Randem Systems Support Board

To clarify in your confusion:
 
UNSAFE FILES
 
If the files are in the unsafe.fil file and if InnoScript removes them from your script - Don't deploy them. Find another way to get these files deployed such as a SP installation.
 
UNSAFE MODE
 
If you are running in UNSAFE MODE InnoScript will search your system folder for the files you need. If your files are found in the system folder and you still want to deploy them, you need to copy these files elsewhere and then tell InnoScript where they are for your next conversion. This will allow these files to be added to your script from the new location.
 
SAFE MODE
 
InnoScript will look for your files in the folders you supply but WILL NOT search the windows system folder for ANY files. The files if not found elsewhere on your harddrive will be marked as NOT FOUND in the script.
 
Hopefully this helps.

Hi Randem;
First,thank you for your response.
I am realy confused about this 'Unsafe File' Issue. Am I supposed to find and locate them
somewhere in my computer, besides the 'System
Directory' and deploy them to the 'user {sys}
directory? It does not make sense to me; it seems as if I am going to destroy their {sys} files.(Maybe I should create, deploy and register them to a 'Support Directory'). InnoScript did not locate them; it just marked them as 'Unsafe'.
 
My second question is: I cannot find all files, even if I find them(I am working with Vista Computer) like:
Source: C:Windowswinsxsx86_microsoft-windows-shlwapi_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_f7a2f008a7c3da76shlwapi.dll ,files are located in 'winsys'Vista Directory. How could you expect this file to be registered in 'XP based Computer' which some of the files are located in 'winsxs' directory? and 50% of them not even there; and the file descriptions are even different - the computer says it cannot locate the entry point. What is the best way to handle these 'Unsafe files'?.  
 
Regards,
 
Kol

I am not understanding your question. Are you saying that the files in the unsafe list are already on your computer? If so that is precisely why they are unsafe to deploy... You may be deploying the wrong version that will break the OS or other software.

Hi;
 
I have a question about 'Unsafe Files'
I am working with 'Vista H.E' ,I found(almost)  
all 'Unsafe Files using innoscript' from the
'Vista winsys directory' , but can not install
on win98 tru win xp ,problem is with the directory that files are located ('winsxs directory on XP') and I don't know what directory is on (win98 thru 2000). So what do you do?

The reason for some app bringing up that message may be due to the app accessing protected areas of the registry and that is what Vista wants you to know. If the app does not access the protected registry there is no reason to alert you.
 
PS: Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the prompt response. I know this is probably more of a Vista question rather than an InnoScript issue, but can you tell me why some programs like InnoScript bring up this warning and some don't. Most of the software I write is VB6 and I've not seen this warning on executing any of my installed programs in Vista, although I have seen the warning on other programs I run.

Paul
PS InnoScript and your site are a great help by the way, and good value. Thanks

No, that is exactly what will happen if you have UAC turned on. If you do not want this to happen you will have to turn UAC off.

Hi
I've installed InnoScript on my vista machine but each time I run it I get a warning 'Unidentified program wants access to your computer'. I understand that this shouldn't happen.
 
Is my installation faulty?
