And remember to go into the settings for Define Wizard Dialog
"CLARIONDETECTION" and turn on the Clarion 8.0 checkbox. <g>

Hi Mike,

And modify any source that checks for clarion 7 being installed and
implement it to check for Clarion 8 also;) I'm having to change my logic a
bit so I now have two variables for IS_CLARION7 which is true for C7 only
and IS_CLARION8 which is true for C8 only and also HAS_NEW_ID which is true
for both C7 and C8.

Also remember to modify the install path for examples for "Clarion8" instead
of "Clarion7" :)

Best regards,

Thanks. I forgot to check that one (although it may be OK as-is; I'll
know soon <g>).

Friedrich,

Our C7 installs worked great with the /S option when running the install,
but now with the option presented (i.e. C7 or C8) I'd like to preset the
version (on the command line) and then use a function to set the
%ClarionDirectory% without presenting the user with an option (in silent
mode).

To achieve this:
1) (This is not crucial, but would be helpful.) I'd like to detect if the
install is running in silent mode. Is there an internal variable or function
I can test for this?
2) What is the best function to use to set the %ClarionDirectory% without
displaying the Clarion Env detect display tab (which is what we've been
using)? (the examples I found use a function to detect the name of the
clarion exe, but I'd need just C:\Clarion8, not
C:\Clarion8\bin\clarion.exe). If this is not an option, I guess I could
write a function to remove the \bin\clarion.exe off the end, but seems
clunky.

Thanks a ton.

Yes, you can use the following to check if the installer is running in
silent mode:

If %_SB_INSTALLERFLAG% Equals "1" on Position "$SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$" Then
Display Message Box "Silent Mode Active" -- "" [non-silent]
End

The new "Handle String Operation (Extract Root Folder)" should extract the
correct root folder for you.

For example:

Set Variable %TEST% to "C:\Clarion8\bin\clarion.exe"
Set Variable %MY_ROOT% to FUNCTION:Extract Root Folder(%TEST%)

MY_ROOT should hold C:\Clarion8 here.

Does this help?
