SetupBuilder 6.9 Release Announcement
July 31, 2008 - Lindersoft, a leading provider of installation authoring and
configuration management tools, today announced the release of SetupBuilder
6.9, the premier software installation solution for Windows developers.
SetupBuilder is an installation authoring system that creates professional
setup programs in hours, instead of days. Whether developers need a simple
setup or a complex, fully customized installation, SetupBuilder provides the
perfect combination of power, ease of use, and versatility. It offers
developers and systems administrators a portfolio of advanced installation
products with a full range of capabilities and features, spanning from
simple setups to complex, fully customized installations. SetupBuilder is
the optimal solution for developers and organizations deploying applications
to the Microsoft Windows Platform, including Windows x64, Windows Vista and
Windows Server 2008. Properly prepared applications deploy successfully,
which in turn reduces support and improves end-user productivity in an
organization.
This release is available, free of charge, to all SetupBuilder customers who
have an active SetupBuilder maintenance subscription plan. If you do not

sales@lindersoft.com.

SetupBuilder 6.9 is an update to our latest stable release, and includes
several enhanced features and important bug fixes. We strongly recommend
that all customers upgrade to the latest version of SetupBuilder as soon as
possible to maintain the highest level of support, performance and
reliability.
