Script question

[NewsArchive]

Is there anyway to put the following inside an 'IF' statement?

#set compiler variable [PRG_FLDR] = "<somefoldername>"

I have tried 'If' and '#If' but they seem to be ignored.

TIA,

Bob

Hi Bob,

It should go into the #IF statement if I'm not mistaken as #SET is a
Pre-Compiler directive.

Are you certain what you are evaluating contains what you expect for the
IF statement to work correctly?

As Lee indicates, Bob, you need to understand the difference between
compiler variables (evaluated when your script is compiled) and runtime
variables (evaluated at... er... runtime <g>)

I'd suggest reading through the sections shown in the screen shot from
"Learning SetupBuilder Part I"

Jane and Lee,

I am adding the #If which should be evaluated when the script is
compiled. Now that I know it should work, I will figure out what I am
doing wrong.

Thanks,

Well... I went back to my script and entered stuff exactly as I had
before, I think, and it worked.

Not sure what that means, but whatever.

What I was trying to do, and now have done, is write a script that will
add a Manifest, protect or compress, and CodeSign programs that are not
being included in an Installer.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

All that certainly needs to be done pre-compile. However, you have now
aroused my curiosity. Why are you doing all that if you aren't including
them in your installer. Inquiring minds want to know.

Glad you got it working....

Not true.

I have SetupBuilder add the manifest to the EXE, call Armadillo to protect
the EXE and then CodeSign it all within the script.

Just place those commands just before the [ Install Files ] section of the
script.

The actions are taken during the compile of the script (unless that is what
you were referring to as "pre-compile"<g>.

:-)

Lee,

I have a program that will clone a certain type of flash drive. I
suppose it did not need to be CodeSigned but it can't hurt.

If the cloning was halted, or wouldn't start, because Windows didn't
like my program, that would be bad.

Thanks again.

OK.... Makes sense
