Build 321 has a hotfix for build 320 which crashed if you used 'Show Launch Process Window on Startup'.

You can grab the build from the Product page or use the Update button in the Options Window of Startup Delayer.

Changes in this build:

Fixed crash on startup when you use 'Show Launch Process Window on Startup'

Startup Delayer version 3.0 build 320 released

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:04:51 PST

Build 320 has no more Custom controls which were previously causing random crashes and other instability on user's machines.

This means that the Interface has moved back to traditional Windows controls and will look a little different to previous builds. You'll also notice there are no longer any skins supported. Startup Delayer will just use whatever Windows skin you have applied.

You can grab the build from the Product page or use the Update button in the Options Window of Startup Delayer.

Changes in this build:

Modified AutoUpdate to keep checking when an update is found and only revert to delayed checking after an update. This helps keep users up to date
Added error prompt when unable to gain access when writing a file and updated the existing localization
Fixed serialization bug when setting idle values to 0
Updated all of the Startup Delayer project to completely remove all Krypton controls
Updated all of the Startup Launcher project to completely remove all Krypton controls
Threaded the initialization of the Timers so that Startup Launcher starts up faster
Updated the Install process to remove more old files
Fixed Zip codepage for the SDXmlUpgrader
Updated all Forms to ensure they support 120dpi
Fixed Install upgrade from 2.x removing Local machine Run entry

Startup Delayer version 3.0 build 319 released

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:33:09 PST

Build 319 has a completely rewritten Serialization system. I've moved away from Microsoft's XmlSerializer in favour of versioned Binary files. If you were exeriencing crashes due to code generation or permissions on the temp folder these have now all been fixed.

During installation Build 319 will upgrade all of your existing data files from xml to bin. A backup will be created in case there are any issues.

You can grab the build from the Product page or use the Update button in the Options Window of Startup Delayer.

Changes in this build:

Fixed generation of xml runtime classes by switching to a binary storage system
Updated all existing xml serialization code to use binary serialization instead
Created new SDXmlUpgrader project that gets run during installation
