Re: upgrade setups from SB4 to SB5 ? Hello, No. Because the technology is too different, it's impossible to import a .sb4 into the new SetupBuilder 5. SB5 gives you so much more power and flexibility, it might be wise to "rethink" some distribution projects. SB5 has a different philosophy regarding the project management (and feature set). SB5 is completely "script driven". SB4.x projects are limited because they are based on a sequential database driven processing model. Something like the following: 1) Display GUI (Welcome -> Readme -> License -> etc.) 2) Install Files 3) Write Registry/INI Entries 4) Perform Actions 5) Run Programs In contrast to SB4, the new SB5 is completely script driven; powered by a installation programming language for Win32 and Win64. Would you like to display the License Agreement before your Welcome dialog? No problem. Or read some values out of the Registry and based on this information display different sets of wizard dialogs. With SB5 you can do it. SB5 supports IF..THEN..ELSE and LOOP control structures to provide looping and conditional execution of installation components. You can now use the *same* script to compile *different* versions of your installer (e.g. full or upgrade image). The SB5 preprocessor can conditionally include lines of code within an installer program. The directives that include code conditionally are defined in such a way that you can construct a chain of inclusion directives to include exactly the functions you want. At the moment we are working on a Visual Dialog Editor (will be part of one of the next releases) to give you even more power and flexibility. Just let me know if you have any further questions.
