SetupBuilder 5 and Windows Vista (Beta 1)

[NewsArchive]

All,

We are happy to announce that our SetupBuilder 5 Installation System is
compatible with the new Windows Vista Beta 1 (Build 5112). Both the
SetupBuilder IDE (compiled with Clarion 6.2 #9047) and the resulting
setup.exe files work fine.

We have added native (built-in) Windows Vista support to our internal
SetupBuilder 5 build #1222. This will be part of the final SB5 release.
More information will be available very soon.

Regards,

Friedrich Linder

I can confirm I've also run our SB installer and webupdate on Vista and
it worked great.

Be aware Vista is only beta 1 though. A lot changed in XP between Beta
1 and release.

Quite a few developers are interested in a screenshot of SetupBuilder 5
running on Vista.

I have uploaded a screenshot to our web site at:

BTW, this is the standard "Aero" Vista Theme

I always knew that Microsoft wanted the OS X look and feel.

Absolutely.

This morning I read (in a Mac magazine) that Vista looks like OS X.

At first I couldn't figure out what was with the smudging on some of the
screen shots. And then I realized it was intended semi-transparency.
Maybe it looks better in real life.

I have tested SB5 intensively on Vista and to be frank, I don't like the new
Vista look and feel.

My wife loves it, btw.

Friedrich,

It still isn't as nice as the OS X look, but I thought that the new graphic
engine gave the ability to do theme's more like OS X going forward. I don't
think the skinable pieces made it into the first beta.

Still have not seen anything beat the Motif look and feel. It was used in
the old CFD GUI Toolkit (and some *nix machines I used before then). Ossum
stuff.

Russ,

Take a look at the new OS X. The base OS UI is very friendly. MAC users
for many years have had a distinct advanatge over Windows users when it
comes to graphical interfaces.

If Apple would open up the OS once they port to X86 CPU's, they could put a
hurtin on MS and Windows.

If Apple would adapt an OEM program, that would do more.
