View Full Version : Clarion 6 UAC Installation Fix Version 1.20

All,

I have uploaded a new version 1.20 of the "Clarion 6 UAC Installation Fix"
application.

For compatibility reasons, it's still called "Vista fix".

As you probably know, the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7
operating systems provide a new security feature named User Account Control
(UAC). An "UAC-aware" installer is required in order to correctly install
your applications.

Even if your Clarion 3rd party vendor provides a UAC-aware installer, it's
not possible to correctly auto-detect the installed Clarion version. The
original Clarion 6 installer is unable to write to the WIN.INI file and to
update the system path environment variable on Windows Vista, Windows Server
2008 and Windows 7. These actions require a UAC-aware installer with
administrator execution level privileges.

We have developed a tiny "Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix" installer
application compiled with SetupBuilder 7.0. This freeware application makes
the appropriate WIN.INI modifications so 3rd party installations can detect
Clarion 6 on Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 machines. It also
adds the Clarion \Bin path to the system path environment variable.

You can download the code-signed installer application from this URL:
http://lindersoft.com/c6_vista_fix.exe

This is a freeware application and you can redistribute it to your
customers.

You can use the fix on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.
Because Clarion 6 cannot be run on 64-bit versions of Windows, the
application detects x64 now and displays a warning.

Just follow the wizard to apply the fix and all 3rd party installers should
be able to auto-detect your Clarion 6 environment on Vista and Windows
Server 2008.

To uninstall the "Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix", just start
"c6_vista_fix.exe" again or use the "Uninst_Clarion 6 Installation Fix for
Vista.exe" uninstaller application located in your Clarion 6 folder.

Note: you don't need this fix for Clarion 7!

Hope this helps.

Friedrich,

I'd mentioned your fix recently in another NG to someone who was having 5.5
troubles on Vista.

Not having used it myself (I'm doing Clarion in an XP VM), and not having
used 5.5 at all in several years... is there any reason that the things
you're fixing wouldn't be applicable to 5.5 also?

The c6_vista_fix.exe does only work for Clarion 6. It does not work with
previous Clarion versions.

You should not need to do this for 5.5 and older. They updated the win.ini
correctly and I believe they also updated the path correctly. (I think the
5.5 install was done with wise?) Neither happens in the C6 install.

Back again. c6_vista_fix.exe updated to version 1.21!

There was a compiler incompatibility.

Can you tell me what is new in 1.20/1.21? I'm using an older build so I'm
wondering if I need to upgrade to this new build?

The previous "Clarion 6 UAC Installation Fix" did not install on Windows 7.
The new version 1.21 works fine on Win7.
