Where can I find an example of installing a Clarion Template?

[NewsArchive]

I have the "detect Clarion" script but I can't figure out how to change the
destination accordingly.

Does anyone have a "blank" that complies with the install standards?

Thanks,
Paul

This works perfectly after the red file script I posted the other day
Do not forget in the dialog to declare the clarion versions supported in
"advanced" tab and the store clarion installation folder in %_SB_INSTALLDIR%
Do not forget to declare the tpl files as templates.....in each file
properties "advanced" also ....

Paul,

Simply add a new Dialog "clarion" and set the return value as stated to
sbinstalldir....

Jean-Pierre,

I guess I still don't "get it"..... Probably because I haven't had to write
much script in SB....

You said "Simply add a new Dialog "clarion" and set the return value as
stated to sbinstalldir...."

But I want to automatically determine the version of Clarion and get the
destination folder.
You suggestion indicates that the users is supposed to select the
destination folder - so then what is the point of the Clarion Detect dialog?

Looking at the Define Wizard Dialog "CLARIONVERSION" (Clarion Environment
Detection) (#DLG_DETECTCLARION_SEARCH#)
it returns it's destination in (#DLG_DETECTCLARION_SEARCH#).
So I added: #set compiler variable [%_SB_INSTALLDIR%] =
"#DLG_DETECTCLARION_SEARCH#"
and removed the normal select install destination dialog.

But it doesn't work. Still wants to install to Program Files.....

Here is the script:



[ Initialize Setup ]
! --- Define commonly used constants ---
#include script "Common Definitions.sbi"

! Important: Initialize default install folder and program group variables
Set Variable %_SB_INSTALLDIR% to "[INSTALLDIR]"
Set Variable %_SB_PROGRAMGROUP% to "[PRODUCTNAME]"

! %_SB_BACKUPDIR% holds the path that all backup files will be copied to
when overwritten
Set Variable %_SB_BACKUPDIR% to "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\BACKUP"


[ Features ]
! If features are enabled, %_SB_FEATURESID% holds all selections separated
by a vertical bar "|"
! Warning: It is not recommended to manually modify the %_SB_FEATURESID%
variable!


[ Setup Types ]
! If setup types are enabled, %_SB_SETUPTYPEID% holds the selected type
! Warning: It is not recommended to manually modify the %_SB_SETUPTYPEID%
variable!

::Define Setup Type "Typical"
::Define Setup Type "Minimal"
::Define Setup Type "Custom"

[ User Interface ]
! Wizard dialog definition(s)
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (Welcome)
Define Wizard Dialog "#2" (License Agreement)
Define Wizard Dialog "CLARIONVERSION" (Clarion Environment Detection)
(#DLG_DETECTCLARION_SEARCH#)
#set compiler variable [%_SB_INSTALLDIR%] = "#DLG_DETECTCLARION_SEARCH#"
Define Wizard Dialog "#4" (Ready to Install)

! The Wizard Loop displays the dialog screens that the user sees in the
installation
Loop Wizard (Abort Dialog Active)
End

! Display progress dialog
Display Setup Progress Dialog

! Create installation .log
Create Installation Log "[UNINSTALL_LOG]"

[ Create Folders ]
::Create Folder "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\DOCS\ClarionQuickBooksConnect" (Always
Install)

[ Install Files ]
Install File "C:\CwProj6\cQBXml\Doc\ClarionQBConnect.chm" to
"%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\DOCS\ClarionQuickBooksConnect\Cla rionQBConnect.chm"
(Always Install)

[ Finalize Setup ]
! Register all queued pending file operations
Register all pending file operations

! Register all queued Clarion Template files
Register all pending Clarion Templates

[ Final User Interface ]
! Final wizard dialog definition(s)
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (Finish)

! The Wizard Loop displays the dialog screens that the user sees in the
installation
Loop Wizard (Abort Dialog Active)
End

Paul,

IMO, your only problem is that you have not set the "Store Clarion
Installation Folder" to "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%"

Open the "Clarion Environment Detection" Properties dialog, select the 3rd
"Advanced" tab, set "Store Clarion Installation Folder" to
"%_SB_INSTALLDIR%" and you are done.

Does this help?

Friedrich - a spin off question from this ....

What if you have C6 and C7 on the same machine? How does it know which
folder to use?

TIA

The "Clarion Environment Detection" dialog allows you to detect specific
Clarion versions on your end-user's system and present a user selection
interface via radio buttons. For example, if your application supports C6
and C7 and both versions are detected on the target machine, there will be a
Clarion 6 and Clarion 7 radio button option. The installer will then detect
the installation folder (and template registration mechanism) based on the
selection.

Does this help?
