More builds in 1 script

[NewsArchive]

I use SetupBuilder6.9 to build our application. My problem is that I build
it in 7 different versions with 7 scripts.

I think there must be a better way, I can think of 3 possibilities.

1. Can I make 7 builds in one script

2. Can I use a bat-file and run the script with some parameters

3. Make 1 build and a 'setup.ini' and on installation time install the
right version.



The only difference between the versions is shortcuts and license-files. The
program code is the same.



Thanks in advance

Yes, absolutely no problem. We have developed Consulting projects that
create 500+ different installation images from the same .sb6 project. The
"Releases Visualizer" and the command line compiler are a very powerful
features.

And in SetupBuilder 7, we even have a new SKU Management feature:

Yes! The command line compiler allows you to completely customize your
project(s).

I fear I don't understand this question, sorry.

Even if there were huge differences between releases from the same project,
it's not a problem with SetupBuilder.

Does this help?

Thanks Friedrich, SetupBuilder is a very good product

I use the Releases Visualizer to build my 7 versions, it works fine but I
have 1 problem left.
I want 1(and only 1) of the versions to be silent, but the
SB_SILENTMODEFLAG is readonly, any suggestions

TIA

Thank you for your kind words!

Yes, that's correct. The $SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$ flag is read-only and the
"Generate Silent Install" compiler option in the "Generator Settings" cannot
be programmatically enabled/disabled at compile time (in SB6).

The ability to programmatically enable/disable some of the "Generator
Settings" is on the drawing board for SB7.
