Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Thanks Friedrich. If you're interested (I'm using SetupBuilder for the installer, of course!), I'm making a Game (in Clarion .. yowza) called Ballikin. http://ballikin.com/download It's 35 builds into the Alpha phase. So a fair way to go, but getting there!

Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Thanks for the update BTW, Windows needs exclusive write access to the file to embed the manifest. So it's very well possible that it was "in-use" (locked) or a protection software product (anti-virus / ant-spyware) was busy monitoring it. Friedrich
Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Blurg. Now it's working fine. It's "possible" that the game was open in the background when I tried to run the script .. Possibly, but I'll never admit to that!
Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Hi Friedrich, Hmmm, I didn't have the "permanent" checkbox in, but even with that, I get the following error: error GEN1055: File not found or locked [@7]: C:\_work\Mine\ballikin\ballikin.exe * Attached screenshot. File is definitely there. Not sure what "locked" means, but I'm going to have a search of the forums now.
Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Stu, The code I posted will manifest your .exe. It will also create a "dummy" setup.exe (that does nothing) as part of the generation process. But you can add a "#delete file(s)..." compiler directive and it will immediately remove the created setup.exe. I can post a demo project if you want. Friedrich
Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Hi Friedrich, So this seems to create a whole folder + installer? Is there some way to MANIFEST the exe in my dev folder and be able to run it .. OR if Setupbuilder creates a new exe, for it to just be the MANIFESTED exe - not an install exe?
Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Yes! Thank you Friedrich. Mostly, I'll be testing from Clarion (compiling with the big button that runs the exe). I wonder if clarion can be told to run something after compilation and before running?
Re: So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testi Stu, Just create a "dummy" script that does nothing more than manifesting your .exe and you are done ;-) Compile the "script" before you test your app. New Project... | Blank Script... Does this help? Friedrich
So My Exe is Manifested by the Installer .. What about the "look n feel" in testing? Hi Folks, Apologies for the big long title. If your SetupBuilder installer is embedding the app manifest (Which is way cool), then what do you do about the "look n feel" of the app while testing? IE .. When I compile I get the old blocky look. It's no big deal, I can do demos etc from an installed version .. But just wondering if I'm missing something really simple (probably!). Thanks!
