Hi

If Professional v5 1109 then run statement executed BERFORE the OCX'es my
app contained was registered.

Is there a way to first install, then regsvr32 the OCX'es then RUN ?

Now it works as I test here, but if I ship it gives dosens of errors, due to
licencing /registration issues .

The way I discovered this was with my beta testers, first time installation
a lot of errors, the kille the installation and try again OK (OCX
registered)

I cant test this with the new build , my OCX are in "developer mode" and
will always be registered, and it seems to leave some sort of traces in the
registery (or someplace).


Also will there be a simple "1-2-3" and "your done", type of wizard ? the
whole process of making a build its just to complicated, 1000 of checkboxes,
stringvars, Options, scripts ect?... hey do I have to learn a new language ?
If this continue, I might have to start reading user documentation!!

KISS (Keep It Short Simple) <g>

My dreambuilder would be.: Do a SCAN (Dynamic+Static+whatever), add some
more files(ini+tps+lic), My productname+Companyname, then compile ->SHIP

The critics said about SB4(Translated from Norwegian), after giving maximum
stars "This can not be simpler ...", so why is SB5 so complicated?
I'd never read any documentation on your products before, it was so easy and
intuitive (I'd just Compile & Ship)
I'd never
In the past I'd use a new installation with SB4 to supply my customers with
one or more files (After the main installation) this way I was shure the
files went on the right spot (Folder), but now ?? mutch easyer to send the
file, and have a hour phone support learning the customer the pitfalls of
the file explorer.

And in SB5 when I Pick files manually if have listed 2-3000 files from my
developer folder, all the CLW's, *.inc and so forth, no search/Exclude from
file list, eaven if I know the name of the file I want to pick, I still have
to scroll this huge list, at least let me have a "Insert manually" button
where I can type the filename.

I came from WISE to SB (many years ago in computer terms), there(inWISE) I
had a choice between EASY,ADVANCED, AND READLY COMPLICATED[you must read the
manual!!] ) when I choose "Easy" 95% of the options dissapeared from my
screen, and this was great!!, especially if my app was just 3 small files ,
if a needed a advanced option I just turned on "Advanced" check the
option(or whatever) switch back to "Easy" for a clean screen (The advanced
option was still cheked) and did a compile.

AND I also firmly belive that a SCAN (that Wise call "Watch") should include
the (dynamic+static) (Ok it is a marketing, buisness decicion), but Wise has
their watch in their standard one.:
About WATCH: "Monitor your system as you execute an application to determine
which DLL and OCX files are used by the application and then automatically
add the necessary files to your installation." (From their website Standard
+ Prof.)
I have no problems purchasing your developer version in terms of cost, but
I'm afraid to make my life more complicated, as I strive to simplicity.

Would the developer version make my simple small installations a 3 point and
click operation ?

I know this is some whining, but I feel the need to tell you from a (NON
advanced user's) standpoint that the product (great as it is) has lost some
of the great features that the SB4 had namly "simplicity". YES this is my
personal opinion, and I know a lot of others shout loud about how pleased
they are with the advcanced features. But I've spoke to some few others that
feels the same way I do, it could wery well be somthing wrong with us, ok
maiby I've picked the wrong product and started flaming the developer, this
was not the intension, just some feelings I have from spending time with
SB5.
