Next Version SetupBuilder 7 ?!

[dbuechel]

Hey,

i test your SetupBuilder 6 Developer - and i must say - very good program !!!

We use the Wise Installation System Professional 9 - and i must use the function "Compiler Variable"

SetupBuilder 6 have that too !

Question: When comes the new version from setupBuilder 7 ?

I need the function:

Visual Dialog Editor (Developer Edition). The Visual Dialog Editor (VDE) lets you create custom dialog displayed by your installation. This gives developers even more control over installations.

thx

PS: sorry for my bad english (germany)

i test the Wep Update function

in the helpfile:

All your files are now located in the \Web subfolder. Upload your installation file (e.g. myapp_101.exe) and the Server Manifest File (e.g. myapp.ini) to your web server.

i cant find the Server Manifest File !

what i must do ?

[andrea]

Hello,

You have defined the name of that file in Web Deployment -> Live Application Update -> Enable Web Update. Then in the property sheet to the right, see "Server Manifest File" field.

Does this help?

Question:

What is the different from #compiler variable and #const variable ?

in the script is for the feature this:
:efine Feature "New Feature 1" (New Feature 1)

i can do

#ifconst $TEST$ Equals "0" Then
:efine Feature "New Feature 3" (New Feature 3) -- Parent Feature: "New Feature 2"
#end

how can disable in the details "Install by Default" by script ?
the function:
Visible
[in] If you set it to Yes, the feature and its children is displayed (reserved for future use).
^^ when does this work ?

Hello,

A constant differs in that it cannot be reassigned a new value after initialization. The value of compiler variables can change.

You cannot disable "Install by Default" programmatically.

The "Visible" option is already used in the .msi compiler (alpha testing started this month).

Does this help?

not good

in our WiseScript i have over 100 compiler variables - and our install is very individual for the enduser - when i doesn´t disable "Install by Default" or invisible .....

a Bug ?!

the webupdate program doesn´t work with this filename:

Your Project Name-4.exe

with this name:

project.exe

works ^^

we use a linux-server

[linder]

Hmm, just checked this here and it seems to work fine. We created a web installation named Your Project Name-4.exe. We uploaded the files to a Linux server and the web installation worked fine. The web update checked for a new version (which is not available).

What kind of error is reported?

Thanks,
Friedrich

[linder]

Okay, we even created a web update now and it works without any problem.

The web install that initializes the web update feature is named "Your Project Name-4.exe". The web update is named "Your Project Name-4a.exe".

Works without any problem on our Apache servers. And we have not received any similar reports (about 60% of our customers are using Linux based servers) so I think it is safe to say that it's not a bug in SetupBuilder
