All the posts stay here. this support board goes back to about Feb of 2004. It has not gotten too big to archive anything yet...

Thanks for all the information. Do you normally leave the posts as-is or are they eventually deleted?

BTW: The only way to get Version 10.5 Build 9 is to do an Update from within InnoScript and it will install 10.5 Build 9 over your current version if it is less than 10.5 build 9

Randem

Which instructions are you referring to? The InnoScript instruction are in the Help menu on the main screen using the selection Documentation. They are also on line via the website.
 
The instruction for Inno Setup are available in the Inno Setup program and on their website.
 
Also version 10.5 Build 9 is no longer available on the website since we released Version 11 today.
 
If you downloaded version 10.5 build 9 then you already have a clean copy.

davethomson

Can you point me to the instructions. Then, after reading them should I follow the instruction for getting a clean version 10.5.9?
 
Sorry to be a pest but I would like to have a clean copy on each of my PCs, not just one that works.

Randem

It is the way in which you installed it, uninstalled it  and re-installed it.
 
You installed not in the manner as described in the notices... But as long as you have it working.

Ok. I changed the location of the runtime files as you told me. Now I can run InnoScript and get the output without the 4 red files. So, not frustrated anymore as I can get the script perfect.  
 
Now explain why I see the following when I look at the Runtime Files location for the files that work:
 
 
 
 
Seems like I have InnoScript Versions 9 & 10 installed.  I thought 9 disappeared. And why are the runtime files under Version 9 and not 10?
 
Probably not necessary to explain all this to me (why it works) as as long as it works who cares!  It works.
 
Finally, I hope you are not up late at night just to take care of my problem. Now that would make me fell very bad.

Those are VB6 Runtime files...
 
In the top left area of the screen add the location of where the files exist on your computer.
 
the area on the screen says VB Runtime Files Location...
 
Select where the files are located (usually C:Program Files (x86)Randem SystemsInnoScriptInnoScript 10VB 6 Redist Files or C:Program FilesRandem SystemsInnoScriptInnoScript 10VB 6 Redist Files
 
Re-run InnoScript...

Frustrated.  for some reason I cannot NOW copy/paste the .iss here. Why won't my copy/paste work now?
 
The .iss for golfcourseratingassistant (shown below in previous posts) works fine but when I try one of my other programs they all have the 4 RED MISSING FILES. I don't know why. I have been beating my head against a brick wall for over an hour now.
 
 
 
And reading a InnoScript or InnoSetup file is like reading Greek, I cannot. You tell me to look at the two files but where? Give me a hint please.

That's a bit drastic. I just gave you the information on what to do to alleviate the issue...
 
Notice where the missing files are in one script but not the other?

davethomson

ok, so what do I do?  Do I uninstall InnoScript, delete the various Randem folders, and then reinstall?

Randem

You installed over version 9 with version 10 and you are not pointing (search tab) to the correct location for the VB6 runtime files. That is why the files are missing.
 
Look at the difference between the two scripts.

davethomson

I selected Release and still get the 4 RED ERRORS. I don't understand why I am getting these errors when they didn't appear using previous versions of  InnoScript.
 
I just used InnoScript on another VB program and it doesn't get the 4 RED files not found.  What do you need to see from me to help be figure out what is going on?

1 - The error is just a warning that InnoScript will need to change a relative path for it was incorrect in the vbp file (nothing to worry about).
 
2 - That is an internal error. None is not working properly in that version (it is fixed in version 11). Please use Release and the issue will not surface.

davethomson

Thanks for the note on mix/max. I understand that now.
 
Two questions:
 
1. What does the error message, * * * ERROR * * * Invalid Relative Reference in VBP: ..WINDOWSsystem32STDOLE2.TLB - Converts to: ..WINDOWSsystem32STDOLE2.TLB - Path Does Not Exist - Ignoring Path!!!
 mean?
 
2. I get 4 RED code involving (assumed) missing files, e.g. MSVBM60.DLL, STDOLE2.TBL, COMCAT.DLL, AND VB5DB.DLL? What is my PC harddrive missing and how would I correct it?
 
 
3. Why does the Installation Release Type display BOTH Release and None when None was the only one checked when file saved?
