Clarion 7.1 detection with c7.2

[NewsArchive]

Hi all,

I have c63, c70, c7.1 and c7.2 installed. All installations (Clarion IDE)
works well. It installed in different folders.

Now I am working on setup file to detect and install our products for c7.2
(using latest version of SB7). So far so good. In the Clarion Environment
Detection Dialog I set c63, c70, c7.1 and c7.2. In runtime setup file
offers me just

c63, c70, and c7.2.

no c7.1... What I am doing wrong?

Gennadi,

Nothing!<g> There are a couple of other threads about this already.

Currently there is no way to discern the path except to the latest
install of 7.#. So, if 7.2 is installed you can't retrieve a path for
7.1 and the detection will only see 7.2.

I think that's correct - it can get confusing!<g>

not sure that this is correct. If my c71 and c72 works well (since it were
installed separately into the different folders) so I assume that SB can
detects it as well.

also when I use Clarion 7 Environment Utility (from Lindersoft), support for
c70 and c71, then it shows correct installation of c70 and c71. May be
Friedrich can create a new one to check also c72?


btw how I can install for c71 if c72 installed too? ;)

Gennadi,

> btw how I can install for c71 if c72 installed too? ;)

In my case it's fairly easy since I provide different installs for
different Clarion versions and builds. The only potential problem is
relying on developers (dangerous, I know<g>) to pick the correct
install to download and run.

The other difference in my installs is that I provide an entry for the
path to the Clarion folder (see attached). I use the "If Clarion" test
which sets an internal SB variable with the path\exe for Clarion. I
remove the filename and preload the path entry on the dialog. So, the
developer is responsible (yeah, dangerous again<g>) if it needs to be
changed.

Yes, it is <g>.

No! I would suggest to read the previous threads. It has NOTHING to do
with SetupBuilder at all! That is how the C72 deployment strategy is
designed. Installing C72 over C70/C71 updates the previous installation --
installing C70/C71 over C72 would downgrade the previous installation.

No! The Clarion 7 Environment Utility is not required any longer for C72.
From the technical point-of-view, the C72 installation in correct. The
Clarion 7 Environment Utility was there to detect (and fix) problems with
previous Clarion 7.0 and Clarion 7.1 installations.

Exactly what Lee said :)

Hi friedrich,

so does it mean that detection for c71 doesn't work correctly if c72
installed?? ;)

From the technical point-of-view, there is no C71 after you upgraded to C72!
