I'm in the process of learning Inno Setup, and I am using the Inno Setup Wizard. After completing the Wizard, my script compiles with a number of errors, all related to REALSQLDatabase. When RB compiles my app for the Windows platform, it produces my app (TimberValue.exe) and a folder called "TimberValue Libs". This folder contains the file REALSQLDatabase.dll which (I assume) contains needed modules for REALSQLDatabase. When using the Inno Setup Wizard, I have included the TimberValue Libs folder where it allows you to attach folders and/or files. This failed. I tried it again by including REALSQLDatabase.dll as a file, and this did not work either (same script compile errors). So I suspect that dll files go elsewhere. I write software for mainframes and Mac, but not Windows. So I'm a newbie with the Windows registry/icons/dll/etc environment. How do I handle the TimberValue Libs folder? And its content, REALSQLDatabase.dll?

What am I missing? You have to provide the actual file icon for InnoSetup as well. It won't get it from the built application.

Thanks for the Libs help. The Inno Setup script now compiles without errors and the program appears to be functioning normally.
I am left with only one problem. The program creates two different files, with icons. But the icons are missing (Windows substitutes its default icon). The icons are part of the compiled app; and the [Icons] section in the Inno script does not appear to be related to the icons associated with files created by the app. I suspect this is another simple solution.

What am I missing? A number of replies to this thread have given you very useful locations where you will find details about including your icons. A little research will serve you well.

First, make sure you're using the "Quick Start Pack" (or whatever they call it) with it's companion tools as it makes things easier. Find the section that copies your additional folder and, for each one, modify it like this: From: \path\to\TimberValue Libs\* To: {app}\TimberValue Libs Be sure to check the boxes that tell it to recurse and create the subdirectories. __________________________________________________________________________ Kem Tekinay (212) 201-1465 MacTechnologies Consulting Fax (914) 242-7294 http://www.mactechnologies.com To join the MacTechnologies Consulting mailing list, send an e-mail to: <email address removed> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> |
