Hi
I am using SB4 that came with C6. I would like to NOT have our programs
listed in Add/remove programs. Can I do this?

Thanks
Les

Les,

You can't do this with SetupBuilder 4.

It is possible to do this with SetupBuilder 6.5, but it is *not*
recommended. If you don't add the uninstall entries to Add/Remove Panel,
the installation will end with a "This application has not be installed
correctly yadayada...Would you like to reinstall yadayada..." operation
system warning under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

Les,

I was incorrect. You *can* use SetupBuilder 6.5 to install applications
without having to add entries to the "Programs and Features" (aka Add/Remove
Panel) under Vista and Windows 2008. All installers/uninstallers compiled
with SB65 force (by default) the installation/uninstallation to run with
administrative privileges on Windows Vista and to prevent the Program
Compatibility Assistant from reporting that the installation/uninstallation
may not have completed successfully.

This does not work with SB4, SB5, or SB6 (beta) installers.
