All editions of SetupBuilder are available as free trial versions. They are
fully functional and have an unlimited evaluation period:

http://www.lindersoft.com/sb50trial/sb5_1267_Dev_Trial.exe

This upgrade is filled with significant improvements, new features and
fixes.

SetupBuilder 5.1 Developer Edition gets you ready for Windows x64. If you
are writing applications for the new 64-bit Windows operating system, you
will need a way to install your 64-bit files. Interactions with 64-bit
system folders, the 64-bit registry and 64-bit COM registration are
supported. This functionality is supported for both Intel and AMD 64-bit
platforms. Build installations for both pure 64-bit applications and hybrid
applications that mix 32-bit and 64-bit code. Distribute native 32-bit and
native 64-bit applications with a single version of the installer
(two-in-one technology). Use a single project base for your 32-bit and
64-bit applications.

Change log for release of SetupBuilder 5.1 Build 1267 (September 23, 2005)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that in the text below that "SB#" indicates the reference number of a
problem or suggestion reported and submitted to our bug and suggestion
database.

Features/Improvements/Fixes/Workarounds/Changes/Notes:

FEATURE : Add Windows x64 (64-bit) installation support. Interactions
with 64-bit system folders, the 64-bit registry and 64-bit COM
registration are supported.

FEATURE : Build installations for both pure 64-bit applications and
hybrid applications that mix 32-bit and 64-bit code.

FEATURE : Distribute native 32-bit and native 64-bit applications with a
single version of the installer (32/64 two-in-one technology).

FEATURE : Add "WOW64 Status" option to the "Get System Information"
script function to determine whether the specified process is
running under WOW64 (64-bit Windows).

FEATURE : Add "SB_SYSWOW64DIR" option to the "Get Special Folder Path"
script function to retrieve the path of the system directory
used by WOW64. This directory is not present on 32-bit
Windows.

FEATURE : Add "Enable/Disable x64 Support..." script function to enable
or disable support for x64 on Windows x64 systems at run-time.

FEATURE : [SB#509152] Add installer Background Color support.

IMPROVEMENT: Update "Afrikaans" language file.

IMPROVEMENT: [SB#509171] Better compiler reporting of patch problems.

IMPROVEMENT: Add "Register file immediately" option to the "Register
OCXs/DLLs" script function.

IMPROVEMENT: Add $SB_ALWAYSREMOVEINSTALLER$ flag to the "Set Installer
Flag" script function. If set, the setup executable will
remove itself when it is completed.

FIX : [SB#509011] Creating additional Features and adding files to
the Program Files and Common Files folders caused a GEN1006
compiler error.

FIX : [SB#509021] Convert File Source Paths IDE function did not
convert the paths in File Properties->Patch filenames.

FIX : [SB#509022] Possible problem after entering a new Maintenance
and Support Plan ID and restarting the SB5 IDE.

FIX : [SB#509091] Possible Windows Vista compiler problem. Under
certain circumstances the compiler did not generate Vista
specific conditional instruction code.

FIX : [SB#509141] Possible window title problem when hard-coding
text strings.

FIX : [SB#509151] Under certain circumstances the installer did not
replace read-only files.

FIX : Under certain circumstances the compiler reported an error to
be one line past where it actually occurred.

FIX : Under certain circumstances the "Register OCXs/DLLs" script
function did not return a %_SB_ERRORCODE% value.

CHANGE : By default the %SYS32DIR% variable points to the SysWOW64
folder on Windows 64-bit machines if the installer is running
in 32-bit mode.

Hello Friederich,

Funnily it refused to update saying no software found ??!!
I downloaded the full install and installed it (without touching the
previous version) and all seems well but in case let me know if I have done
something wrong ...

Merci beaucoup

Friedrich,

I get an error message:

"Previous Version Detection Faild"
"The Web Update application failed to detect a previous version of your
application"

I have build 1244 installed.\

Any suggestion what I should try next?

Larry,

Did you "move" the SB5 system to another folder/drive? Did you install "for
all users" or just "for me"?

BTW, a full install should work fine. But I would like to know what the
problem is here.

Thanks,
Friedrich

P.S. Leaving for an appointment now.

I did not move the original folder. All prior updates worked okay.

I install for ALL users.

Friedrich,

Just checked, it is still build 1201. I have it on my laptop at home for
backup, so I guess I did not keep up with the builds.

What is the best way to update. Are the previous builds still available.

Thanks. By the way, the command line function really works great.

Don,

Thank you!

We have removed all SetupBuilder 5 pre-releases from our servers. Web
Updates for pre-releases are not supported any longer.

Please download the latest full install image.

Does this help?

Friedrich
