Hi Friedrich,

Any idea on when the next build will be released? Haven't seen a
build in a long time, several days at least - you're slacking!<g>

It's true! Friedrich has really spoiled us, but I like being one of

The new build is nearly code complete. I'll try to make it available within
the next three days.

"point. click. ship" - that's SetupBuilder 5

[NewsArchive]

By the way, this is the current change log for the next build.

Change log for release of SetupBuilder 5.3 Build 1396 (January 30, 2006)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

FEATURE : Create a compiler.txt file if there was a compile error. The
log file is located in the same directory as the sbuilder.exe
file. Interesting feature if you compile from the command
line.

IMPROVEMENT: [SB#601191] #msg and #msgbox compiler directives can resolve
compiler variables and constants now.

IMPROVEMENT: Add "Set Text" option to "Set Control Properties" script
function.

IMPROVEMENT: [SB#601261] Add "Replace Existing Shortcut" to the Shortcut
Folder Properties support dialog.

FIX : [SB#601201] Possible "Text File Operations..." script item
problem.

FIX : [SB#601211] Possible "Decompression #6" problem.

FIX : Possible self-deleting uninstall folder problem if uninstall
application is located in the 2nd level subfolder.

FIX : Possible save IDE position problem (maximize, minimize, right
click on it on the taskbar, choose close saved).

FIX : Changing the active language (Set Active Setup Language script
function) did not refresh some standard installer messages.

FIX : [SB#601271] Compiler bug (incorrect general properties
generated).

REGRESSION : [SB#601202] Remove installer (self-remove) feature was not
working as expected.

REGRESSION : [SB#601241] In certain isolated circumstances, the installer
set an incorrect file attribute.

CHANGE : A compile does not change the compiler variable values in the
Compiler Variables view any longer.

Hi Friedrich

Have you included the one I reported earlier this month, namely:

In order to pass a constant from an INI file to iDeploy at compile time:
"First you have to set a Constant from the INI file.
Next set a Compiler variable from that constant.
Then use that Compiler variable in the iDeploy Version field.

This works well, but please note that you need to compile TWICE since the
Compiler variable is set after the value is passed to the iDeploy
application. I've reported this to Friedrich and am awaiting his
recommendations."

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

Yes, this should work fine now. The code modification is included in this:

CHANGE : A compile does not change the compiler variable values in the
Compiler Variables view any longer.

Thanks,
Friedrich
