I am rolling out FinalBuilder to several people and I would like to automate setting the options to work in our environment but here is the problem I ran into. I wrote a FB project that modified the FinalBuilder.ini file but when FB exits it over writes my changes. Are the Optins available as FB variables or is there some other way to do this through FB?
Hi Dale,
Which options are you trying to set? Have a look in the help file under Automating FinalBuilder and you’ll see what the command line options for FBCMD and FinalBuilder.exe.

I want set the following:
Set Default Project File Format to Uncompressed.
Uncheck all the “Reset Variables when” items.
Set Email Host.
There are others but this is a first pass list.
I want to beable to set these when I install FB. Currently this are only available on the Option tab and are not variables in FB. I have noticed you store the settings in the FinalBuilder.ini file that is in the users Application Data folder but it gets over written when FB exits.
Dale,
hmmm, I see what you mean. I think the only way you’re going to be able to set these is to make sure you do so when FinalBuilder isn’t running.
I suppose one way you could do it is to make you’re own installer which runs the FinalBuilder installer (maybe using the quiet mode) and then a file copy for the FinalBuilder4.ini file.
