

Visualizer" for older projects.
