BTW, SetupBuilder 7.1 Build 2860 (February 02, 2010) incorporated the
following change:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGE : Installer: The "Run elevated from non-elevated SetupBuilder
application" option in "Run Program..." is only executed on
Vista or better.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my statement above is only valid for SB 7.1 #2860 and better.

Hi Friedrich,

> update?

I have been testing installs all night on Windows 7 Ultimate with all the
latest updates. What I have found is that if I use this in a web update I
get an error after the program runs about "Explorer.exe" has stopped
working. As far as I can tell it ONLY happens when the program is executed
at the end of the web update. When I closed the program down after it was
run from the webupdate I would also get a window telling me that the program
did not run properly or something to that effect (sorry, didn't grab a
screenshot). That also happened _only_ when the program was run from the
web update, i.e. it never happens when I run the program from a shortcut on
the desktop or the start menu. Everything is code signed and all my
dll's/exe's are manifested asInvoker with Vista and Windows 7 compatibility.

Best regards,

Hi Arnór,

I don't think this is caused by the "Launch non-elevated under UAC" option
(but of course, I can be wrong).

It seems to me that the webupdate self-removal process causes this in your
"Explorer.exe". Perhaps on of your protection software products "blocks"
it? I don't know.

What happens if you disable this "Launch non-elevated under UAC" option and
start it elevated from web update?

Because this option worked fine on (at least) 22 million installations on
UAC-aware systems during the last 15 months, I'll not open a ticket here.
It would be too dangerous to play with the code.

If I get a chance this weekend I'll run some tests on this and will report
the results. There is no software protection on this system, it's just
plain vanilla Clarion 6.3 app, manifested for win7/vista compat. and code
signed. This is on a plain, default all the way, install of Windows 7
Ultimate, no bells or whistles that I'm aware of<g>

Please try the following three things:

1. Disable the "Launch non-elevated under UAC" option and let Run Program
restart the program elevated.

If this still causes a Explorer.exe error:

2. Add a Sleep(5) to the end of your script (after the line that restarts
the application)

If this still causes a Explorer.exe error:

3. Disable the self-removal in your web update.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Thanks for the pointers How do I disable the self-removal?

I think you have the following in your script:

! Always remove installer
Set Installer Flag $SB_ALWAYSREMOVEINSTALLER$ to "1"

-OR-

General Information Visualizer -> Advanced Settings -> "Remove Installer
after Successfull Installation".
