Installing runtimes...

[Rudie]

I know there are alot of posts on this subject but I cant get Inno to work. Is there no dummy inno program that will install all required VB runtimes as well as the VB controls? Ive tried VB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe and it still complains....................

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the Inno Knowledge Base article on VB runtimes?

how do I position the cursor into a field using Inno?

what do you mean?

[Rudie]

on the screen where u enter the name and company name, if no name is entered, im displaying a message but i have no cursor control in that i cant put the cursor in the company name field if thats blank.

hmmm, i dunno. Change your thread title to something like 'Move Cursor Position in Inno Setup' and you'd more likely to get and answer (+ a mod will probably move it to application deployment where more people in the know will see it). Or search the web.

ok, thanks. hiow do i make the executable? i have read about a P&D tool but i cant find it...

[bushmobile]

In Inno or VB?

Inno: Build > Compile
VB: File > Make Project1.exe

Package and Deployment Wizard (P&D) is VB's built-in install creator. It's in under the Add-Ins menu. If it's not visible you might have to add it using the Add-In manager.

I was talking about Inno, but have tried the P&D deployer and used the package option which to me seems like it cuts out all the work that Inno does, is this correct? so really I dont need Inno, just can use P&D? as long as it installs the VB runtimes as well as the ocx controls?

thanks.

Moved.

Well personally I can't get along with the P&DW, so I use Inno. There are other folks that'll say different. JUst browse the application deployment forum, i'm sure there are lots of references to both.

Rudie,

Have you check the Inno Third Party Tools to help you create the Inno Setup Script? There are tools that will do almost everything for you. You can learn from the tools. As far as the moving of the cursor... Not sure of what you mean (Tab key)????

bushmobile,

I agree with you... Some can dig a ditch with a spoon. It will get the job done but wow what work you have to put into it!!!!
