SetupBuilder 2015 Version 8.5 Build 4640 Pre-Release Announcement
As promised, we have released "SetupBuilder 2015 Version 8.5" Pre-Release.
With this new version, programmers can be sure their applications will
install on Windows 10 / Server 10 and commercial software developers can
meet the requirements for Windows 10.
The purpose of the Pre-Release is to solicit one last round of testing
before the final release. So please test this release as much as possible.
The upcoming 8.5 Gold version is scheduled to be released in January 2015.
Thank you for all of the great suggestions, bug reports, and for using
SetupBuilder!
SetupBuilder 8.5 is available, free of charge, to all SetupBuilder customers
who have an active SetupBuilder maintenance subscription plan. If you do
not have an active subscription plan, please contact your account manager at
sales@lindersoft.com.
