SetUpBuilder Problem - "Build Cabs first"

[dhillinmkewi]

I reinstalled these 2 simple applications. I build the cabs, but proceed by pressing the Build Setup button and I get a message box "Build Cabs first." But the Cab file is created in the SetupBuilder directory and contains the following output:

1.05
D:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC 2003\Tools\Cabwiz.exe
D:\Documents and Settings\Dennis Hill.DPHSUPERP4\My Documents\_BoundlessPartners\Development\SetUpBuil der\ezsetup.exe
true
true

Any clue at all?

Thanks very much -
Dennis

P.S. The ini file for the application is in the program directory as MasterTime_PPC and contains the following:

[Version]
Signature = "$Windows NT$"
Provider = "Sagacity LLC"
CESignature = "$Windows CE$"

[CEStrings]

P.P.S. And the do.bat file (also found in the application directory) contains:

The Cab files are compressed packages of files.
Are you sure they exist (2 files) in the working folder?

Try to change the projects name (in setupbuilder) to a name without spaces and see if it works.

Thanks for the help.

Just to sum up what the problem was and the solution.

1: SetupBuilder was asking for the Cab files to be built even though they had been correctly built.

2. Solution one, changed the name of the setup to NOT contain any spaces.

Result of this was that the error went away but no output was created.

3. Run SetupBuilder as Administrator - this is a vista thing for the lucky people who still have not had the fun of Vista 64 Bit.

Result it works.. just delivered late this saturday night first draft application to client just 7 days after starting with my first pocket pc application.

Thanks erel for the help and for providing us with a simple tool that just does the job and for 60 quid as well.
