Show message on Developer machine only

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

Thought I'd post this little tip

In a WebUpdate install I need to make sure that I remember to update
certain things, compiler variables etc. etc. every time I release a
new build. So I decided to use SB5 to do that automatically for me.

In the "Initialize Setup" section I put this code, right after the
#include script "Common Definitions.sbi":

Set Variable %DEVMODE% to GetIni("Location") from MySB5Setup.ini
If %DEVMODE% Equals "1" Then
Display Message Box "Remember to check ..." -- "Developer Mode"
End

Then I created a the MySB5Setup.ini file in my windows directory that
contains:

[Location]
Location=1

Since this INI ONLY exists on _MY_ development machine whatever is
conditioned to show up if %DEVMODE% = 1 will only ever show up on my
machine.

If you feel better about using the registry, then by all means use the
registry
