Re: Weird lockup in SB7.7 and other Clarion programs
Hi Friedrich,
I have separated my results into two major sections with additional
SetupBuilder version information and testing in SB7.7 (SB7.7 - W7 x86 VM
testing only) - Windows 7 x86 - Virtual machine and Windows 8 x86 - Virtual
machine.
* * * * *
Windows 7 x86 - Virtual machine - Latest Windows updates - VMware 9
Workstation (Hardware compatiblity: Workstation 9.0 virtual machine) - 1 GB
Memory allocation
* * * * *
NO ALT hang (loose focus) with either of these three products for Windows 7
x86 Virtual Machine.
1 second ALT presses to both SetupBuilder 8 and SetupBuilder 7 in various
parts of the program
Product: Developer Edition - Installation Authoring and Configuration
Management System
Version: 7.7.3769
Product: SetupBuilder Developer 2013
Version: 8.0.4000
Setupbuilder 7.7.3769 and Setupbuilder 8.0.4000 - NO ALT hangs (loose
focus) - Windows 7 x86 - Virtual machine
* * *
1 Second ALT presses to Product Scope 8.1 - single Products browse and
single Vendors browse - each have Sterling Data Search template.
Product Scope 8.1 (C6 app) - Only two browse windows - a products browse
and a vendors browse with Sterling Data Search template - are possibly
affected by ALT hang (loose focus) - no other windows in Product Scope 8
are affected by ALT hang (loose focus).
Product Scope 8.1 - NO ALT hang (loose focus) - Windows 7 x86 - Virtual
machine
* * * * *
Windows 8 x86 - Virtual machine - Latest Windows updates - VMware 9
Workstation (Hardware compatiblity: Workstation 9.0 virtual machine) - 1 GB
Memory allocation
* * * * *
Definite ALT hang (loose focus) - See Additional tests for Windows 8 x86 -
SetupBuilder 8
1 second ALT presses to SetupBuilder 8 in various parts of the program
Product: SetupBuilder Developer 2013
Version: 8.0.4000
Setupbuilder 8.0.4000 - ALT hangs (loose focus) - Windows 8 x86 - Virtual
machine
Additional tests for Windows 8 x86 - SetupBuilder 8
If I navigated through Features 1.sb8 project file to other sections, than
back to Project Definition - General Information, I could 1 second ALT
press, and it would NOT ALT hang (loose focus).
BUT never consistently - sometimes a ALT hang, sometimes NOT.

Yes, consistent definite ALT hang - Windows 8 x86 virtual machine - see

David,
Thank you for the testing results. Unfortunately, there is absolutely
nothing we can do to work around this issue at the moment :-(

Read my posts. This happens on both workstations and Virtual machines, 32
and 64 bit.

Re: Weird lockup in SB7.7 and other Clarion programs
Arnor,
Yes, I read your posts - not sure why my single Windows 7 x86 Virtual
machine would have no ALT press (loose focus) problems for both SB7.7 and
SB8,
since I used mostly defaults when setting up the VMware Workstation 9 and
your report includes W7 x86 VM with SB ALT hang problems.
Definitely SB8 ALT Hang (loose focus) in Windows 8 x86 virtual machine for
me though.
I submitted a more complete testing results message to Friedrich today.

Hi Friedrich,
I can't even remember the last time the ALT issue happened for me (until
recent tests).
