Error gen1017

[NewsArchive]

Anyone...

Any idea how to fix or get around this compile error?

Including 1 service file(s)...
Compressing service file:
WTASetup.sb5(25): error GEN1017: Compression library error code: -200.
Cannot open and compress file

I have striped my script down to bare essentials and cant get rid of this
sucker. Wish I know what 'service file" it was looking for...

Thanks

Skip,

I think one of your support files cannot be found or is locked.

What is in WTASetup.sb5 line 25?

Friedrich,

Thanks, That was it. I had added a billboard but not filled it out and
thought i had deleted it.

Sorry for all of the questions, etc. I am trying to redo a large wise script
for our main application which is a bit more complicated than the scripts
that I have done in the past and I am still trying to get proficient in
sb5<g>

A couple of additional questions.

Do you have an example of adding a checkbox dialog "Do you use a Proxy
Server?" and if checked, open a dialog to request the proxy address, port,
userid, and password. That is my currrent stumbling block If not, I can
continue to work through it.

Havent had any luck getting OutputDebugString to send anything. Tried with
full debug on and running the debuger, but no output to debugview. The
debuger skips the send outputdebugstring statement.

Thanks for your time and patience!

Oops! This is a compiler bug. Fixed now, thank you.

FIX : [SB#603101] "Send OutputDebugString" script function was not
working as expected.

Its me again<g>....no hurry on this one...

I am using English, French, and Spanish in this current sb install.

In the language selection dialog, is it possible to have the language
selection choices be

English
French
Spanish

removing the (US) for English, and the (Traditional Sort) for Spanish?

I tried copying and renaming the .lng files but that didn't help.

As an aside, French (Canadian) displays in english...

Again, Thanks!

Skip,

Please see "Radio Button Demo 2.sb5" on how to create your own language
selection dialog.

BTW, if the language displays in English (e.g. Canadian French) then we
have not received a translation for this language. You can see all
languages in Options... -> Languages.

HTH,
