Yeah, that is very bad practice. The build output from one version of the compiler and build system can vary with the same source code. The building stage is essentially part of the "application" along with the source code. It should be tracked just as the same the code. Some companies have policies that even prevent the release system from ever generating different builds using the same release number to prevent this scenario. Not only do you have your own code issues handling this issue internally, now you have two different "viewer6.12.b2.exe" files that you had posted for almost two weeks on the Internet.Conrad Sallian wrote:
Hello Max,
Thank you for your suggestion.
However, this specific "bug" was just something we overlooked on the building stage rather than a bug in the program itself (related to its functionality, that is). So we decided to keep it the same number.

I understand your frustration. We updated the release dates for the beta on the site to avoid misleading, although we also had to update that for the Host (despite it wasn't changed). A note to release notes was also added.Right now, my PC has two files names "viewer6.12.b2.exe" with different file sizes. One has a digital signature signing date of May 13, and another one says May 18. The release date is May 6. The server's beta 2 has a signing time of May 5, which is what I'd expect with a May 6 release. But May 13 and May 18th? This implies that you didn't just have TWO different "viewer6.12.b2.exe" with different hashes, but (AT LEAST) THREE. Can you comment on that?

It's late here now, and I've shut down both the machines I used for testing. I'll track down the log files and send them to you, but it might not be until the weekend, depends what else needs doing.
OK, it turns out I had some time available this afternoon, so I've done a test and have just emaied you the viewer and host logs for an attempted login from an XP to another XP box on my LAN.Polina Krasnoborceva wrote:
Of course, please feel free to update us further on the issue anytime. Meanwhile, we will try to reproduce the issue as well.

Yes, the Monitor driver has been discontinued and it's automatically uninstalled upon the 6.12 Beta 2 version installation.On a side note, earlier posts mention that the v12 host does not use the display driver. Does intalling the new host automatically remove the driver, or does that have to be done separately?
