All,
I have uploaded a new version 1.20 of the "Clarion 6 UAC Installation Fix"
application.
For compatibility reasons, it's still called "Vista fix".
As you probably know, the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7
operating systems provide a new security feature named User Account Control
(UAC). An "UAC-aware" installer is required in order to correctly install
your applications.
Even if your Clarion 3rd party vendor provides a UAC-aware installer, it's
not possible to correctly auto-detect the installed Clarion version. The
original Clarion 6 installer is unable to write to the WIN.INI file and to
update the system path environment variable on Windows Vista, Windows Server
2008 and Windows 7. These actions require a UAC-aware installer with
administrator execution level privileges.
We have developed a tiny "Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix" installer
application compiled with SetupBuilder 7.0. This freeware application makes
the appropriate WIN.INI modifications so 3rd party installations can detect
Clarion 6 on Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 machines. It also
adds the Clarion \Bin path to the system path environment variable.
You can download the code-signed installer application from this URL:
http://lindersoft.com/c6_vista_fix.exe
This is a freeware application and you can redistribute it to your
customers.
You can use the fix on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.
Because Clarion 6 cannot be run on 64-bit versions of Windows, the
application detects x64 now and displays a warning.
Just follow the wizard to apply the fix and all 3rd party installers should
be able to auto-detect your Clarion 6 environment on Vista and Windows
Server 2008.
To uninstall the "Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix", just start
"c6_vista_fix.exe" again or use the "Uninst_Clarion 6 Installation Fix for
Vista.exe" uninstaller application located in your Clarion 6 folder.
Note: you don't need this fix for Clarion 7!
Hope this helps.
