You can still develop with Xbase++ 2.0 (as in 1.90.*) without the workbench. The workbench does give you nice facilities, but is not compulsary for creating projects. The installation of the workbench is compulsary, but it is also the way of receiving updates. So, if you don't use the workbench, fire it up regularly to check on new updates. Peter

WAA installation and update process

I am very happy with WAA ver 1.90.331 and the way that Alaska configured 
the system setup.
However, a PDR fix forced an upgrade from 1.90.331 to 1.90.355.

The two versions are very different.
It is not possible to simply replace the .331 Alaska files with the .355 
Alaska files.
.355 is closer to a pre-2.0 version.

I do not use xbase++ and do not want to install the compulsory workbench.
I completely agree with the views shared on "Changes to the Installation 
and Update Processes" in the "public.xbase++.installation" newsgroup.

Does anyone use WAA ver 2 or ver 1.90.355 without the workbench?
If so, then I would like to hear how you did it.

You can still develop with Xbase++ 2.0 (as in 1.90.*) without the
workbench. The workbench does give you nice facilities, but is not
compulsary for creating projects.
The installation of the workbench is compulsary, but it is also the way of
receiving updates. So, if you don't use the workbench, fire it up regularly
to check on new updates.
