View Full Version : clarion root folder + installing different dll versions

Hi,

Trying to get to grips with SetupBuilder Pro and would appreciate a
kick-start :)

1. What's the right way to get a Clarion root folder (e.g. c:\c55\) when
looking at the detected clarion ide (c:\c55\c55pe.exe)?

2. And how do you move on to push files into (say) c:\c55\lib\ or
c:\c55\3rdparty\lib\ ?

3. Installing into Clarion 6, say I want to pick a different dll based on
clarion build number. Got the build number OK from the help but what then?
"Features" looked useful but that's Developer only. Putting IF.... /END...
into the [ Install Files ] section seems to work but is it the right way to
go about this?


TIA

If you are using the "Clarion Environment Detection" dialog, the variable
holds the path to the IDE.

Use the "Extract Folder" Script Function twice to get the Clarion "root"

Set Variable %ROOT% to ScriptItem->Extract Folder(%IDEPATH%)
Set Variable %ROOT% to ScriptItem->Extract Folder(%ROOT%)

Create a 3rdparty and 3rdparty\lib folder under "Application Folder"
(Files and Folder -> lower left list)

If you have the build, I would suggest to use If..Then..Else Statements.

Does this help?
