i have made a program's package of setup thats not running in windows 2000. its giving some error.like , it needs sone update , blabal...

[RhinoBull]

The easy way is to build your distribution pack in a native environment - use Win2K for Win2K and WinXP for WinXP.
For better solution visit (or ask to move this thread) our Application Deployment forum.

Moved to Application Deployment

[randem]

It's an old PDW flaw. You are packaging the wrong VB Runtime files. You should be re-distributing the Universal VB Runtime file and you will not have that particular problem...

[mattal]

how can i do so? will randem explain me that? will be very helpful for me.
thnkz

[randem]

Please read Installer Problems

[mattal]

what i need to do first?
will i install "Automatic OS Updater for MDAC/JET/DCOM " to the win2000 then will i run setup file? how can i add the DB driver in the packade(setup file)

[randem]

That depends on what installer you are using. in PDW you will need to run it before the installation, In Inno Setup it will run as part of the installation.

To add the DB driver in PDW you should run the DB Client installation prior to running the installation (if you are talking about that). In Inno Setup it can run as part of the installation.

[mattal]

i have tried with Inno Setup.
i m using WinXP, but when my package is setup under win2000, it is given the Error MSFLEXGRID>OCX is not found or invalid.

sorry to disturb u several times.

You do realize that is not from **********...

[mattal]

Inno Script is asking for a program file when i go to OPEN menu. which file i need to select in this matter. will it be my project EXE file or any thing else.
tnkx

[randem]

That does depend on what you asked it to do... If you clicked on browse for vbp file that's what it is looking for. If you clicked on browse for iss file then that is what it is looking for.... In the File->New it is looking for a ********** Project file. It does say that in the browse window.

randem here is a Script, what i need to do else in this matter as INNO Script is showing some erroe in the script:

[randem]

Of course it is showing errors (as stated in the documentation and the pop-up message after the conversion). You are running in SAFE MODE and ********** will not search the Windows System folders for files.

Also you did not download the scripting runtime files and tell ********** where they were.

these r the two error.
do i need to download these file?

[randem]

Yes, It's all in the instructions... And the pop-up screen etc, etc, etc...

It states that you have them in the {tmp} folder is that true or did you manually change those lines?

[randem]

It's also freaky why you would want to name your setup file the name of **********....

[mattal]

at last i can make the package & deployment through Inno Script & Inno Setup.
Thnz to RANDEM to help me.
now the prob i m facing is , the EXE file is not coming in Program menu. another one is

DefaultDirName={code:GetAppFolder}\MARCO Search

{code:GetAppFolder} is also giving an error

do u have any solution of this??

[randem]

Giving you what error?

Post your script...

[randem]

You removed the code section. That's why you get the error.

Why would you remove the templates?

Did you turn template processing off?

[mattal]

yes i have removed the template , is that necessary??
however if i Add template its not showing in the "Program Menu". & plz check the script Red mark code. is it correct to compile??

[randem]

Yes the template are needed that is why they are automatically added.

zip and post your pjt file.

[mattal]

here is the pjt file is attached with
Mattal.rar

[randem]

Just put template processing back on (Template Script Button) and re-run.

You also need to use one of the Auto OS Updaters for the target system your project file does not have one selected but you have one in your script. How did that happen?

[randem]

Note: Before changing default settings make sure you know what they do and if you need them or not. Try to use the default settings to get a working package then modify it so that you know when it breaks what you did.
