Several languages are already available and you can easily modify/create yours. · password protect or digitally sign your packages to increase the security of your files. · select between three efficient file compression methods: Zip, 7-Zip and Cabinet! · include uninstallers to remove changes performed by your packages. · package up multimedia presentations, several MSI or INF-based setups and even traditional setup programs into compact executable files. · optionally write directives to automate the creation of your packages.

What's New in This Release:
· new fast memory manager for Paquet Builder and packages.· new 7-Zip compression system based on 7-Zip 4.42 (latest stable release). As this is a new implementation, please report any problem.· fixed Windows Vista problems (slow menus).· new options for the UAC feature in Windows Vista.· new option to check whether a user has administrative/power user rights.· minor updates to support Windows Vista.· package interface engine updated; packages now use the Segoe UI font on Windows Vista, and Tahoma (when available) on other Windows versions (except some dialog boxes).· compression ratio now displayed for 7-Zip and Cabinet too.· fixed bug with both silent mode and wizard-style enabled.· the Stop button is now correctly hidden with wizard-style packages.· the "Cancel" button is now labeled "Stop".· the System Close button is now disabled when the "Stop" button is hidden.· new file extraction option: you can now replace in-use (locked) files at Windows startup.· new variable: %NEEDREBOOT% that indicates whether the system should be restarted when the package closes (informative only).· new custom action: "Restart Computer" that causes the system to be restarted when the package closes.· resources strings are now optimized: only resource strings used in scripts are compiled, making packages smaller (an option is available to disable this behavior).· new resource strings: #Stop, #ErrorPowerUserRequired, #ErrorAdminRequired· new variable: %TOTALEXTFILE% which indicates the number of files that were unpacked. A value of "0" means that the extraction failed.· new option for the final dialog box: it can be avoided if the file extraction was not successful.· new variable: %SILENT% to enable/disable silent mode at runtime. Great if you wish to read the %PARAMS% for a switch (i.e. "/s") and make a package silent at run-time.· standard interface: it is now possible to hide the buttons 'About' (Start dialog) and 'Homepage' (End dialog), if the corresponding setting contains #Blank.· standard interface: default buttons in dialogs are now correctly defined.· new NextCaption property for "Show an information panel" that allows you to define the text for the Next button.· new variable %PBDLGNEXTC% to define the text for the Next button in wizard-style packages.· new integrity check for packages with CRC32 (in addition to size check): you can now ensure your package has not been corrupted or altered before extracting its files.· digital signature: introduced support for SignTool (signtool.exe) as SignCode (signcode.exe) is now deprecated. It also works with PFX files and you can pass its password too (useful for automated builds).· Warning: signcode.exe, signtool.exe, chktrust.exe are not shipped with Paquet Builder. You can obtain them in the Windows SDK (see the help file for further information).· "Check digital signature" is now based on SignTool.· enhanced Live Update: the feature can now remove non-existing files from file lists. Real synchronization with folders is thus possible.· improved resource string and variable managers.· "Write text to a file" CA: the contents is no more limited to 256 characters only.· updated uninstaller engine.· note: the uninstaller can be silently run if you pass "1" as the parameter (see help).· fixed: for uninstallers, turning off "Append uninstall data to an existing log" would not work.· updated MSI plug-in to support Windows Installer 3.0 and further. Several changes were made by Microsoft to the MSI bootstrapper so the MSI plug-in takes account of these changes.· removed help center.· fixed: if not specified, some parameters of directive files were set to blank values instead of taking account of the values from the project template.· fixed: log file is only saved after a compilation.· new directive options.· fixed several minor memory leaks.· new environment options.· updated help files.· updated Web Update.· updated language files.· new license agreement.· new software protection.· several other minor improvements and bug fixes.· Compatibility:· Warning: the "custom" compression mode for 7-Zip was removed. · Language files should be updated (new resource strings will be automatically added).· New variables are automatically added.· SignCode.exe is superseded by SignTool. When loading a project, if the "sign package" option is turned on, Paquet Builder will automatically enable the "Use old SignCode.exe..." environment option, for compatibility reasons. Please see the help topic for further explanation.· The MSI plug-in has new parameters (see above)....
