    Default SetupBuilder 2019.2 Available

    All,

    we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of SetupBuilder
    2019.2, the latest edition of our distribution and deployment tool for
    Windows based applications.

    Developer Edition now includes "SBRemote Deploy 1.0". This new product
    makes it easy to deploy SetupBuilder "push-enabled" packages over a local
    area network (LAN). The deployments are done silently, which means the
    person on the receiving PC does not need to do anything on their end. The
    remote software installations will not disturb the end users with windows or
    dialogs and won't interrupt their workflow.

    More information and videos are coming soon! But already check out the new
    "SBRemoteDemo1.sbp" and "SBRemoteDemo2.sbp" source code examples in the
    Examples Package.

    The new built-in "Microsoft .NET Core Runtime 2.2.2 (x86, x64)" Core
    PreRequisites are the first runtimes to support SBRemote Deploy!

    This new SetupBuilder version is available, free of charge, to all customers
    who have an active SetupBuilder Maintenance and Support Plan. The update
    contains brand new features, tons of enhancements, important bug fixes and
    stability improvements. The easiest way to obtain this version is to click
    'Help' > 'Check for Updates' and 'Help' > 'Check for Documentation Updates'
    in the SetupBuilder IDE.

    If you do not have an active subscription plan, please contact your account
    manager at sales@lindersoft.com.

    We strongly recommend that all customers upgrade to the new build of
    SetupBuilder 2019 as soon as possible to maintain the highest level of
    support, performance and reliability.

    Special thanks to Wolfgang Kirsch - without your help SBRemote Deploy would
    not have been possible! THANK YOU!

    action. The default internal retry value has been increased
    from 1 to 2.

    NEW : Installer: In case of a failed Web Install download action, the
    installer runtime re-initializes the WinSock component after
    waiting for 50 milliseconds.

    NEW : Installer: Mixed Non-SSL and SSL Web Install and "Download
    File (HTTP)..." script actions are supported from the same
    installer now.

    Loop.

    properties (Advanced Tab).

    I/O operations. If the path does not exist, the application
    creates it.

    NEW : [SB#9-03081] Installer: The SSL/TLS feature supports Server

    networking protocol by which the client indicates the hostname
    it is attempting to connect to at the start of the handshaking
    process.

    NEW : IDE: Add HTTP_DISABLE_SNI #pragma to disable the Server Name
    Indication (SNI) SSL/TLS feature.

    NEW : The WUCHECK_SSL.EXE and WUPDATE_SSL.EXE clients support Server
    Name Indication (SNI) by default.

    FIX : [SB#9-01141] Installer: Possible SSL initialization issue.

    FIX : IDE: The conversion process from older SetupBuilder project
    files to script format #5452 (build March 13, 2017) caused
    an internal General Information property inconsistency. The
    conversion process to script format #6156 fixes this.

    FIX : IDE: Fix possible Script "File | Structure Validation" issue.

    FIX : Installer: A password protected install running in silent mode
    always changes to non-silent mode to display the Password
    dialog. The silent mode change did not update the internal
    installer flag ($SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$) status.

    FIX : [SB#9-02171] Installer: When using the "/X" command line switch
    (in combination with the "/S" silent mode switch) to set the
    target installation folder and there was a trailing backslash
    in the path, the command line argument interpreter added an
    invalid ending quote (").

    FIX : [SB#8-12111] IDE: Under certain circumstances, the (command
    line) compiler did not detect insufficience disk space. As a
    result, it created a corrupt installer .exe.

    FIX : [SB#8-12111] IDE: Under certain circumstances, the LSPack
    compression library did not detect a write data stream file
    error.

    FIX : IDE: Under certain circumstances, an incorrect project filename
    was displayed in the "Do you want to convert?" message box.

    FIX : Possible buffer-overrun in the evutil.exe IDE Elevation Helper
    Tool when processing new maintenance keys for the Remote
    Deploy product.

    FIX : [SB#9-03081] Installer: Searching specific text from a text
    file using the "Find File" function under the "Handle Text File
    Operations..." script action returned incorrect line numbers
    when doing multiple search operations. It returned the
    incremental value to the detected line from the last returned
    line number.

    FIX : Installer: The "Browse for File..." script action incorrectly
    displayed the variable name (e.g. %VAR%) if the variable was
    not previously defined.

    CHANGE : Installer: The "Run Command Line..." script action returns the
    error code provided by the GetLastError Windows API if the
    CreateProcess function fails.

    CHANGE : IDE: Sort all Pragma items in the "#pragma..." directive
    alphabetically.

    CHANGE : IDE: Sort all Retrieve items in the "Get File Name..." script
    action alphabetically.

    CHANGE : Installer: The installer does not display fatal errors when
    running in silent mode (breaks unattended mode).

    CHANGE : IDE: Rename "Get System Info (Installer File Name)" script
    action to "Get System Info (Installer Path & File Name)".

    CHANGE : IDE: Rename "Get System Info (Installer Path Name)" script
    action to "Get System Info (Installer Pathname)".

    CHANGE : IDE: Rename "RTF Support" option in the "Readme Dialog" dialog
    properties (Advanced Tab) to "Enable RTF Support".

    CHANGE : IDE: Rename "Display in Silent Mode" option in the "Display
    Message Box" script action to "Show in Silent Mode".

    CHANGE : IDE: Rename "Download File (HTTP)..." script action to
    "Download File (HTTPx)...".

    CHANGE : IDE: Rename "Check HTTP Connection..." script action to "Check
    HTTPx Connection...".

    CHANGE : IDE: Removed "Disable 'New Project' Wizard" option from 'Tools'
    > 'Options' > 'General'.

    CHANGE : Installer: Increase the width of the "Wait Dialog" progress bar
    (related to the "Wait Dialog" width change in build #5368).

    CHANGE : IDE: The #pragma MINVER in "Common Definitions.sbi" has been
    increased to "10.0.6187".

    CHANGE : IDE: SetupBuilder Clarion Edition number updated from "Clarion
    10 Edition" to "Clarion 11 Edition".

    CHANGE : Recompiled wupdate.exe Web Update client.

    CHANGE : Recompiled wucheck.exe Web Update Check client.

    CHANGE : Recompiled wupdate_ssl.exe Web Update client. Support for
