Comparing logs

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

I ended up splitting this install into two, one for Clarion 7 and one for
the rest.

I found out that I'm missing two files somewhere in the C7 install.
Comparing the logs is very difficult because the filenumbers are all over
and I can't see a way anywhere to sort the files for example alphabetically,
which would be a big help when comparing logs.

Is this possible in SB 6.x and if not, is this something that you'd cosider
in SB 7?

Also: For whatever reason, one of the installs includes a support file
"\bin32\0009.lib" I have no idea why or what that is for. I do not have
any files in the "Support Files" section in "Setup Requirements".

I cheated and copy/pasted the list into Excel and formatted to sort the
filenames etc. so I could compare. Worked;)

Thanks:)

Best regards,

When you say log, do you mean the uninstall .log or the compiler .htm?

This is an installer runtime library for Clarion template registration and
will be linked into your setup.exe. It adds around 4KB to your installer.

Good idea <g> ;-)

By the way, in SetupBuilder 7 we have this:

---

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Option to sort the file list in the html compiler report
in alphabetical order.

---

Just checked this and it works fine (sorts the file list in alphabetical
order). But there is a bug in this new SB7 feature because it ALWAYS sorts
it in alphabetical order at the moment (so it's not optional). This will be
fixed in the next Beta-1 build.

Sorry for the confusion: I mean the html log. When I did a "Save As" and
changed the install to not use feature/setup types the files were
re-arranged so the file 1 in one setup was completely different from file 1
in the other, even though both included all the same files (but not in the
same folders;)

But it is _only_ listed in ONE of the installs. Like I said above those two
installs are practically identical (one is saved from the other) so I don't
quite see why it is in one and not the other...

I assume that you are NOT using the "Register as Template in the Clarion
Registry" Install File option in the above install!

I think it's not listed in the C7 (with AppGen) install because this version
does not support template registration from an installer yet. So it is only
in your C6 install, right?

Does this make sense?

YES! I have my own script that handles that stuff and it excludes it if it
is using Clarion 7, so that's the reason:)
