Randem Systems Support Board

I relocated my supporting files to a different directory, which seemed to fix the problem.  I'm not sure what the problem was, but I'll just chalk it up to one of life's great mysteries and be happy it's working now.  Thanks.

It depends on what you put in your search path and how you placed it there. Some examples would help. When doing so copy and paste your search path name here and post the script. Did you look in the logs to find out why this happened? Post the logs also (zip the .pjt and all the log files for the run).

Sorry, I guess they aren't on that list.  I thought I saw a couple on there, but they were actually similarly named files.  And then I noticed that when I created my script in unsafe mode, it found the files.  Reading more, I understand that it just doesn't want to get those files from the c:windowssystem32 directory.  I have created a SupportingFiles directory elsewhere, copied the files there and I put that directory in my Search Path area.  However, InnoScript doesn't find the files there.  Changing my search path seems to have no effect whatsoever.  Am I not understanding something about the way the Search Path works?

Who stated that those files were unsafe?

I just received e-mail notice for version 7.2 and downloaded it.  That seems to have fixed the problem with locating VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe.  Thanks.
 
How do I go about identifying the proper Service pack for unsafe files such as comdlg32.ocx, tabctl32.ocx, msmapi32.ocx, mscomctl.ocx, etc.?

On the support page you can download all of the separate OS Updater downloads for each individual OS or just the large one that will support ALL the Windows OS's. It all depends on what your target OS is. If you want not to worry about which will be your target OS you use the VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe file.
 
If you choose the OS and have place the path to the Downloaded file in the search path area it will automatically be included in your installation package the next time you run InnoScript.

1) I downloaded VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe.  In the OS Updater dropdown box, I've selected Win 9x/ME/NT/2K/XP.
 
2. Pardon my ignorance, but (a) how do I determine the correct Service Pack for the items I want to install (just looking for a link or a kick in the right direction); and (b) how do I include the service pack(s) in my script?
 
3. My 19 LCD is incapable of 1280x800 resolution, but I'll make do with adjusting to something that allows me to see all of the items on the screen.

Aloha Sean,
 
1) Which OS Updater did you download and is InnoScript looking for the one of the same name?
 
2) If the files are on the UNSAFE list, there is a reason they were removed from the script. Putting them back in will only make your installation unsafe. Why would you want to do that? You are supposed to distribute the Service Packs for the items that are on the list.
 
3) InnoScript is designed on a 1280x800 widescreen monitor. So that is the resolution it was designed to work with. I will check what it states on the support board.

Hi.  I'm a new user of InnoScript, and I think I'm not understanding something.  I'm using v7.1 Build 6 to create a script for a fairly simple VB6 app.  I'm having the following issues:
 
1) I'm trying using the OS Updater option.  I have downloaded the updater to my PC, and then I inserted the path of that file into the Search Path list.  However, when I run the script, it is not found.
 
2) 11 files that I need to distribute are on the Unsafe list.  I have created copies of the files I'd like to distribute in another location.  I inserted the path of the files into the Search Path list, but again, they were not found.
 
3) On my PC, the InnoScript screen does not display properly in 1280x1024.  The bottom part of the window gets cut off.  I reduced my resolution to 1024x768 and that seemed to fix the problem.  [I can live with this, just curious because the Support board says to use 1280x768... maybe I have an old version of the app?]
 
Thanks!
Sean
