Error control after register C7 template

[NewsArchive]

I have this part in the script...
Register all pending Clarion Templates
It does the job for both C6 and C7!
BUT I have this code after it:
If %_SB_ERRORCODE% Does Not Equal "0" Then
Display Message Box "Your template should be registrered now." --
"Templates Registrered"
Else
Display Message Box "There was a problem while registrering your
templa..." -- "Registration unsuccesful"
End

And these work ok for C6, but not for C7. Yesterday I got the "unsuccesful"
message, however the templates were registrered perfectly in C7. What changes
from one version to the other?

%_SB_ERRORCODE% holds the return value from clarioncl.exe.

What's the value of %_SB_ERRORCODE% in your case? By the way, if
%_SB_ERRORCODE% does not equal 0 then you'll also have no entry for the
template registration in your uninstall .log (means, the template will not
be unregistered during the uninstallation process).

Hmm, I'm lost... so for Clarion 7 "successful" would be %_SB_ERRORCODE%
equal 0 ?

Jorge,

Two problems:

1. The documentation is incorrect. It should read:

---

If the function succeeds, the %_SB_ERRORCODE% return value is zero.

If the function fails, the return value is nonzero.

---

Changed in the latest internal documentation now.

2. %_SB_ERRORCODE% for previous C7 template registration actions is not
handled at all (always returns 0).

As far as I know, the Clarion registration DDE process does not return an
error code if template registration "failed".

We'll try to modify the installer runtime it in such a way that it returns
nonzero (error) for C2-C6 if the file to be registered does not exist or if
the DDE conversation with the Clarion IDE cannot be created.
