No, A registered copy WILL work in a Virtual Machine. We just cannot allow Trial copies to work in a Virtual Machine for obvious reasons.
 
I only asked the question because sometimes our user can come up with other solutions that we did not think of... And we do listen to our users. They make up 80 percent of our new changes.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining, I do understand your decision.
 
I was upset with myself for not paying enough attention, if I'd paid attention I would have started a test on a Monday or Tuesday.
 
The retstriction with the Virtual MAchine is a bigger Problem for me, when I have understood it properly.  If it really is so that a licenced copy is restricted functionality inside a VM, it means that I can't use your product. Perhaps I have misunderstood your licencing.  Will I be able to use the full functionality inside a Virtual Machine or not?

Randem

Well, it's marketing precautions. In three days one could get everything from InnoScript that they needed (a working script) and would not purchase it. On the other hand if one was going to purchase it they would see in three day that it worked and would purchase it. No iss file is created but you can still see the results in the Script tab.
 
We had to do something. Would you know of a better procedure?

dev_gh

A bit stupid of me to install the (three day) Trial version on a Friday anyway as I'm busy this Saturday and Sunday so will not be able to test further.

Ah, InnoScript didn't save the .ISS file.  I'm just trying again. With the .dep in place, same error as first time.  Without the .dep, no error 8excepting two files not being found, e.g. msdbind.dll.
 
One thing you should know... my development environment for VB6 is in a Windows XP Virtual Machine running under VMWare in Vista Ultimate 64-bit host.
 
For various reasons many of the old Development projects are running in VMs and for projects such as this one, I cannot move to the host machine as the Hardware is not supported in a 64-bit Environment.
 
This environment explains why the script is not getting saved, even with the .DEP renamed, I guess.  Your precautions are understandable but do mean that I can't properly assess the usefulness of the tool.

Randem

I could not duplicate what you have seen. Perhaps you could copy that file then rename it back to the original to see if there was something with the file.
 
What OS are you using?

dev_gh

OK, renaming the .dep to .dep.orig did the trick.. now to try to find out if the generated .iss is of any use...
 

Randem

BTW: If you just rename the DEP file you can run just as well.

Randem

Actually if you could give me the ocx and the dep file I could test it. Zip them please.

Randem

The dep file you posted was the original? Please post it again. I had to change some setting on the board for it to post correctly.
 
it was in the folder
 
C:ProgrammeCatalystSocketWrench Freeware EditionRedistcswsk32.dep

Look in
 
\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Randem Systems\InnoScript\Release\Log
 
I want to test with the version of the tool that you have installed.

The Freeware SocketWrench is stuck at Version 3.6
 
I have bought a licence to 6.0 but this project has not been updated to use 6.0 for two reasons.  Firstly, the object Model is changed from 3.6 to 6 so that it's not an easy change to make and, secondly I can't update the installed base just by replacing the existing .EXE (and this is a problem in this environment.)

dev_gh

Where might I find the Logs?  They're not in the Project or InnoScript Directories

Randem

Which is the freeware version you are using?
