Hi Randem,
I have been trying to get familiar with ********** and InnoSetup using your tutorials, which are excellent by the way. Everything was going fine until I tried to compile the script and I get the following error. Please see attachment. I have placed the file in the Unsafe.Fil text file but the error still comes up.
Please advise me. This is quite urgent. I would really appreciate it.:wave:
I know this isn't my thread but just to save Randem having to wait, there is no file attached....
Thanks for the alert. I was in such a hurry I forgot the attachment. My bad.:blush:
Moved.
You could just copy the dll to a 'safe' directory and point the script there.
This will then avoid the error.
However, you should still be able to compile your script with the Inno Compiler if that is your only error.
********** just generates the script for you from your vbp file.
You can then modify it afterwards (using ISTool for ease of use) yourself.
Yes, as agmorgan states: Move the file to another folder then tell ********** where that folder is by placing the folder name into the Search Path Area then re-running ********** on your vbp file.
Should I remove the msbind.dll from the System32 folder? Please advise me. Thanks for the reply.:thumb:Quote:

Ok, Thanks randem. Will try that now. :)Quote:

Not unless that is what you want the users to have installed before the app will install.
Sorry Randem.Quote:

Note: I did not enter all those paths. What should I do now. I have to get this working by the end of the day.:(
********** will add the paths to the Search Path Area of where it found file so that the next time you attempt a conversion it will know where to search and it will not take so long.
You are worrying about the wrong things... Look at the script...

Send me your project...

Working on the rest...
I am using a MySQL Database. :wave:Quote:

You realize you do need to use the ADD button on the Add Files tab...

Hi i'm getting the attached error.
Are you are running XP Home that has been upgraded to XP Pro?
No, I'm running XP Pro.
Well, your system is not clean. That happens on systems where there is something in the registry. I don't know what but it does not happen on a clean system. I need to do more research.
Meanwhile you can just press ignore and everything will be fine.
Thanks so so much Randem. You are a saviour. Its running now. If I use the script you compiled will it work. I would still like for you to advise me about the Source file:"c:\windows\msvcr80.dll" does not exist error because in the future when I am compiling projects I would like to know what to do. As a last favour, could you tell me where I was going wrong with regards to how I was compiling the script and stuff. Your help has been greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nitesh:afrog:
Where you went wrong?... Not following the instructions in the manual :wave:
There is a reason the manual was included... :p
c:\windows\msvcr80.dll should not exist it should exist in c:\windows\system32\msvcr80.dll
Cool. Thanks. I have tested the setup on 3 pc's so far and everything is going well. Thanks alot Randem:D
Hi Randem,
I need to clarify something with you. When compiling I get an error with the msxml6.dll. The same error I had previously and you told me to add those dll's to a safe folder. But I found that just adding it to a safe folder doesn't get rid of the problem. I also have to place the file in the unsafe files text file in order for it to work.
Now, my question is. I need the msxml6.dll distributed with my packagebut because I included it in the unsafe files i'm assuming that's why it hasn't been included with my project. I had to copy the dll onto a client machine and register it then my sms sender worked.
Please advise me.:wave:
You should be installing the whole xml SP. That file is different for the other operating systems and you will probably crash someone else's system deploying that file or at least cause havok with other apps that need the one for the target OS.
You probably copied the file to the same OS you created the package on, correct?
Oh ok. I forgot I had downloaded tha latest xml SP. I will install that seperately on all the pc's. It wasn't the same OS though. The OS was Server 2003 R3. Thanks again Randem.:)
If you are developing on XP it is basically.
Were there different XML SP's for the other OS's?
I can't remember if there were different SP's. I will try to trace back to which site I got it from and then have a look
I looked and there is one version for everything up until Vista but there were three different version up until now. That is why you must install the whole sp to make sure that the XML files are all the same version. For you could deploy XML 3.0 file over XML 1.0 files and have version incompatibilities.
thanks again:thumb:
Hi Randem,
It seems as if my problems never end. I need the full version of **********. Is there a free one available. I hade the one which lasted the 5 day trial period but I need the full version ASAP.
Please help again.:(
Sorry, No there isn't a free version
Oh crap.Now what.:cry: I spent the whole of last week learning **********. Is there a free version of another program I can use to package my software. I'm not sure if my boss would purchase **********. Please get me put of this predicament. Your advise will be really appreciated.
You can edit the script by hand and Inno Setup is still free...
Hi Randem,
I installed ********** on my friends PC. But the script is different to my last one. In his script under tasks the following appears:
Name: ScriptingRuntime; Description: Install Microsoft's Scripting Runtime; GroupDescription: Install Scripting Runtime:
What does this refer to. What do I need to do to get it out of there???
How can I tell with just one line? i have no clue as to what his or your script looks like.
