In compiling an SB6 project in SB7 on a new computer and I get the following
errors:

"Reference to constant $WIN_Vista$ has not been defined "

and series of errors related to my sbi file saying reffernces to constants
(i.e. $SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$ and $IDYES$) have not been defined,

Any hints?

Thanks!

What is the date/version of the "common definitions.sbi" include file with
your project?

Lynn,

Make sure you "include" the Common Definitions.sbi before you use the
constants!

And what Jane said. Make sure you are not using a very old "Common
Definitions.sbi" from a previous SB5.x or SB6.0 install.

Aha. Thank you Jane and Friedrich.

In the SB7 Project there is no Common sbi folder when I display the script.
Suggestions welcome and why did it not appear when I recompiled my app?

Thanks a bunch!

Perhaps you have a path to the "Common Definitions.sbi" hard coded and that
path does not exist any longer?

Just check the "#include script..." item and remove the hard coded path.
SetupBuilder will then link the default one.

By default, it looks like this:

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

And if the '#include script "Common Definitions.sbi"' is entirely missing in
your project then you accidentally deleted it :)

Hope this helps.

Would I have deleted a line by mistake? No chance ;-)

However the line was not there so I added it back and all is peachy.

Thanks again for wonderful support!
