Script seems to ignore my call dll?

[NewsArchive]

I think I have tamed the passing of the install directory to my dll, but

The script seems to be ignoring my call dll
I make changes and recompile the dll, put messages in the DLL, but the
messages never appear.

Even put a message at the start of the dll Message('Starting') and never
shows.

The path in the Required support file checks out.

Perhaps the wrong copy of the dll is being loaded.

Are you including the .dll as a "support file"?

That's how I do it. SB automatically extracts the dll to whatever the
temp folder is.

Yes. I checked the validity of the support file.

I would suggest to check the "Call DLL" return value.

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

Dan,

I have developed a small source code demo for you (see attached).

The installer calls the DLL and passes the installation folder
(%_SB_INSTALLDIR% variable value) to the DLL (see attached screenshots).

Does this help?

For some reason I was using %_SB_RETURN%, may be a carry over from SB4?

I will test with %_SB_ERRORCODE%

This helped with passing the install folder fine, but I think I have too
much
other stuff going on in the DLL for me to do what I want. I guess I need to
take a course
in scripting language.

I think I can still do what I want in the older version

Thanks

There is no need to convert the stuff from the DLL code to SetupScript. If
your DLL code works, then you can continue to use it!

What do you have to do? Perhaps we can help?

I hate to waste our time, but let's try one more time. I will send you the
clw for the Dll and a note of what I am trying to accomplish via Private
Email

TIA
