Unknown string resource name: DLG_SETUPTYPE_TYPE1

Today, I brought up setupbuilder to compile a patch of our software.

To my suprise and utter horror, what is normally a mundane exercise (because
SB just works!), had a glitch.

Today I got hundres of errors messages, all seemingly related to SB
resources. For example:
Tire Power Install.sb6(213): error GEN1020: Unknown string resource name:

There were MANY, MANY more.
Have I botched my install directory? do I have a broken file?
Can anyone tell me what direction to look in?

HELP!!!!

Thanks!

When you look in the Text and Messages Visualizer, do you see the messages
that should be there? (pic)
Are the appropriate language files in the Language folder inside your
SetupBuilder folder?

Jane Fleming

I just found that as this message came through.
Everything in Text and Messages is gone.

The language files look ok.

I pulled an older copy from our version control, and it compiles ok. (older
= a month or so).
I also noted that the Text Resources seem to be ok in the older version.

so, 2 question:

1. How do I rebuild/copy/whatever my Text Resources?
2. How would this get corrupted?

Thanks for you help, by the way!

I don't know how it might have become corrupted.
From the Project menu, try the "Update Text Resources" or "Refresh Text
Resources" item.

Jane

"Refresh Text Resources" gave me a warning that it would reset all my custom
resources.

So, I tried "Update Text Resources" first, which did not give me the
warning.
All looked good, then I noticed that all my custom Text was gone.
My guess is that they were already gone, and the update just loaded what the
defaults were.

I was able to copy the script changes to my older version from our Version
Control, so this has me back up to speed.

Note to self: make backups more often! :-)

Thanks for all your help.
