Randem Systems Support Board

A script is ALWAYS created without exception... You just did not look at the script tab.
 
OK, so now you have to make any additions to the script that you may want then compile and test your script.

Just what are you attempting to accomplish?  
 
I am trying to create a script that InnoSetup 5.3.9 can read to make an installation
 
 
 
Do you generate a script?  
 
For the first time, yes, now I do. Before, no script was created.
 
 
 
What is it about the logs that has your attention?
 
Since no script was being created, and since I was informed (and still am) that there are 3 errors, I went to the logs to see what the errors contain. That seemed pretty logical to me. I wasn't looking for trouble. I have used your InnoScript before (a while ago) and nothing like this ever happened, and I do try to check to see if I am making a bonehead mistake, look in log files, read documentation, before asking for help.

And what exactly is the problem??? I don't see one... That is not the script.

Again, from scratch, carefully deleting all those weird folders that are automatically included on the Search Folders tab, and adding just the one new folder that contains copies of all three of the DLL files. After Create, here is the contents of your info popup dialog:

No you don't have a corrupt install. Just what are you attempting to accomplish? Do you generate a script? What is it about the logs that has your attention?
 
You put the files in a different location and you generate the script...
 
I don't understand why you are searching the logs. You seem to be creating problems where none exists. Post your script.

Ralph,
 
No matter what I do, I get the same errors.
 
I have very carefully started over several times. I created yet another new folder, and copied those 3 DLL files into it. I have included that new folder in the InnoScript Search Folders. Then save the InnoScript project (otherwise, the file folders are not saved), then Create Script (Safe Mode, though I have also tried Unsafe Mode with the same results.) When the Create is done, I invariably have the same errors.
 
So, puzzled, I tried to create a script for a different VBP. Starting over from scratch (and I have tried closing down InnoScript and re-starting it), one very puzzling thing that I noticed is that if I click the Search Folders tab before I even select a VBP to begin the project, I get a very strange, seemingly random list of:
 
C:WINNTSystem32
C:WINNT
C:WINNTsystem32WBEM

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Toolsbinn
C:Program FilesATI TechnologiesATI.ACECore-Static
C:Program FilesCommon FilesDivX Shared
C:Documents and SettingsDennis LeahyRandem SystemsInnoScript
 
After selecting the correct VBP file, the Search Folders contents does not automatically change.
 
Also, clicking the tab Debug Log, there are already a couple of hundred lines in there.
 
Do I have a corrupt install of InnoScript? If not, can you please help me figure out what is going on.
 
Thanks,
 
Dennis

You don't do anything in VB. This is what you need to do:
 
1 - Copy the files to a different folder.
2 - Add that folder to the Search Folders tab in InnoScript.
3 - Re-run InnoScript to pickup the new file locations.
 
That is it...

What should I do differently?

Never mind, I just tried selecting each reference, within VB, by selecting the DLL from a different folder. That does not work, as I'm sure it has to be the correct/same folder as the DLL is registered in the registry.
 
By the way, this is Version 10.3 Build 7

Well, run log has the same 3 errors.
 
winnt/system32 I have listed in Exclude folders
and it is not in Include folders
 
What should I try next? Do I need to delete the references within VB, and select the DLL files (within VB) in the alternative folder?
 
Dennis

Thanks, Ralph (man, I wasn't even close, sorry)
 
OK, removed the system32 folder from the folders to be searched, put in a new folder to search that has copies of those files.
 
Giving it another whirl...

Yes, that may be true but that's not what I stated. You should not have files from the system folder in your deployment. Files in the system folder will be ignored. You must move those files to another folder for deployment and put that location in the search tab.
 
The screen at the end of the run state that also as well as the instructions.
 
Depending on where your project is ..\Winnt\System may not be the same as c:\Winnt\System that is why there is an error.
 
P.S. The name is Ralph

Thanks for the reply, randem (can't remember your name, maybe Jason?)
 
I checked and those 3 files ARE in the directory where they are supposed to be C:WINNTSystem32
 
Same results (same error I reported). So, I even tried re-registering the DLLs, but got the same results again.
 
I even went back into the VB project, removed one of the references (MSBIND.DLL), then navigated to it in WINNTStstem32 and re-selected it. (just to see if that one DLL would then be 'found', but it wasn't. Same error.
 
Thanks again for any help. I'm under the gun to get this app out the door.
 
Dennis

Aloha dtleahy,
 
InnoScript is just telling you that you are referencing files that do not exist in the current location. If you put the new location in the search path tab, then InnoScript should be able to find the missing files for your application.

Hello,
 
I have not used InnoScript in a long time, don't remember much, so I'm realy a newbie to this.
 
I got 3 Invalid reference in VBP errors in the script. What do I do next?
