InstallShield 2012 Location not saved

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

We're in the process of upgrading our installers to InstallShield 2012. When we tried to convert our build process to the new version we hit an issue, that the FB IDE does not appear to be saving the InstallShield 2012 IsCmdBld.exe location.

The location can be set, and appers to be present in the file when relaunching the options -dialog, but after re-launching the application it's gone, and therefore any build trying to use it via FBS does not work.

Hi

Thanks for reporting this. I have checked in a fix and will send you a new build with a new fix shortly.

Here is the build with the fix included: https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/aex6/FB700_1633.exe

Can you please confirm that this solves the problem?

Basically the setting is saved now, but we're unable to verify that it operates correctly from a build runnign from FinalBuilder Server, as the following error happens in our build script now, before it can build the installer:

An Unhandled Exception occured in Action : Build VS.Net Solution [ %A_PROJECT_SOURCE_PATH%\%A_PROJECT_NAME%.sln ]

Hi

Could you please try uninstalling FinalBuilder and then re-installing. This looks like something may have been corrupted during the upgrade to the build that I sent you.

Please let me know if after the fresh install, you continue to see this error.

Regards,
Steve
