BInding %ProductVer% to an .exe in the project

[alec]

Thanks, I can certainly give it a try.

What does a build constant file build.ini file look like? Is it just the Build constant followed by the value you want to change? example:

I'm using SUF 9.5.3

I have a setup project with several .EXE files in it. One of those .EXE files is the primary program of the project setup file release. Right now when I copy my new program EXE into my distribution folder and launch SUF the project loads and shows my files properly...

Solved the Problem



I solved the problem so I figured that I would share the answer so as to try to save others from the same frustration.

Silent Setup

OK, that seems reasonable. Is it then necessary to have that INI file located in the same directory as the SETUP? IOW, ultimately what my customers want to do is place the setup on a server, then send all the employees a link to the setup file, that when clicked upon will...

Hi,

I have a setup that provides for many different installation options of my database software. I have a few customers with a very large # of computers that must be individually updated. Since I don't always know what setting they use or need it is difficult for me to create a silent...
