We have a lot of build machines as VMWare Images. When booting up the VMWare a "masterbuild.fbp4" script is started with windows autostart. This masterbuild decides using a database entry wich special build has to run on the VMWare Image.  
  
On one VMWare machine we want to switch from FB4 to FB5, but it is not possible to run the script with the autostart.  
  
When I start the command in a cmd window, nothing happens.  
"C:\Programme\FinalBuilder 5\FinalBuilder5.exe" /n /e /r C:\BuildCenter\masterbuild.fbp4  
  
If I try a fbp5 script, it works. But I must use the fbp4 script, until all scripts for the 25 VMWare Images are converted to FB 5 and tested out.  
  
Any Idea to solve the problem?  
  
Michael

Hi Michael,  
  
You should be able to use FBCMD version 5 to run a FinalBuilder 4 project. Alternatively, I’d suggest downloading the latest FinalBuilder 4.2 release and using that until you can convert the projects.  
  
Regards,

PS I’ve moved this thread to the FinalBuilder general forum.

Hi Angus,  
  
the main reason to switch from FB4 to FB5 is to compile Delphi 2007 Projects. The FB420\_317.exe has no Action for Delphi 2007, so we must use FB5.  
Is it planned to implement a Delphi 2007 action into FB4?  
  
I’ll try to use FBCMD version 5 on the Buildmachine which must compile the new Delphi 2007 projects.  
Regards  
Michael  
  
P.S.: Why does the Checkbox “Check this if you would like to be notified when someone replies” don’t work?  
I get no mail notifiy about your reply.

Michael,  
  
Sorry, there are no plans to implement D2007 support in FB4.  
  
re: reply email. This normally works - make sure your email address is set correctly, and that your spam filter isn’t rejecting them (I think they come from [admin@finalbuilder.com](mailto:admin@finalbuilder.com)).

Hi Tate,  
  
using FBCMD version 5 works with fbp4 projects, so we can migrate step for step from FB4 to FB5.  
  
My email address is set correctly, spam filter isn’t rejecting the mails.  
No problems to get mails from [salesinfo@vsoft-tech.com.au](mailto:salesinfo@vsoft-tech.com.au)   
Can you check if mails were sent out to my email adress?  
  
Michael

Hi Michael,  
  
We don’t have any logs of what emails were sent, and we haven’t received any bounce notifications for your address. Try unsubscribing and resubscribing and see if that works.
