Custom Install - Not working as I wuold expect

[NewsArchive]

Using SB 5.0 Developer - build 1180.

First off, I am total new to this program (was using Wise Installer),
so this is probably something that I am doing wrong.

I have an install script that has a "Select Setup Type [Standard]"
followed by "Custom Install" dialog. My question are as follows:

1. The "Total Disk Space Required" at the bottom of the window does
not change as different options are check or unchecked. I would assume
that it should so that the end user knows immediately how much space
is required. Also when moving to the "Ready to Install", that screen
also does not show correct total.

2. The default choices does not appear to follow what is setup in the
"Types" tab under custom. Should it and if not, how do we set which
ones are default?

3. My "Custom Install" dialog box for some reason keeps losing the "#"
around the variable names. I have not determine what causes it but
will occasional get the dialog box with all of the title being the
variable names. Returning to the dialog box will find that the "#" are
gone.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also I can post
or send the ".sb5" file if needed.

Barton,

Could you please send your .sb5 script to support (at) lindersoft (dot) com

BTW, did you use #1180 to develop the script, or did you develop it with a
previous version and then compile with #1180?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Not really sure which version I used but think it was 1180. I have
been restarting multiple times so not positive,

Will send file.

Thanks!

Please try the following to check the disappearing "#" problem. Close the
SB5 IDE, delete the SB5.LIC file (located in the root of the SetupBuilder 5
folder), then restart the IDE. Still the same "#" problem?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Regression. Fixed now, thank you!

The "Custom Install" dialog always displays *all" features and sub-features.

Discussed via private email.

You have "Install By Default" disabled (Features view). If you also check
this (DemoData and TXDFile) then all items are "checked".
