Title: DefaultDirName
Post by: davethomson on December 03, 2008, 07:40:53 AM
I open a current file using Version 9.2 Build 17. The DefaultDirName immediately changes from:  
 
c:/program files/coursratingsystem
 
which I want to:
 
{pf}Dave ThomsonCourseRatingSystem 8
 
This has not happened previously. When I change it to what I want:
 
c:/program files/coursratingsystem
 
Exit the Settings, create the script the DefaultDirName is what I changed it to. If I either (a) save and exit or (b)exit and save, run InnoScript again, load my file and the DefaultDirName returns to:
 
{pf}Dave ThomsonCourseRatingSystem 8
 
So, How do I keep the DefaultDirName I want?

I will check that issue. That field gets it's information from your VBP file from it's properties in the VBE (Properties->Project Properties->Make) This information is included in the documentation.
 
The info should not change if it already has information in the field. I will check this to verify.

Well, once again I have made an error. Since the new build is 18 I uninstalled my current Build 17 version. During the uninstall I was told there were several files (I think they were .exe, maybe one was autoupdate.exe) that were not being used and did I will to remove them too. Since they were not being use I said, Sure, why not. Wrong answer.
 
Build 18 (the .exe) file now say there is an error #53 (File Not Found) and will not run. So, once again I have messed up and now I don't have your program to use with by VB programs.  
 
What should I do?

Did some thinking and did the following.
 
1. Went to you main site and downloaded the file from there.
 
2. Ran the .exe and it installed just fine.
 
3. Input my registration data.
 
4. Said registration OK.
 
5. Program seems to run fine.
 
Note: Even with build 18 it says a newer version is available.
 
So, guess I am back in business once more.

You don't need to uninstall to upgrade...

Ahhh ... that file in the zip was an upgrade! ... Your post didn't explain that so I assumed it was a new version which is why I uninstalled the old version. No wonder I had the problem.
 
 But, all is well once again.

Any new version is still an upgrade, it's just a full upgrade instead of the smaller automatic upgrade. The upgrade will just replace the necessary components and the full version will replace all components.
 
BTW: The zip that was posted here was just an exe file to replace the one that you already had. It was not an installation. Perhaps I should have explained that.
