Randem Systems Support Board

Some good news  
 
After un-install/reinstalling InnoScript it now works as expected.  Running from the VBP, it properly picks up the vbruntimes and assigns the correct flags!
 
Now to try out the MDAC/Jet template properly...
 
Thanks for your help over the last few days - much appreciated.

Also re-download and reinstall InnoScript. Something is not right with your installation if the VBRuntime files are at the end.
 
I cannot duplicate that which is happening to you.

Upload your vbp file and I will run it then post the results.

Ok, let me check this out.

1) There is no database [mdb] file yet because I had not yet added that manually! I'm going to do that once I have the vbruntimes etc sorted.
 
2) I have now created a minimal project [no templates of mine], that is based upon a simple run with the VBP file.  As you will see
- only three of the vbruntime [oleaut32.dll, olepro32.dll & msvbvm60.dll] files are listed in the [Files] section
- they are placed at the end of the [Files]list.
 
Following are the project file and the setup file
 
Is there some setting that is preventing the vbruntime files being listed?

Also your run section needs to be reordered so that the SP's wiil execute
 
[Run]

Filename: {app}\GM.exe; Description: {cm:LaunchProgram, GM }; Flags: nowait postinstall skipifsilent; WorkingDir: {app}
 
BTW, you are not deploying any database files in your script...

From the VBP file the vbruntime files should always be at the beginning and you should not use the vbruntime.tpl file. The vbruntime file are at the end because you are using the template.
 
Remove the vbruntime template and re-run.

OK here is the various files

Perhaps I need to be clearer - I've got two scripts:
script A derived from the PDW [setup.lst]
script B derived from the VBP
 
with script A, the vbruntime files are always at the beginning - so thats fine
 
with script B, the vbruntime files are at the end of the list, and only 3 of the 6 are picked up [which was another reason for using the vbruntimes.tpl] - the 3 picked up files are oleaut32.dll, olepro32.dll and msvbvm60.dll.
 
I'll post the pjt and the iss for script B

You don't need to add the vbruntime.tpl template for the vbruntime files to be added. Post your script. The vbruntime files are always at the beginning. But no the order of the files does not matter.

The one problem is that these vbruntime files now appear after the other files.  
 
I think that the vbruntime files should be first in the list.hmmmm.
 
does the order matter?
 
for example, I'm adding the MDAC20 file [via a template], but its listed last.  I would have thought that these should be first to be processed.  any thoughts?

I have just looked into the templates and seen that there was one marked VBRuntimes.tpl.
 
This had the correct flags, so I changed the paths to my correct folders and then added it to the project.
 
I'm pleased to say that it worked and my script now generates the vbruntime file lines with correct path and flags

As a newbie, I had not realised that I needed to modify that template or deliberately add it in!

ah - sorry - I think I see what you mean
 
I had truncated the file paths to vbfiles - I was more concerned with the flags.  The full files are as follows

I have not used any templates - being new to this, I thought that I would stick to the basics!

Are you using any templates that have those files in them? We use it everyday and we do not get anything like that. I have shown you what we get. The folder in your script is not one we choose to get the files from.
 
Post your .pjt file.
