NEWS AND RUMORS

MSDE 2000 SP3 Installation and Update Hints

After the SQLSlammer outbreak Microsoft has rushed out Service Pack 3 for MSDE 2000. In case of the full SQL Server the server administrator is responsible for installing the latest service packs and security fixes. But if your software installs MSDE 2000, it is your task to distribute the update to your customers. End users will typically not be able to install the update, and may not even be aware of the danger they are in.
InstallSite has collected information about the availability of the service pack and additional tools, and a list of tips for using and installing the update. This information is updated frequently at http://www.installsite.org/go/3011.htm

Value Pack 2 for InstallShield AdminStudio

InstallShield has released a second value pack as free update for AdminStudio users. Double-Byte Character Support has been added for repackaging localized legacy applications. During Conversion, the Legacy Conversion Wizard will use the language codepage of the Operating System that the application was repackaged under. The matching language pack must be installed to have a localized UI in the built MSI package. For the Professional edition the value pack also adds a new Bulk Import feature that allows you to import multiple Windows Installer (MSI) packages, and associated transforms from the command line, or scripted INI file. This allows for scheduled rebuilding or additions to the ConflictSolver database. In addition, some bugs have been fixed. For details see the release notes. To obtain the value pack select Check for Updates from the Help menu.

Service Pack 1 and Hotfix for InstallShield Professional 7

InstallShield has released an update for Professional 7.0. Besides bugs fixes this service pack significantly improves single exe (self extracting) media, media encryption and password protection. It even includes a password dialog. The service pack includes the previously released hotfix and updated Windows CE object. It is available free of charge for users of Professional 7.0x. To obtain the new version select "Check for Updates" from the Online menu. For more details see the release notes.
After installing Service Pack 1 for InstallShield Professional 7.0, ISPIde.exe may crash during conversion of projects created with versions 5.x or 6.x. InstallShield has now published a hotfix to solve this problem. The bug was introduced with SP1, so users of Professional 7.00 without service pack are not affected by the problem. The hotfix can be downloaded by selecting Check for Updates from the Online menu, or from knowledge base article Q107893.

RTPatch Pro 7 Released

PocketSoft released a new version of their patching tool that supports both Windows Installer (MSI) as well as legacy setups. Based on more than 10 years of experience RTPatch Pro 7 adds value to Windows Installer technology by replacing Microsoft's MSI 2.0 patch creation engine with Pocket Soft's proprietary RTPatch BUILD engine. RTPatch Pro 7 is fully compatible with Windows Installer as it produces .MSP files. For more information visit the Pocket Soft homepage and read their FAQ about Windows Installer and RTPatch.
