Error - Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable

[NewsArchive]

I've followed the help on SB including this in my script - but I keep
getting the attached error.

I've also attached screenshots of my setup and my version of SB.

Any help is greatly Appreciated.

Thanks,

The main problem is that your version is not compatible with the latest
operating systems and so you can't use the new redistributable packages. If
you are interested, I can upload the old MSI include script for you.

Can you please do that ? At least I'll be able to package the app and make
the boss happy.

When you do, can you please post the download link here ?

You should have received a download link for the old MSI31 redistributable
module now (valid for 48 hours).

Can you please email it this email address ( embedded in this NG account ) ?
Our server will be down for a week or so - going thru some changes and I
cannot receive email until it's back up so I have to use my gmail account.

Hi Friedrich,

I did exactly what the instructions said - example:
=========================
Please remove your current MSI31 module, unzip into your SetupBuilder 6
Runtimes folder and start the rt_msi31redist_x86.exe.
=========================
I still get the attached error.
I made sure to remove the old redistributable first, and did a search for
any msi31*.* under the lindersoft folders, so - maybe I'm missing something
here?

Please make sure you have the common definition file BEFORE your runtime
include script.

For example:

#include script "Common Definitions.sbi"
....
....
#include script "rt_msi31redist_x86.sbi"

Friedrich,
I must be doing something wrong.
Here is how I'm trying to do this:
1 - made sure I clicked on a line down right after the last file was
installed.
2 - I'm clicking on "Core PreRequisites".
3 - Clicking on "Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1.

But I still get the compile error.

Back to the docs...

Switch to the Script Editor and make sure "Common Definitions.sbi" is listed
before "rt_msi31redist_x86.sbi"

#include script "Common Definitions.sbi"
.....
.....
#include script "rt_msi31redist_x86.sbi"

If this is not the case, move rt_msi31redist_x86.sbi down.

Ok, I now tried to use the "#Include Script" dialog and I put it right after
the files installed, and I still get this dang error.

I have removed all old references. ( I think )

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Does it look like this (see attached)?

It does now.
I assumed the "#include script "Common Definitions.sbi" was already in the
default script, but it was not.

So, once I used the "#include script" to "include" <g> this - it worked just
fine.

Thanks for all your help and patience.

Sometimes it pays to slow down a little and look at things more carefully.
This scenario happened to me with the "SQL Server Native Client . msi". It
seems that if I don't have the script open in front of me - it'll put any
new script addons or whatever at the top. This is ok - just got to remember
it.

Now to go and check for this. <g>.

Thanks You again Friedrich - if not for anything else then your "patience"
with a "SB newbie " <vbseg>

It "should" not add new script items at the top. I can't reproduce this in
our versions, so perhaps there was a bug in your build that causes this.
The problem is that your build is more than one year old. There were at
least 600 modifications (fixes and enhancements) from build #2380 to #2734.

You are welcome :)
