January 14, 2001 - VBSW 2.00 Release Version 2 is now available!
January 9, 2001 - VBSW 2.00 BETA This new release has a TON of new features. Fully customizable autorun dialog (you can specify a background and button images), fully customizable system component checking portion, and a bunch of other 'under the hood' improvements. For full details, check the documentation.
August 19, 2000 I am working on VBSW version 2.0. The new version should have the following features:
  • Customizable system components - you can specify the DLL you want checked. (So you can install different versions of MDAC, VB runtime, IE, etc.
  • NT Service Pack level check and install
  • Graphical buttons with OnMouseOver and OnMouseClick button images you can specify
  • Sizable 'autorun' dialog
  • Debugging mode which will specify components checked to a log file
If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know by sending feedback. If you'd like to test it when ready, send feedback as well, letting me know. When will it be ready? Probably not for another month or so (or longer...).
August 1, 2000 - VBSW Version 1.01
  • Fixed code to check for Windows Installer version 1.1 (was checking for 1.0)
  • Added support for updating comctl32.dll (via 50comupd.exe - see docs)
July 25, 2000 I'm not going to promise future features, but I am working on another version that will allow you to specify, in an INI file, all the system components and corresponding versions you would like updated. ETA? I'm not sure.
