I used that "other" install product for MANY years and developed some
rather bad habits due to limitations in that product. Consider this a
HUGE thank you to Friedrich.
Don't look back, it is a waste of time and effort. I've done just
that, wasted a BUNCH of time and effort in the past few days trying to
duplicate some behavior while moving to SetupBuilder. Well, until I
took a deep breath and realized my head was in a dark and dank place
and needed to be extracted... seriously!
For many years I created many verbose chunks of scripting to ascertain
information and to make my installs work. I invested lots of time in
moving them to SB before it dawned on me that SB already includes a
TON of Clarion centric support - yeah, DUH! is the correct expression.
That said, for third party developers (if there are any NOT already
using SB), familiarize yourself with the Clarion support built into
SB. It will save you DAYS of wasted effort.
Friedrich, THANK YOU!
Now I can get this install finished in no time since I threw out the
old concepts and have adopted new ones. What a waste!
Again... Friedrich, THANK YOU!
