During the last seven years, I tried to add "SetupBuilder" to Wikipedia.
Without any luck. As soon as a SetupBuilder article appeared, they removed
it within minutes. Discussions were not allowed. Of course, InstallShield,
Wise, InstallAnywere, VISE, etc. are listed.

So this is my last try. No advertising at all, just a simple neutral:

"SetupBuilder is a commercial Software Installation Authoring and
Configuration Management environment for developers and organizations
deploying applications to the Microsoft Windows Platform, including Windows
7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows x64."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SetupBuilder

Of course, they removed it again. I added it again (with a slightly
modified text) and it's under investigation.

"A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with
its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content
policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the
talk page"

If you see the SetupBuilder article on Wikipedia, please do not add
something that could be misinterpreted as advertising.

I think if it comes from you, they see it as advertising. Just a wild guess.

Yes, this time I officially used our Lindersoft domain and even a Lindersoft
login to start the article. In the past, this was not the case (I used an
anonymous yahoo email address and no linder login), but with the same
results.

I have had the same problem with my software. Most of my commercial
competitors are listed but my applications get removed.

A "professional" submission service offered to help. They claimed to
have a good success rate because their submissions appeared to be
independent. The cost was huge so I did not try that method.
