View Full Version : Folder not found at installation run time

I have built my install/setup exe and run it on another computer.

I get past the dialogs and it starts copying files and then says folder
"\wybatap" is not accessible or doesn't exist.

How do I find where in the script this is? It all works OK when I say
install for C7 but I get this error when installing on C6 (and I
probably should,) but I don't know how to find the line in question
that is failing.

I don't think I can debug on the machine I have SB7 on because clarion
6 is not installed there.

Is that the entire path that is shown in the message? or is it just
the last part of some path that is missing?

Thanks, Bob Roos

That means that a target folder variable value is empty. It's a line that
appends "\wybatap" to the value.

What you can try to do is to let the user start your setup.exe with the /E
command line switch (event logging mode) and then check the c:\sbevents.txt
to find out where a target folder variable is empty.

Hope this helps.
