First of all, I must say I have been quite disappointed. Things that used to work in FB 6 do not all work in FB 7. Also I have some issues that have been working in FB 4 which never worked in FB 6 nor in FB 7. This is quite frustrating.
But in general I find the quality of FB 7 a big disappointment. Writing the build projects has never been very much fun and it has turned even less so.
Anyway, I managed to get the build running, but this one I cannot solve:
I entered the project in FB Server 7 (just installed it, build 178.)
My project is reading settings from an iniFile which is configured to lie in %FBPROJECTDIR%.
Now when run from the server, it tries to read the file from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VSoft\FBServer7\ProjectFiles\
How do I fix that?
And FB Server 7 keeps logging me out every five seconds if I am not active...

Sorry to hear that you’re finding FinalBuilder 7 such a big disappointed, if you’d care to go into more detail about what problems you’re having we may be able to help.

On the manage project files page, when you select to upload the project file to the server the project file is placed in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VSoft\FBServer7\ProjectFiles directory, if you’d prefer to run the project file from a certain location then you’ll need to select the ‘specify the path to the project file’ option.

Are you using more then one machine to access the web interface, the only time a user will be logged out automatically is when you log into the web interface from more then a single machine.
You didn't say which build of FinalBuilder 7 you are using. There have been a few updates since the initial release.
With regards to the focus issue with the script editor... this should be resolved, the issue is caused by the tab control setting the focus on it's first child control when it gets the focus. I have worked around it for now and future builds should behave better.
I'm not able to reproduce the scripting property issues.. are you able to narrow it down to a small example that shows the problem? Or just try and describe the problem with more details so we can see if we can reproduce it.
As for the upgrade from FBServer 6 to 7, I think we could do a better job, however we will never be able to make everyone happy.. a lot of users don't want everything converted in one go, and want to run 6 & 7 side by side and migrate slowly.
This build from today has the script editor fix included (plus all the other fixes since the last update) :
Please try this build and see if it resolves the scripting issues you are seeing. We are planning on releasing an official update next week, it was going to be out today but we are just waiting on some new actions to completed, didn't quite get them done in time.
