That is a decision the Clarion 3rd party community will have to make. We
only provide the technology to install 3rd party products, we do not make
"the rules". But I don't think there is any discussion on it yet (in the
Clarion7 newsgroup).

Friedrich,

I'm missing some data about this situation. What is the problem? I mean
what is the exact mechanism that cause installs to fail? Is there anything
I need to change in my install scripts?

Hi Russ,

First of all, the new "Clarion 7.1" environment is detected as "Clarion 7.0"
in previous 3rd-party installations. That's because C7 and C71 share the
same registry information.

But quite a few developers have Clarion 7.0 and Clarion 7.1 installed. And
the Clarion 7.x 3rd-party installation might require Clarion 7.0 and 7.1
specific files (e.g. LIB files). All previous installations cannot
auto-detect such a scenario where C71/C70 are installed on the same machine.

If you are sure that your users do not have C7 and C71 installed and/or if
you do not have to install version specific files, then no problem and you
can continue to use your old install images. Otherwise, you have no choice
and you have to recompile your installs with SB71 (so C7 and C71 can be
auto-detected). And depending on the kind of installation method you use,
you have to modify your script to handle C7/C71 installations.

For example, if you have the following script logic in your previous C70
installs:

If %CLA_VER% Equals "Clarion 7.0" Then
! ----- Clarion 7.0 -----

then you have to change it to:

If %CLA_VER% Equals "Clarion 7.0" Or %CLA_VER% Equals "Clarion 7.1" Then
! ----- Clarion 7.x -----

to handle C70/C71 installations.

Does this help?

Friedrich
