Binary Patching in Professional 7 Beta Test

vBuild for InstallShield Professional is a new product jointly developed by Red Bend Software and InstallShield which is currently in beta test. vBuild integrates Red Bend's software update creation technology with InstallShield Professional 7.0’s installation authoring environment. vBuild automatically transforms installation packages created with InstallShield Professional 7.0 into upgrade installations for previous versions, reducing the update size by 30%-90% over any other update tool. vBuild will also reduce your full version setups, using compression that is more powerful than ZIP (by about 40%) or CAB (by about 25%). Using vBuild, there is no need to create a separate update setup for each previous version as is necessary with the Update Authoring option of the InstallShield Professional 7.0.

Hotfix for Developer 7

InstallShield has released a hot fix for InstallShield Developer. It is recommended for all versions including 7.04, except if you're building setups for version 1.2 of the msi runtime. The hotfix addresses three issues: Standard setups occassionally fail to run on Windows NT4 SP6 target systems (IDriver crash), Standard setups are not registered properly when installed by non-administrators (fix only applied to Developer 7.0 with SP3 or greater), and Basic MSI setups using InstallScript sometimes hang during setup progress on Windows 9x target systems. Existing setups should be rebuilt after the hotfix is applied to the development system. If you select to use version 1.2 of the Windows Installer runtime instead of version 2.0 you may not want to install the hotfix - it would cause the setup progress bar to stay at 0% while the installation completes successfully.
To receive the update select Check for Updates from the Tools menu.

Service Pack 4 für installShield Developer in Deutsch

Service Pack 4 für InstallShield Developer ist jetzt auch in deutsch verfügbar. Die wesentliche Neuerung in dieser Version ist die direkte Einbindung in die Entwicklungsumgebung von Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Dadurch kann man auch die Installation erstellen, ohne die gewohnte Ugebung verlassen zu müssen, und das Setup wird automatisch an die Änderungen der Applikation angepasst. Die gewohnte Developer-IDE ist weiterhin enthalten, so dass man Developer auch ohne Visual Studio verwenden kann. Das Service Pack 4 verbessert auch die .NET Unterstützung und behebt einige Fehler. Weitere Details finden Sie in den Release Notes. Service Pack 4 ist für Anwender von Developer 7.0x kostenlos erhältlich. Um die neue Version herunter zu laden wählen Sie "Updates suchen" im "Extras" Menü.

Hotfix für Developer 7

InstallShield hat einen Hotfix für InstallShield Developer veröffentlicht.

Nach der Installation des Hotfix sollten die Release-Medien von vorhandenen Setups neu erstellt werden.
