Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Hello,
1) When I downloaded and installed SetupBuilder 5 - I ended up with
Developer and Professional installed. Which one do I use?
2) When I click on Check for Updates. I get a message "sbuilder.exe is
currently running. Please close the SetupBuilder IDE and click OK to
continue" - Can I recommend removing the word "IDE" and changing it to
"Program". Any novice user has no clue what "IDE" means.
-Robert
Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Also, this is what appeared after I downloaded the update.
See attached. :-) I know I have to hit finish - but this screen surely
looks like it is missing telling me that I am finished.
-Robert
Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Robert,
Hmm, can you reproduce this? I have never seen this before. Quite a few
users updated to the latest build but I have not received a similar bug
report.
Are you running XP?
Thanks,
Friedrich

Hi,
Running XP Professional - SP2
I believe it is a Clarion issue, not a SB issue ... as I think the system
didn't paint the screen. Hmmmmmmm.
-Robert
Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Robert,
We have developed our own setup compiler so it's not a Clarion issue.
When did that happen? Did you download the *FULL* SB5 Pro build #1130, or
did you press "Check for Updates" from within your SB5 Pro build #1124?
Thanks,
Friedrich

Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Robert,
1) Did you install both SB5 Developer #1030 and Pro #1030?
2) I agree! I will change this, thank you.

Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Yes, I found I had a very old beta version of one - and removed it.
But, how did I get that version. :-) hmmmmm .... I know I purchased
something from you in the past .... Is Professional or Developer with more
features? If so, what version am I permitted to have?
-Robert
Re: SetupBuilder 5 Developer/Professional Edition (RC3 - #1130)
Robert,
All early beta versions were Developer Editions.
You are a licensed SB5 Pro user. In addition to all functions found in
SetupBuilder 5.0 Professional, the Developer Edition provides advanced
features such as WebInstall and WebUpdate (live update) for creating dynamic
Internet-based installations (powered by iDeploy), Integrated Visual
Debugger, multi-language support, customizable Uninstaller, MultiVersion
file updater (multi-version patch), Delayed File Install support, Windows
Services support, Serial Number Generator, built-in support for Authenticode
Digital Signatures, HTTP Post and File Downloading functions, AutoUpdate
Generator, Online Registration, Serial Number Generator, Dynamic Scanning,
Zip and Unzipping, built-in installation support for SoftVelocity's IP Data
Server (IPDS), MapDrive and NetShare functions, and specific compiler
directives.
Thanks,
Friedrich

Friedrich,
Or to make it a tad more active voice:
"Please close SetupBuilder and press OK ..."
