Randem Systems Support Board

Hello Randem,

This is Cat from VBForum.  Thought I'd come over here to post my saga.

I had set my project aside for quite a few months.  Before I did that, I had used Inno Script and Inno Setup to make the setup file to test on another computer.  All was well.

Now I've come back to my project and completed much more of the program.  Again I wanted to make a set up file to test on another computer.  Enter problems.  I'm going backwards very fast here!!

I used the version I had used before - Inno Script 2.2.  The only problem I had was the one file that was not found.  The one I posted about on the VB Board.  The file was Program Fil

On subsequent attempts using Inno Script 2.2, I ran into error 5 and couldn't get past that.  So I decided to upgrade Inno Script to the newer version just released.  I uninstalled 2.2 and installed 4.03, I think those are the numbers.   

I didn't like the new feature of project files and decided I was better off using 2.2 because I had success with that one before.  So I uninstalled 4.03 and reinstalled 2.2.   

In the mean time, I looked at my project and saw that I had components and references that I wasn't using.  So I got rid of them.   

On my subsequent attempts at using 2.2, I get two message boxes.  The first says that a device is not functioning.  The second box says error starting program in the caption and the message says:  The InnoScript.exe file is linked to missing export MSVBVM60.dll:__vbaAryVar.

I don't know how I came up with that error.  But I have uninstalled 2.2 and reinstalled 4.03, then uninstalled 4.03 (again!!) and reinstalled 2.2.

I no longer get the above error with 2.2, so I may have finally gained back some ground.  17 files are missing now and they are all in the same folder with my vbp files.  And one of the 17 is my exe file which is there and I told 2.2 where to find it. 

Also, in the mean time I had tried using the PDW and that told me I needed different files than Inno told me. 

So this is where I'm at right now.  Can you help me figure this out?  Earlier this evening I was confused I couldn't think straight.   

How do I get 2.2 to find the 17 missing files that aren't really missing?  By the way I should have told you I'm using VB5. 

Can you walk me through this process?  And by the was one of the 17 files is not Program Fil which was the only one missing when I first started this the other day.   

I will attach my vbp file and the script file.   

Thanks for all your help that I know you will give me.

Cat,
 
First use Version 4.0.3. We do not support 2.2. Lots of problem and additions were taken care of. All a project file is is where each time you use InnoScript for a vbp file it has an associated project file for it.
 
It is helpful to those who have many vbp projects and need different information to create the Inno Setup Script. There should not be a resistance to using that way. You will see it is a better way to handle things.
 
The manual fully explains that if you want to find files that were missing just place the folder in the Search Area and InnoScript will find them on the next conversion.
 
Version 4.0.3 has other helpful features as well such as a place to add additional files that you want in your script. I would very much suggest using 4.0.3.
 
I will look at your file and let you know what I find.

Cat,
 
Please reload your files. Your files need to be zipped then uploaded or they will change in format.

Cat,
 
I looked at your vbp file and you hace a badly formated line in it that is causing your problem with the file C:\Program Fil
 
Help System Services 1.0 Type Library
 
I would suggest removing this reference and then re-adding it. The other problems result in you not having the folder where the files are in your search area.
 
 
 
I ran your current vbp file and here is the script it generated. I am missing some components that you have (VB6).
