SetupBuilder 7.1 Release Announcement

We are pleased to announce SetupBuilder 7.1. This release is available,
free of charge, to all SetupBuilder customers who have an active
SetupBuilder maintenance and support subscription plan.

The update contains several enhanced features and important bug fixes. We
strongly recommend that all customers upgrade to the latest version of
SetupBuilder as soon as possible to maintain the highest level of support,
performance and reliability.

Any organization planning to move its applications to the Windows 7 platform
will be able to use SetupBuilder to comply with this new industry standard.
Version 7.1 includes new and enhanced functionality that will further reduce
the time needed by software developers and systems administrators to create
installations and distribute them to end user desktops in any Windows
environment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEATURE : IDE: Add "#exe2msi..." compiler directive to wrap native .exe
installations up as an MSI.

the new Windows 7 taskbar is the capability to "pin"

times for easy access. Instead of cluttering your desktop,
browsing your "Program Files" folder or clicking through the
Start menu, your users can launch your apps from the taskbar
with one click.
