brij,

This has already been done for you with **********. It will save you alot of time and create your script for you from your vbp file.

i downloaded inno script just today but wheneve i open project it says runtime error 5

brij,

Delete the **********.ini file and try again.

nopes.. still doesnt work.. i am using windows 2000 sever.

Try version 5.0.8 just uploaded.

downloading will let you know .. how it goes..

remember to get rid of the old ini file. Uninstalling would probably be better.

i uninstalled old version .. deleted the randem directory..
and the new version still gives the same error.

What project are you opening to receive the error? What do you do to get it?

it doesnt allow me to open any project.
After installation there are menu buttons File, View , Help , About
Click File--New project, open project, create project assocation, exit.

In this menu when i click new project or open project i get the runtime error 5 alertbox

brij,

Hmmm... Can't duplicate. It doesn't happen here. What SP do you have installed? It you computer up to date?

w2k sp4 yehh fully updated

tried the same in another machine windows xp pro. its giving the same error there too.

brij,

I have never attempted to install it on the server before. I wonder if that made do it. I will keep checking to ee what I can find. I'll let you know.

brij,

Hmmm, it gets tested on XP Pro. Let me check somethng.

What screen resolution are you using?

1024 x 768

Can you go to view and view the reports?

there are 3 options unsafe files, regd components, registered shared files. could not see anything called reports.

Fixed in Version 5.0.9. It was tough to find. It only happened whent the screen was not big enough to fit the form and the display went beyond the screen size (off screen).

thnxx.. downloading will try it now..
