John,

I like the thought but some AV's dislike double extensions, ie: more
than one period.
Maybe something like...
ClaTPS-DLL.0001
ClaTPS-LIB.0001

Yeah, that would work too. I had not heard of that problem with some AVs. I guess they
also hate the .0001 extensions also.

I've never run into that but I have had problems in the past when I
programmatically stuffed a second extension onto a filename.

Yes, that may well have been the response from AVG!

Yes, double extensions are potential candidates for trouble (AV's are real
troublemakers).

I agree 100%. That should work fine. I think we can add this as an option.
So developers can continue with the "old" backup method or choose the "new"
one.

Very good idea. I'll see what I can do.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi John,
I have added a new 'PRESERVE_BACKUPEXT' #pragma. In the upcoming
SetupBuilder 8.1, you can set this #pragma to let the installer create
backup files in form of 'ClaTPS-DLL.0001'. See attached screenshot.
The new (optional) backup method is fully backward compatible to previous
SetupBuilder versions.
Thank you again for your suggestion.
Friedrich
