Hi folks,

Just wanted to let everyone know that SetupBuilder 7.7 will be released next
week. We have added a few more fixes, and want to be able to regress test
them.


Change log for release of SetupBuilder 7.7 Build 3636 (March 23, 2012)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEATURE : Add preliminary built-in support for Windows 8 "Consumer
Preview" and Windows Server 2012.

FEATURE : IDE: Add support for Windows 8 in the "#embed UAC manifest..."
compiler directive.

FEATURE : [SB#202091] IDE: Add "#http download..." compiler directive to
download a file.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add support for Windows 7 to the "Set App Compatibility
Mode..." script function.

IMPROVEMENT: Add "Installer GUID" option to the "Get System Info..." script
function to retrieve the GUID of the installer.

IMPROVEMENT: [SB#202131] Installer: The 'Set Variable(Ex) "Arithmetic &
Bitwise" operation supports 64-bit integer values now.

IMPROVEMENT: [SB#202031] IDE: The compiler displays the code signing
expiration date in the compiler window. If the expiration
date is < 45 days, it gives a compiler warning.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "Add Include Script..." item to the right-click
popup menu in the Script Editor.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "Set Variable..." item to the right-click popup menu
in the Script Editor.

IMPROVEMENT: Add support for .NET Framework 4.5 detection.

IMPROVEMENT: The "System Software Requirements" option supports .NET
Framework 4.5 detection.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add a HTTP_TIMEOUT #pragma to set the timeout, in
milliseconds, for blocking receive calls in HTTP download
actions.

FIX : [SB#202281] IDE: The compiler did not detect unreferenced
variables in the "Edit INI..." script function.

CHANGE : [SB#201231] Installer: If a ".NET Framework is Installed"
Software Requirement is not met, the installation replaces
the "1.0" text string resource "placeholder" in the displayed
message box with the selected .NET Framework version.

CHANGE : Installer: If a Requirement is not met, the message box
displays an icon consisting of a lowercase letter "i" in
a circle.

CHANGE : IDE: Rename "Arithmetic & Bitwise Operation" in the "Set
Variable(Ex)..." script functions to "Arithmetic & Bitwise".

CHANGE : [SB#202132] IDE: The Get Started Task "Browse sample projects"
displays a warning message if Windows can't explore the
'Examples' folder.

CHANGE : Installer: Change the default timeout for blocking receive
calls in HTTP download actions from 5,000 milliseconds to
10,000 milliseconds.

CHANGE : [SB#202291] IDE: The "Add Compiler Variable" SKU Management
Configuration option checks for the invalid vertical bar
("|") in the Value List entry.

CHANGE : IDE: If the SKU Management Configuration option 'Value List'
is blank, the /CV command line compiler switch lets you
define the SKU 'Value List' for 'Combo entry with list of
values (single-select)' and 'List entry with list of values
(multi-select)' SKU entry types by passing a list of items
separated by a vertical bar ("|").

CHANGE : IDE: If the SKU Management Configuration option 'Value List'
is defined, the /CV command line compiler switch lets you
select one item in the SKU 'Value List' for 'Combo entry
with list of values (single-select)' and one or multiple
items in the 'List entry with list of values (multi-select)'
SKU entry types by passing a list of items separated by a
vertical bar ("|").

CHANGE : [SB#203081] The "Get INI Value..." script function can
retrieve values up to 10KB.

CHANGE : IDE: Minor modifications in the internal thread communication
management to avoid possible deadlock scenarios when starting
the IDE or opening and closing projects. This should fix the
"Warning: The IDE was unable to start thread #X." issue
(especially on Windows 8).

CHANGE : Remanifested pkey.exe code-sign helper to provide Windows 8
"Consumer Preview" compatibility.

CHANGE : Recompiled wupdate.exe web update client to provide Windows 8
"Consumer Preview" compatibility.

CHANGE : Recompiled wucheck.exe web update check client to provide
Windows 8 "Consumer Preview" compatibility.

CHANGE : Updated online help (CHM and PDF).

REGRESSION : [SB#203091] Installer: The shortcut for a non-executable file
installed to the 32-bit 'Program Files' folder on 64-bit
operating systems displayed a blank icon. Before calling the
SetIconLocation API to set the location (path and index) of the
icon for a Shell link object on x64 operating systems when
running in 32-bit mode, convert the a 'Program Files' folder
item for .exe files only to an environment variable to work
around a Windows x64 bug.
