Hi TJ,
Nice to see you on the list. i think we need two installers, one for 32
bits and one for 64 bits. They should be named bb_setup_32.exe and
bb_setup_64.exe
Can you provide a link to the inno site and a copy of the script that
generates the installer.
On further thought I realize that the installer is too big to attach to
an e-mail message, even if zipped. You can post a link to new versions
on the list, however.
Thanks,
John
