Hi Arnor,

When the actual Clarion installer is used to install Clarion there are
markers that get put in place in the Windows Registry and other places.

If the Clarion folder has been "copied" to a machine then SetupBuilder will
not be able to "see" it because none of the markers are there.

So it won't show up as a viable version for an install despite actually
being there (despite being on the list of versions that your installer
supports).

We ran into this a lot over the last few years and the way we worked around
it was to have options in our installer to install into "detected" versions
of Clarion and also an option to "manually" install into a particular
version.

In the case of the manual install, we just assume that Clarion is installed
to the default location as a default (and still offer the user a chance to
change the root path).

That seems to work well and covers all the bases for developers who have
somehow ended up with undetectable versions on their computer.

I hope that helps!

Charles
