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?
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
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.
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...
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.
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?
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

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...
Ok here is the .iss file that DOES WORK on Vista laptop:

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.
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!)

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...
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.
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
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?
(Message edited by wiseoldman on August 01, 2011)
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.
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?
(Message edited by wiseoldman on August 01, 2011)
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.
ok, so what do I do? Do I uninstall InnoScript, delete the various Randem folders, and then reinstall?
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?
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.
(Message edited by wiseoldman on August 02, 2011)
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...
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. (https://randemsystems.com/discus/clipart/wink.gif)
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.
(Message edited by wiseoldman on August 02, 2011)
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.
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.
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.
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
Thanks for all the information. Do you normally leave the posts as-is or are they eventually deleted?
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...
