It would be a very cool feature if the SB version field could reference one of the files in the installation, and automatically get the installer version number from the version resource of that file.

Sorry for not responding to this earlier; I don't think I received a notice that you had responded, and the monolithic workaround fixed our problem well enough. I will gather those files together...

With 100mb volumes, it failed even earlier, on audio_g.pig.

With 10mb volumes, it fails on the first large file.

Looks like the commonality in all these cases is the switch from...

That just moved the error to another file: audio_v.pig, which would precede avatarstatic.pig if I hadn't pulled avatarstatic to the front.

It looks like I'm hitting some kind of cumulative size...

It works fine in an installer by itself. Will it still be at all helpful to have a copy of it? Right now I'm trying a full package with this particular file singled out, moved to the front, and...

This is an urgent issue.

I'm testing a disc-based installer to send to one of our contacts in Asia. It's been a while since we've needed to build an installer to be burned to disc. I keep...

That's why I love SB. Whenever I run into a missing feature I need "it's in the next release"!

Right now I have 3 installers for our product:
"Beta" - currently our main project, for internet distribution
"Test" - a parallel installation, for dedicated beta testers to pound on the very...

One of our middleware providers has started requiring SSE support on the processor to run their code. I'm having trouble figuring out how to find this information through SetupBuilder to detect...

I saw on the news forum that "Wizard Auto Break" is deprecated. I verify this in projects converted from SB5; the Wizard Auto Break line displays a warning but compilation succeeds.

I already know that this user is getting %WINVER% == $WIN_95$, based on the error message he gets ("Windows 95 not supported") and the stage of installation that he reached.


If %WINVER% Equals...

I have a user who reports that when running our installer, he got a message that Windows 95 is not supported. This message is most likely coming from rt_vc2005redist_x86.sbi. But this user is not...

Fascinating. So as I understand it, there's no set limit: it's based on available memory, past usage and memory fragmentation.

Given that, is there any way to tell SetupBuilder "Make the .exe as...

Nope, but it explains. ;)

Do you happen to know the cutoff value where this becomes an issue? I can easily span across images just under that size, as I'm actually distributing all these files...

When I build a monolithic or web installer, the .exe has a nice looking icon with a disc in front of a monitor with an open box off to the side.

When I build the same project as distributed across...

Note this issue applies to all projects, not just to WebUpdate projects.

This was easy to fix, once I thought of it, by doing

Repro steps:

1. Create a webupdate installer. Deploy to a website.
2. Run the installer. Change the default installation directory; install to e.g. C:\test
3. Change the installer's version...

Running 2 WebUpdate installer projects on the same set of files gives me an image which is almost exactly the same. To save upload bandwidth, I'd like to just upload one set of WebUpdate files and...

One of our users is received a decompression error during installation:


Now, Thumbs.db should not be in the installer, and it will be removed in the next release. But for various reasons, we...

Also, as long as I'm on the topic of read-only, it would be very nice if the auto-save feature on scripts (when selecting another script or compiling) would detect that a script is read-only, with...

Whenever I check my top & side graphics into source control, subsequent builds of the installer display pure white instead of the bitmap I expect.

Manually setting either of these files to...

Welcome! Anything I can do to help improve a great product!

In http://www.lindersoft.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5571&postcount=3 announcing SetupBuilder 5.5 you said "The next SetupBuilder version comes with the MSM merge module compiler." I presume by next...

Repro steps:
