Locked Up

[Brian Cook]

Greetings!

I'm a little disappointed. While working with SetupBuilder for the first time, it locked-up. I lost about an hour of work.

The steps to reproduce the problem...

- Start SetupBuilder

- Click "Create a new project" then click "Empty Project"

- Click "Save"

- Click "Next", "Next", "Next", "Next", then "Finish"

- Using the top panel, navigate to "C:\Windows"

- Locate and double-click "NOTEPAD.EXE"

I'm using SetupBuilder 6.7.2130 / Developer Edition.

Brian,

Unfortunately, we can't reproduce this on any of our machines, running Windows 2000, Windows 2003, XP, Vista, and Windows Server 2008.

I checked our records and we have not received a similar report (and we have quite a few thousand active users). So I fear it is machine specific, sorry.

We even checked it on Windows 98, but no way to reproduce it, sorry.

Works okay here. I do not see that lock-up.

And right-click then selecting Details... works perfect too here on XP. Don't have Vista.

Works fine!

We checked the source code and I have no idea why it locks-up on your machine. This function is nothing more than a call to the ShellExecuteEx Windows API to display the standard Windows file properties dialog.

Thanks, C.

Works fine for me. Opens up notepad.exe properties windows when I double click it. I even tried a few files above and below notepad.exe and the file properties windows is shown for all of them.
