Installation test

Successful install should put these files in these folders:
Test.exe into <installdir>
nellie link file into \windows\help
nelhlp.htm into \windows
It will put an icon under Programs.
It will have remove under the normal Settings.
This is just a test program with a couple of buttons -- one should display the help file of the actual program I am working on.

Works on O2 Atom Life WM6(upgrade) too!

What's a guy to do? I've done nothing more than downloaded and compiled the SetupBuilder program - do I need to edit it before compiling and using it? It appears so, but I am looking for a quick and not-so-dirty answer -

Thanks, all! The DOS output window is clipped below (sorry about the long pathnames)...

Well, ain't that a kick - When I gave up hope and exited SetUpBuilder, the files then appeared...interesting, if not altogether strange.

Any other hints on using this and other tools would be much appreciated.

Regards!

Files (do.bat, Cab.ini, MasterTime2007_PPC) are built and in the proper directories, ut now when I go to run the EXE builder, it says to Build CABS first - but they're built - Did I need to do other things with SetUpBuilder (1.05 Sven version) before using it? Or am I just not getting it (which is most likely)?

Thanks -
Dennis

Hi and Welcome...

I've never noticed that behavior from the setup builder, but then again i only used it once...

Anyway, The setup builder is quite straight foward and the only faulty feature is the abilitry to copy specific files to specific folders....like copying x files to your default app folder and y files to the Windows folder, like help files or link files...etc...

Everytime Erel Updates is info on the possible AppFolders possible I update the setup builder...
My current release,always based on Erels setup builder, is now the 1.1 wich allows you to create a shortcut in the Starup,Programs or Games Folder...

I guess I should have read: Istall Cabwiz first, the EZSetup from SBP -
That should do it -

The important output of SetupBuilder is the inf file.
Now you can manually go use cabwiz.exe with the inf file and it should work.
