[RESOLVED] Package Development Error

[Tarablue]

Good Evening All,

I have a rather anoying error when I use the Package Development program.

My program compiles and runs through the development process OK and even installs the program in the correct folder that I have chosen.

Here is my problem. The program shows up in the "All Programs listing from the Sart menu, BUT it won't run the program because it keeps searching for a very old name I used when I first started writing the program. This may seem a bit Double Dutch so please bear with me.

Right click on a program and select properties. Up the top of the window you have 'Target Location' which tells you where the program is and what file name start the program. THIS is where the problem lies. This shows the old name "NW" but the program is now saved and compiled to "Nationwide".

I have tried everything I know and I still cannot get this to alter - Any ideas?

Moved

Start a new project. Add all the forms, modules, etc., from the existing program. Compile it as Nationwide.exe. Create a new P&D installation.

Totally delete the existing installation and install the new package clean, or install the new package on a computer that's never had this program installed on it, and see if it installs properly.

That may be just the start of your errors with PDW...

Look in the FAQ's of this forum you may find other installers that are not so errrr... Flaky...

Thank you A142 & randem, I will certainly give this a try.

VB can be an unwealdy beast sometimes and I'm sure it creates it's own life when it wants to, and one that cannot be easily tamed.
