EXTRA INFORMATION



COMPRESS.EXE

SetupBuilder provides the facility to compress files before they are placed
on your installation suite disks. In order to use this facility, the
Microsoft COMPRESS.EXE program is required. This is not supplied with
SetupBuilder, but you will probably already have it as part of Visual Basic
or DOS.
In order for SetupBuilder to use COMPRESS.EXE, COMPRESS.EXE must be in the
SetupBuilder directory, your Windows directory or a directory pointed to by
the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.



PAYMENT FOR SOFTWARE

You can pay for Setup Builder in a number of ways: you can post me a cheque
of the value mentioned on the application main screen to my home address.
Alternatively, you can pay via Compuserve. Compuserve has facility whereby
shareware authors can register their software. If a piece of software is
registered in the Compuserve database, then an automated payment system is
available.
This provides an easy way to pay for Shareware software, particularly for
overseas users.
To access the Compuserve payment system, GO SWREG. Setup Builder's

KNOWN PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS

Following is a list of reported problems and the solutions.


'This application uses CTL3DV2.DLL, which has not been correctly installed'

Setup Builder uses CTL3DV2.DLL to provide a '3d' appearance to all controls
in dialogs. CTL3DV2.DLL is a Microsoft product and expects to be installed
in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If it is not, then the above error
results.
The Setup program for Setup Builder installs CTL3DV2.DLL in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
If you receive this error then another copy of the .DLL must have been
found, probably in your \WINDOWS directory or a directory in your path.
It is suggested that you only have one copy of CTL3DV2.DLL on your machine
to avoid this error.
Note that the application can be run perfectly successfully even if the
above message does appear.


'This software has not been installed correctly. Please re-run the
installation procedure'

Setup Builder uses a technique of coded serial numbers in order to determine
the expiry date of a review (unregistered) copy of the software.
It is possible that you have installed the application perfectly correctly
and you still receive this error when you run the application. In this
case, it is due to a bug in version 3.06. You will also receive this error
if you tamper with certain entries in the .INI file.
The solution is to delete \WINDOWS\BUILDER.INI and reinstall the software
the next day. Better still, obtain the latest version of the software
since this bug has now been fixed.
