Clarion 3rd-party developers: Don't panic (January 21, 2014)

Clarion 3rd-Party Developers:

My InBox is full <g>. Quite a few 3rd-party developers are still in "panic
mode" because they have "lost" their Clarion 9.0 uninstall entry and their
Clarion 9.1 'auto-detect' capability after installing Clarion 9.1
pre-release #10638.

Please be patient and wait for the Clarion 9.1 update :-) You'll only have
to uninstall the 'initial' C9.1 pre-release and SetupBuilder's magic will
bring back your C9.0 items, including 'auto-detect' capability. After that,
install the new C9.1 beta and you are done.

Please do not (DO NOT!) try to fix it on your own (e.g. manipulate registry
entries, "cut and past" Clarion folders, etc.).

In the script language
Anyway to get todays date without having to call a clarion DLL?
What I would like to do is use my version number and add todays date as the
the SB
compile date for the SB exe name. Example 200_012114.exe

In the script language to retrieve the current date at installer runtime
(not what you are looking for): "Get System Info -> Current Date"

At compile time from the pre-processor:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/currentdate2.zip

1. Use a compiler variable value in the Executable Name entry field, for
example: 200_[CURRENTDATE].exe

2. From the pre-processor, call a helper executable (writecurdate.exe ->
..sb8 source code project included) to write the current date into a
temporary file. You can change the date format in "writecurdate.sb8" if you
want.

3. Read the date into the [CURRENTDATE] compiler variable.

That's it :-) If you compile the getdate.sb8 demo project today, the
resulting executable is named "200_20140121.exe"

The ability to write little utilities and add-ons is one of the unsung gems
of SB.

I've even used it to write a little thing to use as an add-on to a piece of
commercial medical software that accepts a couple of parameters from the
host program, massages them into a login URL, and opens a medical
information website. No wizard screens, just simple functionality and under
150K in size with no runtime DLLs required.
