Run Time ERROR?

[Justin M]

Hey guys , this may be a weird question to ask, but I am done wriitng a prog and posted it on my website. But someone told me they get a run time error when they try to run the prog.

I don't get this on either comp I installed it on and I use xp on both.

Would it be possible to get someone to try this out and see if you get this to work?

Yes, I do get a runtime error on XP Pro. How did you generate your script? Can you show your script?

There are a few ways to determine just where the error is.

[Justin M]

I use Inno script.

Here is the script.

; Script generated by the Inno Setup Script Wizard.

No you don't use Inno Script. You use the Inno Setup Wizard, two completely different applications by two completely different companies. You won't get what you need by using the wizard.

[Justin M]

So would it be a good idea to get the Inno Script?

[randem]

I believe so but that opinion is biased... ;)

[Justin M]

lol what would be the difference?

[randem]

Inno Script would find all the dependencies you need for your project AND create a complete script for you also along with some documentation of what you have in your project.

[Justin M]

lol No offence, I appreciate your help, but is there a free alternative?

It would be odd for me to pay for software so I can give away free software.

[techgnome]

Inno Script IS free.... mine was.... now, there's another one by a similar name (with no space between Inno and Script) that's a pay product... but Inno Script itself is free.

Can you link me to where you got yours please?

[techgnome]

[Justin M]

thanks, this is wha I use, and its great. But is there a way for it to find the dependency files?

[si_the_geek]

In the FAQ thread at the top of this forum, there are links to a couple of articles on using Inno Setup - including one specifically for packaging VB6 projects.

Using those you should be able to make some progress.

[randem]

techgnome,

That is Inno Setup, there is no Script in that name whatsoever...

[randem]

Justin M,

No, Inno Setup will not find any dependency files...

[techgnome]

yeah, my bad, I realized that as I was posting, then got side tracked and never got around to amending the post...
