VB2008 would have no effect on making a corrupt file...

Randem:
 
Good news for you and me. -I installed the app on another friends system (Windows XP Professional SP?). I used my script in Innoscript and created a new Install. It worked.
 
I found out from this other guy (the system I have been trying) that he tried to install VB2008. I'm wondering if that caused a conflict? Do you have any thoughts on that?
 
As far as I am concerned, I think my immediate problem is solved. If you would like to continue with it possibly to resolve an unknown problem, I will be glad to work with you.

I had a thought, upload the same installation you sent to your friend. If it does not run on my system and it runs on yours... It may be your upload process in which the problem lies...

Did you install Virtual PC 2007? You can try it on that, it will be a clean system every time if you reset the vhd. You said you tried it on your system and it worked correct?
 
If your friend is getting corrupt file messages and you aren't then his download connection is suspect or his system is compromised or something to that effect.

Randem:
 
On the East Coast of the Mainland it's 6:30 AM. This morning I had an e-mail from my friend. When he tried to install, he got that corrupt file message I posted below on the Redistribution.msi file.
 
I'm starting to wonder if he has a problem with his system. Within the next couple days, I'm going to try and test the install (the one I created) on other friends PC's. I will let you know the result.
 
Again, I appreciate ALL your help on this matter.

I really don't know. I used your script with your files. The only file I used differently was the msi file. The way your installation was working was like it was the one that did not like long file names...
 
Re download the msi file. It's worth a shot.

Randem:
 
Thanks for the upload. I wanted to let you know I ran it here on my PC and it worked fine. I sent it to my friend and I am waiting to here from him. Probably be another 2 or 3 hours. I will let you know the results.  
 
Playing Devil's Advocate, my BIG question for you is: What do I do on my system to get it working?  
 
Sam

Ok, it has been re-uploaded.

Ok, we are having upload issues with the ISP over here because of the inclement weather approaching... That's a really sucky answer from the ISP... I will keep trying...

Randem:
on MY system not MY friends, I tried to install your upload. I got the following error.  
c:DOCUME~1SamLocals~1tempis-I1DBO.tempcrxi_5_rdc_redistribution.msi
 
An error occurred while trying to copy a file:
The source is corrupted.
Abort/Retry/Ignore
}}

Ok, I re-uploaded it.

After I accidentally deleted it, I did not see it on the ftp site. Can you upload it again.
 
Thanks,
Sam

What happened when you ran my installation???

Randem:  
I started over the InnoScript process from scratch. This is what I did:
- Removed and ReInstalled Crystal Reports from my PC. After the reinstall, the CR About screen said Version 11.5.8.826. I did not install any other CR Updates.
- copied from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules to a Directory I called DEP-FILES The files I copied were: CrystalReports11_5_maps.msm
CrystalReports11_5_Net.msm
CrystalReports11_5_Net_2005.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Designtime.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
 
I also copied ALL the .dep files from c:/windows/system32 to DEP-FILES.
 
I then went into my VB6 application and verified my Project References. They are:
Crystal Reports ActiveX Report View Library (11.5)
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Runtime Library (11.5)
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library (11.5)
 
I also changed the Project Version to 4.0.8
Compiled and saved the exe and vbp
 
Next: I created a NEW project in InnoScript. Used all your defaults except:
-Visual Basic Project File: D:\Data\2009Football\Sports.vbp
-InnoScript Output File: D:\Data\2009Football\Sports408Release.iss
-Crystal Reports XI_5
-Windows Version: Windows XP ( I have XP Professional SP3)
 
Under ADD FILES: I added the Crystal Report rpt's, my help file (.chm), The program ico (.ico), the database(Sports.mdb) and the vbp file (Sports.vbp).
 
Under: Search Files: I added the full path of the directory DEP-FILES.
 
Clicked on: Create Script
Clicked on: InnoSetup-->Build--->Compile--Run.
 
On my system (I have VB and Crystal Reports installed, program ran fine. On a friend PC, we installed the application. He does not have CR or VB installed. When we went to print the reports,Error Code 339. CLviewer or one of it's dependents..
 
I am attaching the Project and Iss file. I am going to ftp the DEP-FILES directory.
 
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sam
