Lost Program

You are incorrect on one point... If the max version is Vista it will NOT install on Windows 7.
 
Not needing to understand the workings of Inno Setup is precisely why InnoScript exists

davethomson

You're quite welcome.  Good products deserve good comments.
 
I have followed the same procedure I did on my laptop for upgrading on my PC, i.e. installed the v9.21.8 then upgraded to v10.5.9 and everything works fine on both computers.
 
I am only installing the program on one or two home computers so, at this point, there is no need to go completely corporate.  But good advice for the future.
 
As for installing in other than Programs Files, well, it is a simple program which can be installed where the user wants but I have never tried this, installing anywhere but my default, as I am not sure about accessing all the files that are installed with it.
 
Basically, If it an't broke, don't fix it!, i.e. it works as written so until the need arises ...  
 
Your program is like a car. I can get in, drive, park, but no way I understand the workings or setting.  
 
I guess I would make the 'min/max NT' using a max of Windows 7 now. Someone who uses my program may have that OS, even me someday.  I assume that if the max is Vista it will install on a OS 7 machine.
 
Thanks again for all your excellent support.

Randem

Thanks for your kind remarks. By the way, If you are writing to any of the files that you install in the {App} folder you should consider adding the Legacy template to your installation. Vista / Windows 7 will not like that fact that you are attempting to write to the Program Files folder and will use virtualization on your data and it will not appear where you think it is.
 
Of course you are installing to the root of the C: drive (that is bad all in itself). But if a user chooses to install the program where it really should be (Program Files) other problems will creep up and you will have no idea of why you are having these issue. This is especially true if you have hard coded the installed location inside your application.
 
If you are seeking to have your application installed in a corporate environment; installing to the root of the system drive would not in most cases be tolerated and your app may suffer an early demise because of this issue.
 
Just something to think about...
 
Also neither of the scripts you have posted will install on Vista...

davethomson

Anyway, I took the time to read the TWO QUESTIONS above in the forum and set min/max NT to XP/Vista and now it installs on my Vista Laptop.  I assume the it will install on XP computer. Makes sense to me now.
 
By the way, I tested to see if the min/max would install on my XP PC and it did (why wouldn't it - your program is the BEST!)

Hope this helps. The message I get when running the installation .exe for the 2nd script (set for Windows XP):
 
THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON WINDOWS NT VERSON 6.0 OR LATER.

Randem

It could sound right depending on what you are attempting to accomplish. You could have two different installs for XP and Vista or one install that covers both. Of course some knowledge of the differences are needed so that you can combine both in the same script without conflicts.
 
I can't tell you much without seeing both scripts as to why one works and the other doesn't but the scripts have to be different...

davethomson

Rooted around on my PC and found InnoScript9218Release.zip so transferred this to my laptop and installed it. Worked and told me a new update was available so, why not, said, GO. It did and, Lo and Behold, Version 10.5 Build 9 was installed and works fine ... sort of.
 
Seems if I use NT Version XP (for my VB) it doesn't like to be installed on my LapTop which has Vista. So, uninstalled, went back, selected VISTA, and this time the InnoSetup did it perfect and it is now installed on my Vista Laptop.
 
By the way, in InnoScript I set RELEASE as off and  NONE as on. Run InnoScript and exited which now SAVES the project (very good upgrade). However, when I open the project again the RELEASE button is ON which I had set OFF.
 
Since I now have InnoScript on my laptop (v10.5.9) and also on my PC (v10.1.1) and both work I will leave well enough along and just continue to work with what I have.
 
But I could uninstall my v10.1.1 on PC, install v9.2.1 and then it would upgrade to 10.5.9. Maybe, maybe ... but hate to fix what an't broken.
 
Also, interesting that the compiled code using NT XP from V10.1.1 works on my Vista laptop but the same using 10.5.9 with NT XP doesn't.
 
What this means is that the compiled program done with v10.1.1 will work on both Vista and XP PCs but compiled with 10.5.9 NT XP will not work on a Vista PC.  This means using v10.5.9 I would have to have TWO COMPILED versions, one for XP and one for  VISTA. Does that sound about right to you?
 
Thank You

Apparently, being a complete novice when using/installing InnoScript my PC's version is 10.l  Build 1. And it doesn't automatically update so apparently I cannot do updates, hence, I cannot get InnoScript back on my laptop (using update and then transferring that file to my laptop).
 
Therefore, with your permission (which I will check here later) I probably should just uninstall 10.1 Build 1 on my PC then purchase a new copy which I could then put on my laptop.  Seems to me to be the easiest way to get both computers back working with my VB files to compile them.
 
What say you?

davethomson

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure what version I had on my laptop but I will check my PC. Then I will update the PC version and see what happens.
 
I have had some experiences with updating as the new version (in the past) have not worked and I really needed to compile a program and could not.
 
But, I will bite the bullet and try updating my PC. If that works will will use the update on my laptop which, at this point, doesn't have InnoScript installed.
 
Let you know what happens.

Randem

Aloha,
 
The last version that we have you registered for is version 6.0 Build 5 from 2007. You are correct the registration codes will not work for that version. In you post you never mentioned that version; you only mentioned version 10.1 as the lowest version that you had. So yes you need to upgrade for the latest version...

davethomson

I entered my registration codes, pressed OK. Nothing happenes other then the pannel disappears. Clicking the icon again produces the same input screen. I have entered the codes 4 times now and same thing happens. It is hard to tell a capital O from a zero 0 so I assume all the 0/O are zeros.
 
I registered my copy in November of 2007. does this make a difference?
 
Here are User Name, ID, Registration, and PARTIAL KEY codes:
 
**** Key Removed... ****
 
Please tell me what I am doing wrong? Naturally, I don't want to show you ALL the Key as then someone could use this information to access your program for free.

Randem

No, Just download the latest version from the website. The registration code do work. It is generally a user misconception with getting the codes into InnoScript. If you use copy/past please make sure there are no beginning or trailing spaces in the input area.
 
The latest version is 10.5 Build 9

davethomson

I have 10.1 build 1 on my PC but have somehow lost Innoscript on my laptop. I transfered 10.4 zip to my laptop, open it and run it installation. But when running it I have to input USER NAME, TRANSACTION ID,REGISTRATION CODE & KEY. Doesn't work, i.e. just quits. 10.4 also said a newer version, 10.5.xxx I believe, was available but running that (after removing Randem folders in PROGRAM FILES per instruction in a previous post), produces RUNTIME ERROR: Path Not Found.
 
Should I just purchase a new copy?
