Randem Systems Support Board

The help will say nothing about the problems you are having for those type of problems are not common... No one else has every had them.
 
Why would you want to change the path of the universal files from the ones that are present? It seems like you are creating problems where there are none...
 
As I pointed out before if there is a file registered in a folder that folder will not be excluded. If you want that folder excluded the file should not be registered there. There is a reason the file is registered there...
 
InnoScript is a program that will attempt to gather files and create an installation with the proper files. If you want to override that primary function you will need to EDIT the script on your own or create a template to edit the script for you. This is by design...
 
Answers to your questions:
 
1) Path in the vbg??? Please explain what you mean here. You cannot override most things in InnoScript unless you use a template. Otherwise you need an editor.
 
2) System32 files??? You are not supposed to use files in that location anyway...
 
InnoScript will not let you Copy PERIOD. It will not change... Use an editor if you want to copy it's not that hard.
 
I will look at your script and project file to see what I can see.

Your help says nothing about the problems I am having.
 
Answer this simple question:  Why can't i specify my path to the universal files?
You imply in the help file that I can change this path.
How do I set the path to the universal files and make it stick?
It won't let me Exclude
    InnoScript 10\VB 5 Redist Files
Even though I exclude
    C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\
It still goes there
 
All the rest of it looks to me like I have to  
1) only use the path in the .vbg because InnoSetup will not allow anything else.  Seems I should be able to override the paths as I see fit.
2) hide all instances of files that I do not want.  because InnoScript will take the first one it finds since the search order cannot be set.
Seems the rules are different depending on the files being pointed to.
System32 files:  don't point at System32
Universal files: don't point where you want.
etc.
 
And I said Copy as is the windows standard if one can highlight text, one can copy to the clipboard.  I said editing is cut and paste which is what I am NOT asking for.

Aloha,
 
If you set a folder to no in the search tab and InnoScript finds a file registered in that folder that folder is now usable for searches. If you do not want InnoScript to search a folder you should place the folder in the Excluded Folders tab. It is noted in the instructions. if you do not follow the instructions you may never get it to work correctly. Things are done in a certain order and way. If you do not follow that way, doing things some other way will result in results that you may not want or understand.
 
You still will not be able to copy/paste, that should be a dead issue by now. You will not be able to do it and it will not change...
 
The prior threads were not deleted but moved to the appropriate locations where they should be. Doing a search would find the thread.
 
You complain about not getting a useful script but you continue to ignore request to post what you have or anything that could shed light on what you are doing. It is obvious that what you are doing is incorrect but no one can help you when you continue to do it incorrectly disregarding the correct way in which InnoScript operates will cause confusion.
 
It is very simple when processing the correct way.
I cannot see your project file or your script so I cannot correct your assumptions...
 
Post your script and Zip and post your project file.

How do I set the priority of the folders used on the Search Folders tab to get files?
 
In the Search Files Tab I set the wrong folder to NO but InnoScript ignores that and uses it anyway.
What is the point of NO if it doesn't stop looking there?
 
I Remove the folder and InnosScript puts it back even though I have supplied a folder with the files I want to use.
Yeah there is an older version there is the folder InnoScript tries to use.
 
I set the VB Runtime Folder and InnoScript keeps changing it to the location under Randem Systems.
Not what I want!  The InnoScript universal files are out of date.  Not the latest version!
Why do you disable the VB Runtime FIles Folder so I cannot set it properly after a Create Script run?
 
I Specifically point to folders to find the files I need and InnoScript keeps pulling the files from other folders.
 
InnoScript pulls the main app.exe, not from the .vbg folder but somewhere else.
It uses random order of the file list to search for files.  The topmost folder listed has the app.exe in it but it goes elsewhere to point at that one.
 
You say that I should not pull files from WindowsSystem32.  OK, but then why is it I cannot point to the file folder source I want.  My choice should override everything.
 
So from what I can see, I have to rearrange my hard disk files to satisfy InnoScript.
 
Exasperating!
 
MS says that dbghelp.dll is not redistributable.  But there seems nothing I can to to exclude this file from the script created.  I Put the folder that InnoScript keeps using in the Exclude Folder tab but that does not stop it.
 
If I can highlight a line in Script it implies that I can do a Ctrl-C to copy it.  A Windows operation you ignore.
Copying is NOT editing.  Cutting and Pasting is editing.
 
So far I cannot build a useful script.
 
Wish you had said you were going to erase portions of the thread.  Now I cannot go back and refer to what we said.  I would have made a copy of the thread for my reference.
