Hi I have several setups containing hundreds of single files with different destinations. The current list view in Setup Factory with all its listed files is quite confusing. It would be great if the list could be switched to a tree view (Win Explorer like), where we can see in which...

...when the project is not opened directly via a double-click. If the SUF8.2 is opened first and the project is loaded after inside SUF, all added files shines red, having status "missing". Seems that SUF8.2 does not get the initial directory when opening the project file. So all relative...

Hi When I remove the Is64Bit check on the dialog's "On Pre Load" tab, the code after is executed. But: If I leave the check, all following code lines are just ignored. :huh if (System.Is64BitOS) then else -- not executed end

Hi, using using SUF 8.2.2.0 It would be nice to add also folders to the Primer Files tab. If adding a primer folder a dialog for changing the properties should be avail. Something like it is used in "Folder Reference Properties", with "Recurse subfolders", "File mask" and "Destination". The...

Hi, I would like to customize the message when a sf installer is initializing... :cool

Hi, using using SUF 8.2.2.0 I use custom ErrorCode numbers with Application.SetLastError() and check with Application.GetLastError(). But if I use _tblErrorMessages to display an error message, _tblErrorMessages returns a nil value and the script stops. So I always have to care about...

Hi, using SUF 8.2.2.0 I have to create the subfolder "Start menu > AppFolder > Tools" to add some shortcuts. Actually I have to check the Custom entry and enter a string like %StartProgramsFolderCommon%\%AppShortcutFolderName%\%TOOLS%

Hi, using SUF 8.2.2.0 It would be nice to have the dialog Project/Languages/Settings sorted alphabetically by the Language column. Sometimes I have to reload a language again, bacause we made some fixes at not useful localisations. The reloaded language is placed at the end of the list. Up to...

Hello, I ran into a small problem with SUF. I created a package with AMS and created an installer using SUF 8. The installer installs the program to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Installed package\program.exe" I have created custom icons for the installed programs, they are located at "C:\Program...

Hi all, Maybe I just missed something... or maybe not. Once a project is compiled and stands as a single .exe file, when I right-click and select Details under Properties it shows the original filename for the installer as SUF80_launch.exe. I also use AMS 8 and when I configure it, the...

Hello dear IndigoRose developpers and staff, And congratulations for your valuable software. :yes In my case, i have been looking forward buying the Setup Factory Software, but ... But one feature that seems to me very easy to implement is a TOP requirement for my business. :rolleyes In short...

Hi, using SUF 8.2.2.0 up to now dependency modules have to live within '#SUFDIR#\Dependencies' folder to be shown and added whit the "Add Dependency Module" dialog. We have some custom defined dependency modules in a common used network area, and I previously have to copy them into the...

Hi, using SUF 8.2.2.0 I need to know which languages are supported by the setup. Today I'm using Application.SetInstallLanguage to detect if a language is supported by the setup. My suggestion table Application.GetSupportedInstallLanguages()

Hi, using SUF 8.2.2.0 Sometimes we have to add a new language, with only a few text strings localized or there are some not so usefull localisations within the SUF delivered XML-files that we want to have changed. For that case the files now resides on a common network drive to grant access...

During initial install load; the log file needs to go somewhere, either the windows folder or temp folder. it would be nice to be able to move the log file to a new location. I know i can move it with File.Move() but any subsequent writes go to the original location... What I've been doing...

I'm doing some work for a friend in a remote station -- ie; satellite phones & expensive data rates. Would be nice to be able to separate out the static (ie: the actual setup.exe) from the data (file archives & scripts) to reduce size. Such that I could send setup.exe to them initially, then send...

Hi, This is a minor bug, but I can't find it reported anywhere else so I thought I'd tell you about it. Create a SUF8 project with multiple files. Make sure that one of the columns being viewed is "Package" (use "View -> Columns" to change). Add in two packages. Add multiple files to...

Hi, Can we have a standard global variable name for the Build Configuration that is used to build an install file. My apologies if this exists but I cannot find it in the docs or by searching the forums. SUF supports multiple build configs (which is good) and allows files to be...

It is currently not possible to add you installed application to the system path without a primer file to send the refresh environment message to windows. I think this should be built into the installer to be able to set any environment variable without having to use the registry. If the...

It would be nice to have a radio button to select "current user" or "all users" for the uninstall shortcut. here's the reason: The administrator logs in and installs the application "for all users". An uninstall shortcut is created. However, admin rights is required to uninstall. If the...

Having had recently to update our installers to handle 64bit versions of the OSes, it would be great if SetupFactory could a) list the 64-bit variants of OSes in the properties of a file (under Conditions:Operating systems) so we can say install this file for 64 bit but not 32 bit. b)...

Hi, It would be 'really nice' :) if we could parameterise the name of the Build log when running in the SUF8 GUI. At the moment all that we have is a 'Build Log' button on the "Publish Wizard - Finished" screen. Click that and you get a text file created with a name that includes the current...
