"point. click. ship" - that's SetupBuilder 5.6

I just upgraded to this release and uploaded a install to a customer server.
The created install automatically did a reboot. I've never set it up to do
that. In fact, I don't even see a setup for that anymore.

Hi Michael,

Nothing has changed in the installer runtime! So this has nothing to do
with the new build.

Hello Friedrich,

talked earlier here ....

Not yet implemented or did I miss it in the docs please ?

Hello Jean-Pierre,

See "Command Line Options (Installer)" help topic:

/Q - Pass Quiet mode flag ($SB_QUIETMODEFLAG$) to the installer.

Does this help?

BTW, perhaps you added a "Reboot System (silent restart)" function?

I re-checked the source code and there was no installer runtime
modification in build 1648!

Michael,

Gary James told me that the same happened to him with build 1636. But it
only happened once and Gary can't reproduce it.

Are you able to reproduce the problem?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Friedrich,

Thanks for the lead
A question if you please :

I need to allow the user to change the reg key of the install if there is no
newer version to reload the latest version (mainly used when beta testing
versions with testers)

I use a simple case message now

Now that silent installs are possible how to retreive the value from
webupdate please to put my case message after that retreival is done and not
before launching the wupdate like I do now ?

Merci

JP

Jean-Pierre,

I'm not completely sure if I understand your question.

Is your question how to display a message box in silent mode or where to
call the message box?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Friedrich,

That is exactly what has happened to me. I recompiled and uploaded that to
my customer site and it works fine. Seems to be a one time thing.

Michael Gould
