Updated OK.

First project I went to compile though, I get an error.

error GEN1006: Reference to variable %COMMON_FILES_FOLDER% has not been
previously defined.

The line the error relates to reads...

::Create Folder %COMMON_FILES_FOLDER%\InterVations (Always Install)

Note the "::" at the start. SB5 added this line from the files and
folders page. I'm sure I can come up with a fix for this myself, but
thought you should be aware that a SB5 added line that compiled fine
previously, now doesn't.

You may need to update (refresh) these variables.

Simon,

In build #883 (September 03, 2004) we renamed %COMMON_FILES_FOLDER% to
%COMMONFILESDIR%.

Is this such an old project?

Thanks,
Friedrich

We have added a few more fixes, and want to be able to regress test them.

SetupBuilder 5 Professional (and a new Developer Edition) build #1078 will
be available tomorrow.

We are 99% code complete now.

Absolutely. It's the original project I started that clinched the deal
for us buying SB.

Removed the line and re-added it and all is well now. Just thought you
may have over-looked something in the latest update.

Thank you Simon!

I think the setup compiler is a bit smarter now in detecting "undefined"
variables :)

Thanks again,
Friedrich
