NeoBook 5.6 Beta Released!

[Viviana]

Installed the program in a new directory:

- no problem on install;
- no "Quick Tour" invitation;
- on first launch, imediately assumed last files opened with previous version (still installed and running)
- all files open correctly
- running and compiling OK
- the program immediately assumed the Plugins installed in the other version of Neobook

Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition - service pack 2 (european portuguese version)

Thanks for the new features my favorites are
- comment/uncomment
- word wrap in action editor
- debugger look
- debugger -> long variables as tooltips
- new icons style
... I'm sure I am forgetting a few...

There is still a little detail: altough I configured the publication's language to portuguese, when I check tue program's properties in Windows explorer the language is always shown as English (U.S.)

Congratulations for the great job

Renaming reg key worked for me, no more Quick Tour invitation, and last used pub is re-openend

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NeoSoft\NeoBook 5

Try renaming it to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NeoSoft\NeoBook 5 Old

But I think this could only be a workaraund, as there is no serial shown now, and I think the Beta works maybe without that.

When I change the registry, no more plugins are installed and I have to re-install/register everything. Don't like to do that...

Pub made after installing 5.6 beta on Vista 32-bit system (home premium) won't run at all (F9).

Error message: "NeoBook_v5_Test_Publication!!! has stopped working. A problem made the program stop functioning as it should. The program will be closed, and you will be notified if a solution is available. (Close)"

No solution available.

Same with the HangMan sample pub distributed with version 5.5.

Same country, same problem. Vista 32 Bit - SP1
I startet NeoBook, got the Tour question - clicked No

Emty pub :
- clicked Run (this page only) and got the error above
- clicked Run (from start) and got the error above
- clicked Run (from this page ) and got the error above

I compiled a pub on Vista and got the error above
I copied it to win xp sp3 and it worked as it should

event log :

Untitled (Test).exe
5.6.0.32767

- the same error as domino got ... I think

Renaming the registry section is just a temporary solution. Beta 2, due this week, will include a permanent fix.

I'm not seeing the Vista error here, but it may have something to do with the security software used to protect the pub exe. We'll try something different in beta 2.

Hello, a newbie here but many thanks for an excellent program. Just a message to say that I also get the same problem with the "Quick Tour" invitation, but with XP SP3. I did install the beta in a different folder to to the non beta version.

I'm using Win XP SP3 and it is working fine. If I change in the preferences it does not show the Quick Tour or Last Project any more.

My Loop command stopped working too when I used the "Insert Action" command:
You fill all the fields, and when Neobook inserts the code for you the last line is
EndLoop
instead of
ExitLoop
Try to change the command and see if it works

In another existing pub, this code no longer works:

ListBoxDeleteItem "listbox1" "all"

SetVar "[rtinputvar1]" "[pubdir]templates"
SetVar "[rtinputvar2]" "templates.dat"
rtFolderList

FileLen "templates.dat" "[flen]"
Loop "1" "[flen]" "[x]"
FileRead "templates.dat" "[x]" "[templatename]"
StrParse "[templatename]" "" "[name]" "[numparsed]"
ListBoxAddItem "listbox1" "0" "[name5]"

endloop
...

It's supposed to be endloop, at the end of a loop.
