Re: How do check for "in use" files? After a few minutes of experimentation with the Script Editor, I managed to accomplish what I needed with "Detect Active Application", which is all I really needed. It wasn't as mysterious as I had originally perceived it to be, and I'm looking forward to putting more controls into future installs. All this newfound power and flexibility is going to be very nice indeed! Very nice job with this version, Friedrich. Thanks again, Brad
Re: How do check for "in use" files? I saw those functions but am still puzzled a bit as to how (or where) to implement them. I was hoping for a simple one-click solution as before. Guess I'll have to get my feet wet and dive into the script editor. Thanks for your quick response!
Re: How do check for "in use" files? Hi Brad, There are several functions to handle this. Please see "Check in-use File", "Check in-use Folder Tree" and "Start/Stop Delayed File Install" functions. Does this help?
How do check for "in use" files? Hello, I have been a SetupBuilder 4 user for quite some time and am trying to get up to speed with version 5. So far, I really like what I see! However, there is one thing I used often in version 4.0 which I can't seem to find in this version. I used to be able to turn on an option to have the installer check for "in use" files and abort the install if they were found. The option was simply a checkbox in Advanced Installer Properties before. I can't find that option in version 5. Is there a simple way to add this functionality in this version? Brad
