Yes, you are supposed to replace your InnoScript.exe with this one... The complete installation for the beta is online also.

jamj

coming up 'file missing'
Am I suppose to put this in origional folder and overwrite existing exe? It did not run installation, just extracted exe file.

Randem

Ok, here is something to work with. It's a little different (Add Files / Add Folders) but you should catch on quickly.
 
Thanks for your assistance...
 

Randem

Ok, now I can duplicate it so I have something to work with.

If you want to help solve this issue, you have to give what is asked for. It may mean nothing to you but we are the experts
 
Please post the files...

jamj

Enclosing iss file. You will notice in pjt file that all 'Add files' are unchecked and set to 'app'.
Line 6 in iss file gives output dir as localappdata.
Although this is an exe file it is not main project and has been added through Add Files, therefore I don't think exe or vbp info will be of help.

Randem

Zip and Post your project .vbp, .exe and .iss files. I don't see anything in the .pjt file.

jamj

problem is with 'q.. b.. back up.exe' Is showing app in i/script but in actual script is showing  
localappdata.

Randem

I cannot verify that. Everything I see is going where it is supposed to. Can you post your project file where this occurs.

jamj

ref 9.0.7 beta.
Not all Add Files} marked 'app' appear in app.path. Out of three I have one going to localappdata.

Randem

Progress, I found a few things especially with the menu list. It was an item in the language file that needed to be removed.
 
Install this update for a better concept of what is going on. Pay close detail to the Add Files and Add Folders Tabs.
 

Randem

It's not that hard, it just looks hard because you don't understand it yet. However if you just try the project it will become perfectly clear. It is a full working project... All you would need to do is incorporate it into your code...
 
It basically does everything for you...

jamj

can you not change back to AppData and make life simple?
 
Looking at the example for limiting user makes me feel like giving up.

Randem

Correct, We have to change that for in the latest release we installed into the LocalAppData location and since there is no environment variable for that you need to use the example in the code to find the correct path.
 
BTW: You don't limit the user the OS does... If you don't follow the techniques described you WILL have problems on Vista and any user that have an account of Limited User Setup by the network admin or computer admin.
