Converting project from 5.5.0.627 to 6.3.01916

FinalBuilder Discussion

I have a FB project which was built using 5.5.0. The project had contents in the .fbd .fbv files.

Since I needed Installshield 2010 suport that was not available in 5.5.0, I uninstalled this version and installed the 6.3.0 evaluation version. The convertion of the project showed no errors and displayed success message.

However after saving the new fbz6 project , the .fbpinf file contains only the contents of .fbv and not .fbd. As a result of this, the build fails when I run the new converted project. The contents of .fbd are many to maually enter into the new format in .fpinf file. Has anybody else seen this problem ?

Note that the "Win32 Version Numbers" and "Win32 Version Info" types of PropertySet data was stored in the .fbd file.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi

This is a bug, I have uploaded a build with the fix :

https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/630/FB630_1957.exe

Please note you will need to delete the .fbpinf file that FB6 would have created when you first loaded the project into FB6, otherwise it will not re-import the data from the fbv & fbd files that belong to your FB5 project.

Thanks for the fix. However this new version has a different problem.

I opened the project that has been converted from 5.5. to 6.3.0.1916 in 6.3.0.1957. The action item that can launch another fbp6 file has a problem. See attached picture.

The same project works fine in 6.3.0.1916

There is still problems converting projrects from 5.5 to 6.3

The propertysets in .fbd are converted as action ids in the .fbpinf

The contents of .fbv in .fppinfo do not contain the value in the CDATA section

See attachment below

This build includes the fix for property sets :

I wasn’t able to reproduce the problem with variables( and your attachment was illegible).

Here is the attachment again. Hope this is more legible.

The contents of the CDATA section are not imported correctly. There is no value in it.
