Randem Systems Support Board

Actually that is the very time you would need to pay attention to the messages...

ok sure Randem. Next time it happens I will note it down. The only reason I didn't do it was because I was under pressure to get my program working in all the classrooms.

The script look good. I would need to see the actual message that gets generated. That would most likely clear things up.

Oh yeah, windows is up to date. It doesn't happen on all the pc's I install on. The thing is I'm installing my app at a school and I am installing on about 15 pc's. That error happened on about 5 of them and when I ran the installation a second time it ran smoothly.

Thanks Randem, That clears everything up for me.  
 
This is my script. Note**. I will be changing the file locations of the files that are being taken from the system32 folder later on today.

In regards to your script and Windows shutting down you will need to post you script for a look see. Windows does not normally shut down due to an installation. Is your windows up-to-date? (Windows Update - Custom Installation)?

Yes, If they got thru InnoScripts Unsafe file check then most likely they are safe to deploy. Those files are safe to deploy because they are part of VB and your app will not work without them. You won't get them past Inno Setup when you attempt to compile for they are from the system32 folder and Inno Setup WILL complain. Copy those files to another folder and have InnoScript take the files from that folder then everything in regards to that will be OK.

Randem another thing is, sometimes my installation fails and says the workstation is shutting down. I find this happens while scripten.exe is being installed. How can I fix this. I didn't right down the exact error message. sorry

ok thanks Randem,
 
I understand that part. But are those examples I posted safe to distribute with my setup.

The statement still remains the same
 
NONE of the versions searched the system32 folder unless you used UNSAFE mode.
 
Check to make sure you are not running in UNSAFE mode.

Hi Randem,
 
These are some examples. Please clarify it for me. I will read the manual also.

Correct me if i'm wrong. But wouldn't placing them in another folder and deploying them be the same as taking them from the System32 folder.

Hi Nitesh,
 
Incorrect... NONE of the versions searched the system32 folder unless you used UNSAFE mode.
 
What following file? The topic of missing files is covered in the manual. You are supposed to supply the location of the missing files. If they are in the system32 folder you do need to copy them elsewhere if you are still going to deploy them.

}is it just me or is my post blank.

Let me redo it:
 
Hi Randem,
 
In reference to the attached image I noticed the new Innnoscript does not search the system32 and system folders unless I specify them in the search file path.
 
With regards to the following files, what should I do since they are declared missing according to Innoscript. How must I dustribute them and where will they be copied once my installation runs on a client pc.
