Inno Setup Problems

[tendemo]

Hi, I am trying to build a deployment package using inno setup however when I launch the program after deployment I get a run time error 9. What am I missing. Thanks

[Hack]

Moved to Application Deployment

[randem]

You have a subscript out of range error. That is an application error. You don't get that in the IDE?

[tendemo]

Why doesnt this happen in the IDE and how can I anticipate this from the IDE interface or prevent this from happening in the application interface. Thanks

[randem]

Do you have Option Explicit on and are you using any sort of error checking? This is an relative easy thing to check for. Show the location in your code where this happens.

[tendemo]

Here is the code, I tried turning on the option explicit but I still got caught. The error fires when I try to click on the settings option in tray. Thanks

[randem]

You should always run with full compile in the IDE... As soon as I started it I got "Variable not found" This could be the first of many problems...

[randem]

I get no error after using the "Settings" from the tray I corrected your other errors. Also you use On Error Resume Next a lot. You could be hiding other issues.

[tendemo]

Okay, I will give that a try. Thanks

[tendemo]

Okay but when I compile with Inno like this


; -- Example1.iss --
; Demonstrates copying 3 files and creating an icon.

I get issues. Can my main prob be here ? Thanks

[randem]

Using the Inno Setup Wizard....

[tendemo]

Thats right. Thats the script Ive been using.

[randem]

No wonder you have so many deployment problems...

[tendemo]

Ive tried the other way round same thing. What should I be after to get around . Thanks

[randem]

What other way around is that?

[tendemo]

Without using the wizard thats what I was trying to mean. Thanks

[randem]

Have you tried the other package? You know the one that's been banned here?

[randem]

This is what I get when I use it:

[randem]

See if this works for you http://www.***********/cgi-bin/randem/countdown.cgi?Backup100Release.zip

[tendemo]

Nope, may I know which one was banned and why. Cheers

[randem]

Why, Probably because It actually helps ;) and it's not PDW...
