Web update projects - A suggestion.

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich!
As of today, its so, that you either build a live application update
(General .exe) or a web project ( .exe + setup_00001 etc).
It would be nice to make them in one go, as i need the one for my CD's, and
the other for my WEB hostel.
And I tend to forget one of them, not exactly young any more <G>

Best regards

It's not possible to make an "initial" and a "web update" in one compile
because these are two completely different .sb7 projects!

But if you would like to compile a single file .exe and a "web-enabled" .exe
+ setup_00001 etc. from the same project file, then you can use the "SKU
Management Wizard" feature. See "SKU Management Demo 1-3.sb7" in the
Example Package.

Here are some screenshots (from an old beta release)

Good Idea!
I just cannot get it to work:
#ifcompvar [SUPPORT_WEBINSTALL] Does Not Equal (Ignore Case) "Yes" Then
#msg "___Disable Web Install here___"
#pragma DISABLEWEBINSTALL = "1"
#end

This should remove the tick from 'Web install' if I choose 'no', but it does
nothing as far as I can see.
Is the value correct "1"?
And does it work at your place?

It does not change your project in any way (does NOT unmark the "Web
Install" checkbox).

If you have Web Install enabled (checkbox marked) then it will generate a
web install. But if you have #pragma DISABLEWEBINSTALL = "1" then it will
NOT generate a web install (even if you have "Web Install" marked).

BTW, you can check the compiler .htm report ("Project Type" item) to see
what kind of project the compiler generated.

Does this help?

Just for info to this group (And of Cause Friederich!)
Got it to work
The combination of Setupbuilder and Build Automator from Icetios is really a
gem.
