running a process on each file..

[NewsArchive]

Dear group,

I need to run a process (using a dll call out or calling an exe and passing
parameters) for every file within a directory (and subdirectories) of the
installed application. This is in order to "encrypt" a series of image
files.

I've noticed that there doesn't appear to be a collection which I could loop
through in order to retrieve the filename of each individual file.

What I want to do this this:

Show Progress Bar Dialog
For each file in directory
{
call dll_function_encrypt(file.path)
increment progress bar
}

if fail: rollback

What I do at present, is all the logic above in an executable, which I
include as a support file and call it at the end of the installer.

Can anyone advise on the most appropriate way to do this?

Mike,

In our internal SetupBuilder 7.0 we already have a function that (IMO) could
handle this. But first we have to check if we can port this to SB 6.6.

Mike,

SetupBuilder 6.6 is already code complete. We can make such a function
available to a 6.6 service release.

The following will then be possible:


Show Progress Bar Dialog

Set Variable %NUMBER_OF_ITEMS% to GetFileList ("c:\test") [Recurse]

Loop %ITEMS% Time
Set Variable %NEXT_ITEM% to GetNextFileListItem
call dll_function_encrypt(%NEXT_ITEM%)
increment progress bar
End

Hi Friedrich,

I know you're immensely busy; but did this feature make it through to
SetupBuilder 6.6?

I can't see it in the feature list, was this intentional?

Great work on the release, by the way :)

SetupBuilder 6.6 was already feature-complete when you suggested that
feature <g>

Your feature will make it into the first 6.6 service release.

Mike,

FYI: The new functions are included now and will be stress-tested. So the
new functionality will definitely be in the next 6.6 service release.
