Thanks in great measure to your outstanding assistance I now have an Inno Setup for XP and all Windows versions below it.  Thanks again.
 
I am now ready to move on to a Vista install.  I have read and reread your documentaion on this and it will come as no surprise to you that I am more than a little confused about how to use APPDATA in the app and have users deal with the generated long path to the data (our current users are going to have to get their present data there after they install the app).
 
Therefore, I'm considering living with what I think is a limited security exposure in the app's user environment by installing both the app and the data to C:UsersMyAppName.  In that regard I notice that the Vista Template specifies an install to C:UsersPublicMyAppName.  I assume all I need to do is modify the template statement to remove Public from the path.
 
I am going to take your good advice to create a public variable for the path to the data (to C:UsersMyAppName) and use it it all Connection Strings and Open Statements.

Yes, In Inno Setup:
 
[Setup]: DisableDirPage
 
Valid values:
 yes or no  
 
Default value:
 no  
 
Description:
 
If this is set to yes, Setup will not show the Select Destination Location wizard page. In this case, it will always use the default directory name.

Tom Buggy

Don't ask me why I may want to do this but is there a way to prevent the user from changing the Destination Location?  (First screen in the install with the Browse Button)

Randem

No you should not re-install the dll it was re-installed with the software. Different version of the dll but the version number did not change.

Try this, delete the rsgenrtns.dll and re-install. That should do it.

Randem

You have all the correct versions. Let me try something...

Tom Buggy

No on 7.3 and No, that version is no longer installed.  InnoScript.exe Version: 8.0.0.1

Randem

What version is your InnoScript.exe file?

Randem

Do you get that error running 7.3. Do you still have that installed?

Tom Buggy

Download & Reinstall: Same result - same error.
rsgenrtns.dll Version: 4.00

Randem

Try re-downloading and re-installing. What version is your rsgenrtns.dll file in the windowssystem32 folder?
