Setup Builder -- If Clarion........

[NewsArchive]

I am trying to extract the folder for Clarion 6 (.0,.1,.2,.3). I am
using a script built by someone else and there are "If System does have
Clarion 6.0 then ...." statements.

The help file shows the "If Clarion" but I don't find it in the list of
Control Statements in the Script Editor to select from.

The Clarion 7 folder seems to be set OK, but the Clarion 6 (6.0 in this
case) does not seem to be returned in %__SB_TMP%

Also, I thought I set up debugging full and used the "install event
entry" statement. But the statement shows up in green in the script
just like comments do and I get no output file in the c:\ folder.

Thanks for the help,

Bob,

You have to enable Clarion support in Options... | General tab to see the
Clarion specific functions.

Install Event Entry writes to the sbevents log file at installer runtime (if
you use the /E command line switch).

Does this help?

Hi Friedrich,

Yes, that helps a lot. I took the "restart IDE" to mean Clarion and
that wasn't up. Maybe it should say "restart setupbuilder"?

Also it would be helpful if the help mentioned the /E switch in the
discussion of Install Event Entry.

Thanks for the help. I am sure to have more questions.

Hi Bob,

The following is in the help file for this function:

---
Remarks

Using the /E command line parameter causes the setup to log important
software events into the c:\sbevents.txt file.

Event Logging functionality will be expanded in future SetupBuilder builds.

:) I knew when I wrote that that I should have looked first. :)

OK, another question. What tells SB7 that Clarion 6.0 is installed?
Looking at the trace it appears not to know it is there.

Thanks, bob roos

For C6, it uses the "standard way" (the win.ini).

If the Clarion 6 files are there does not mean that C6 is correctly
"installed" <g>. Especially on UAC-aware systems, it's not enough to copy
or install it to the machine. On top of this, you have to run the "Vista
fix".

Thank you again.

I had installed it on Vista and not done the "fix". SB now knows about
C6. I just have to get this script lined up right.

Got it working just the way I want.

Tahnks so much for the help,
