Dream

[NewsArchive]

I dream of a WYSIWYG dialog interface.

A sort of pseudo compile that displays all of the dialogs and lets you
muddle around in them.

This would be very useful in my instance, which I suspect is not unique. I
have just a few complex (to me) installs which might have non-standard (if
that's a correct term) dialogues.

Seems easy but what do I know? ;-)

From the technical point-of-view, this is impossible because SetupBuilder
compiles native .exe files. Similar to a Clarion or Visual Studio C
executable. The only way to do this is to compile and do a TEST run. For
example, you can't "simulate" an "IF..THEN..ELSE" condition without
compiling and running the software.

But it's so very easy to "omit" files to test the dialog logic. And you
even have different options.

-- Releases

See: http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/OmitFiles.zip

To compile a Release (in this case to "omit" files), click the Compile
"split" button (drop down arrow) and select the "Omit File" Release to
compile. Compiling a Release changes the currently active Release.

Does this help?

Another option:

-- SKU Management Wizard

Thanks to both replies.

How about a WYSIWG of each dialog?

Thanks for all your help.

That SKU stuff is so great!

I need to produce installs for 4 different countries / brandings, each has both
a complete install and an update for existing.

That means I have to make 8 different SETUP.EXE. All gets done with just one
Setupbuilder script which I call accordingly.

With Setupbuilder its just a snap!
