Hello Again:
Just ran into a problem. I have two programs I am work with using InnoScrip, Display Calendar and Display Calendar Notices. The first script tries to find these two file:
Source: wmp.dll; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: restartreplace sharedfile;
Source: dwmapi.dll; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: restartreplace sharedfile;
I have to delete these two "Source" lines in order to compile the program. But, when I "set up" the 2nd, Display Calendar Notices these two files don't appear.
I am using the same script file, i.e. every thing is the same except for the program I want to use.
I have re-run InnoScript on another one of my program and these two files don't appear.
Should I be concerned?
Hi Dave,
Actually you don't need to delete the files if you place the two lines in your programs template file like so:
[Files]
-Source: wmp.dll; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: restartreplace sharedfile;
-Source: dwmapi.dll; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: restartreplace sharedfile;
Then each time you run InnoScript these files will automatically be removed. As for the other issue of one search finding these files and one did not; wmp.dll is a Windows Media Player file so something in your application is calling it. the other file dwmapi.dll is a Vista only file. You don't give enough information to clarify any further. It would be helpful that when you have an issue you include a upload of your scripts (Do not post the script in the post attach it).
Thanks for the help. I did remove the two references and the program compiled just fine. I will check my code to see where I might have referenced the media player.
And, yes, next time I will post the entire script file.
Thanks again. Great program, InnoScript, and I use both the old and current versions.
You are welcome. Are you creating the script on Vista?
Nope, on my PC, a Windows 7 platform. But, using your program I did put in on a Vista, i.e. on my laptop, by using the Vista option for the NT Version. Just curious, the Windows 7 .exe will, or should, run on the latest Windows computer? Still haven't taken the time to investigate a reference to a video in the program source but will get around to it soon.
Just check source code for "problem" program and could not find any references to either "mp4" or "video" I have no idea how else to search for code that might reference video. any suggestions?
Same suggestion as before... attach the script.
The two line of code that are not needed are for "wmp.dll" and "dwmapi.dll". Hope this helps.

Dave,
I did ask that you NOT post the script but attach it as a file... ??? It takes up too much display space when you post the text instead of attaching it as a file.
BTW: in your script you have the media player as a component, so it is in your VB project as a component. You would need to go into VB6, open your project then select the menu item Project->Components then un-select the Windows Media player dll. That will solve your issue.

I am sorry about posting all the script. I am so frustrated at what I am doing that I just can't see straight and can't keep things straight in my mind when doing all this. But thank you very much for the help. Perhaps we/you can just erase the whole conservation.
If we were to erase the whole conversation then no one else could benefit from it. That is the whole purpose of this site... 8)
