My P&D Wizard seems to be having a problem.
It hangs during the select folder for output stage.
Anyway, I only really wanted to use this to get a list of files that need registering, as I would prefer to use Inno. Therefore, how do I know which files to add to my inno script??
Many Thanks
Paul

Ok - I have created my setup with Inno but on installing I get and error:
Method '~' of object '~' failed
I believe this to be a MDAC problem, but dont know how to diagnose this.
All the dependent files are taken from a Win7 machine and the install attempts are also to a (different) Win7 machine.
Below is my INNO script:
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks

Think I have found the solution - its too late to check now so will post back with the results tomorrow, but I believe that it was all due to the MySQL connector not being installed.
I will check and then close this post if necessary.
Many thanks though.

This is why I call it "No-No Setup."
That thing can be dangerous in the wrong hands, and I have had to deal with the DLL Hell somebody else using Inno has caused my applications on a client's system way too often.
You are trying to deploy a number of undeployable libraries there, as well as bits and pieces from MDAC and Jet (which is also improper).
DHTMLEd.OCX can't be taken from a random system and deployed to a target system. For one thing it's part of IE, for another the IE copy is kill-bitted in Vista and beyond for a number of reasons and there is a special version you have to acquire from a separate Microsoft download, and for a third it is never deployed into the application install directory.
That's how No-No Setups end up breaking other applications.
Inno is probably fine in competant hands, but it gets used way too often by script kiddies who cobble together Inno scripts from bits and pieces they find in the street.
I wouldn't give a damn, except that I am tired of having to deal with trouble calls for MY applications when somebody else's No-No Script install has broken it - or worse yet trashed the user's machine.
Hehe -- Inno Setup, is what I use. It's a Object Pascal App and very good at it's job. I hope that you enjoy ripping out your hair out of your head, it is very hard to understand for a VB6 COM programmer like myself ,, NOT... (About ripping out your hair, I mean)...
PS: Change this to: Compression=lzma2 in the Setup File, before it's Built. It contains better compression, and also it's alot faster than the one that you're using, right now even...
Moved To Application Deployment
So sorry: Hack. I forgot to tell you chapps about it. I've been working for about thirty-seven hours...
