Hello,

1) When I downloaded and installed SetupBuilder 5 - I ended up with
Developer and Professional installed. Which one do I use?

2) When I click on Check for Updates. I get a message "sbuilder.exe is
currently running. Please close the SetupBuilder IDE and click OK to
continue" - Can I recommend removing the word "IDE" and changing it to
"Program". Any novice user has no clue what "IDE" means.

Also, this is what appeared after I downloaded the update.

See attached. :-) I know I have to hit finish - but this screen surely
looks like it is missing telling me that I am finished.

Robert,

Hmm, can you reproduce this? I have never seen this before. Quite a few
users updated to the latest build but I have not received a similar bug
report.

Are you running XP?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Hi,

Running XP Professional - SP2

I believe it is a Clarion issue, not a SB issue ... as I think the system
didn't paint the screen. Hmmmmmmm.

-Robert

Robert,

We have developed our own setup compiler so it's not a Clarion issue.

When did that happen? Did you download the *FULL* SB5 Pro build #1130, or
did you press "Check for Updates" from within your SB5 Pro build #1124?

Thanks,
Friedrich

I pressed Check for Updates. It ran. While it was running, I went to
another window to do something else. When I came back, that is all I saw on
my screen.

So, that is why I think it is a screen painting issue.

The problem is that even the dialog title is empty.

Just to be on the safe side...

1. You pressed "Check for Updates"
2. A wizard told you there was a new version available.
3. You pressed OK to download the new installer
4. A message told you that SB5 is active and asked you to
terminate the IDE.
5. The installer updated your system
6. Bang... empty dialog, right?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Exactly - you are thinking the same as me.

It said to close down the Setupbuilder IDE ... I pressed ok about 20 times
till I figured out I had to do it myself. :-) --- Then I closed it down.
Then, it ran .... while it was running, I went into Outlook Express.

I came back and I found that screen on my computer ... so I pasted it in
PaintBrush cuz I knew you wanted to see it.

That's about it. The update installed and applied successfully by the way
without issues.

Robert,

Did you "minimize" the WebUpdate wizard dialog?

Thanks,
Friedrich
