    Friedrich,

    The behavior in latest build (6106) looks good.

    Thanks!

    Seth,

    you should have received a build 6100 update notification (via e-mail and web update).

    Friedrich,

    Is there supposed to be an attachment? I see none.

    Seth,

    too late <g>. The new build 6100 was already code-complete. Could you please test the stub behaviour? If it does not work as expected, I'll send you a new private build.

    Hello Friedrich,

    Thank you for addressing this. Yes, you may send me a demo executable. Do you have patches to the libraries as well?

    Regards,

    Hello,

    we have fixed it now. Am I allowed to send you a small demo setup.exe?

    Thanks,

    I have checked the source code and it seems to me that some error codes always "reset" to 0. Item in review! Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Hello,

    is this with the /S command line switch? We are busy testing our new remote deploy feature and we need a completely silent installer, even if there is a "loader" error. In our tests (with the /S switch set) it never displayed a dialog.

    I have opened a ticked and we'll try to simulate a locked temp directory scenario.

    Installer Behavior on Load Error

    In the release notes for SetupBuilder 2018 Version 10 Build 6074, the following is listed:


    CHANGE: Installer: When SetupBuilder failed to extract its temporary system files to the temp directory (either because of an anti-virus or permissions issues), it reported the error with a popup, but did not have a return code of non-zero to indicate an error. For automated installations there were no way to know that it encountered an error. It returns a non-zero exit code in this case now.

    However, this does not appear to be the behavior. If the temp directory is not accessible, the following dialog appears, and the return code from the installer is zero.
