[RESOLVED] RANDEM!!! I Need your help

[Nitesh]

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.

[03myersd]

I know this isn't my thread but just to save Randem having to wait, there is no file attached....

[Nitesh]

Thanks for the alert. I was in such a hurry I forgot the attachment. My bad.

[MartinLiss]

Moved.

[agmorgan]

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.

[randem]

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.

[Nitesh]

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.

[randem]

Mistake on my part. You just copy the file to another folder. If you remove then programs that use the files will start to fail.

[Nitesh]

Why would you want to remove files? You just copy the file to another folder. If you remove then programs that use the files will start to fail.

Ok, Thanks randem. Will try that now.

[Nitesh]

Ok, Thanks randem. Will try that now.

Sorry Randem,

One more question. I was coding the software on XP Service Pack 1 but at a later stage I installed Service Pack 2. In ********** under the NT Service pack combobox which Service Pack should I choose. I currently have SP 2 chosen

[randem]

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

[Nitesh]

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

Sorry Randem.

Have to bother you again. I ran ********** again after placing these Dll's in a new folder. Now all the followin are coming up in the search path area and the paths I am adding are not there after I run it.


C:\Documents and Settings\Nitesh\Desktop\exe\;E:\David\VBDev\PupilDBase\;E:\David\VBDev\PupilDBase\dll\;C:\WINDOWS\sy stem32\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\CDO\;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\;C:\Program Files\Randem Systems\**********\********** 7.0\;C:\WINDOWS\;

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.

[randem]

********** 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...

Hi Randem

forgive me for being so annoying but it's my first time using **********. I am getting the same error as I had the first time but this time with the MSSTDFMT.DLL. I followed the previous steps, placed it in a safe folder and added the path to the search path area but the error still comes up.

[randem]

Send me your project...

[Nitesh]

Send me your project...

Sending it now. The stupid thing is takin so long 2 zip

[randem]

What do you have in it. You did compact the database didn't you?

How big is the database anyway?

[Nitesh]

Sending it now. The stupid thing is takin so long 2 zip

I've sent it to your address that you gave me a few days ago. Please let me know if you got it.

[Nitesh]

What do you have in it. You did compact the database didn't you?

How big is the database anyway?

I didn't compact the database. I would get into trouble if I distribute our db. My boss is very particular about that.

[randem]

Downloading now...

[Nitesh]

Downloading now...

thanks

[randem]

Then did you at least send an empty one?

[Nitesh]

Then did you at least send an empty one?

He would have a heart attack even if I did that.

[randem]

Alrighty then..., First off you have a major problem you are using DSN's and not deploying them. You should not even be using DSN's with an Access Database. OLEDB would work better and have no extra overhead to deal with on the installation and it would be far simpler too.

Working on the rest...

I am using a MySQL Database.

[randem]

On further research you are using mySQL DSN's. I assumed Access for I got confused with another thread. Ok working...

[Nitesh]

I am using a MySQL Database.

Hi again,

Where do I add the DSN though. I go to the add files tab and try to add it but it doesnt appear in the list

[randem]

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

[Nitesh]

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

Oh ok,

my fault. I didn't look through the list properly.

[Nitesh]

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

Hi,

I have sorted out most of the errors by placing the files in a shared folder. No i'm gettin an error message saying Source File "c:\windows\msvcr80.dll" does not exist.

Thanks for your time. But what do I do now.

[randem]

Don't quote everything I post...

Download this and put the AutoOSUpdater in the same folder then run this installation and let me know what you get

[Nitesh]

Hi i'm getting the attached error.

[randem]

Are you are running XP Home that has been upgraded to XP Pro?

[Nitesh]

No, I'm running XP Pro.

[randem]

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.

[Nitesh]

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

[randem]

Where you went wrong?... Not following the instructions in the manual

There is a reason the manual was included...

c:\windows\msvcr80.dll should not exist it should exist in c:\windows\system32\msvcr80.dll

[Nitesh]

Cool. Thanks. I have tested the setup on 3 pc's so far and everything is going well. Thanks alot Randem
