Decompression error... - Decompression error.png (0/1)

[NewsArchive]

Hi folks,

One of my clients has just emailed me this image showing a 'decompression error' and pointing to a
ttf font file as the culprit.
Now, I think this is not an SB problem but probably a 'Vista' access/permissions/whatever problem.
Has anyone had a similar experience to share some advice?
TIA

Luis,

Yes :)

See: http://www.lindersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3651

You only have to set the "Replacement Option" in your ssnb.ttf File
Properties to "Never" and you are done!

Does this help?

The font is being used. Are you installing the font? The usual
solution is don't try to install a font that some customers may
already have.

Thanks Friedrich,

Found it, but here the only selection is Always Install. Do I need to
change something else also.

Don Harvey

Hi Don,

Hmm, Always Install? Do you mean the "default" (Always Install) *feature*?

This just means that it is always installed, regardless of the selected
"feature" (e.g. Online Help, Demo Files, etc.)

Yes, there option to change per attached jpg.

Hi Don,

What you have in this case is the "Create File Association" dialog, not the
"File Installation" Properties dialog ;-)

By default, a project has a (non-removable) single feature called "Always
Install". All files in this feature are automatically installed regardless
of the setup type the user selects. Of course, you can set replacement
conditions on the Conditions tab.

A feature is a building block of the application. For example, the
documentation files of your application can be setup as a separate feature.
The users can then decide whether to install the documentation files at
setup time.

Does this help?

Friedrich,

I notice that although the 'Register as TrueType font' check box is ticked on, Vista is not
registering the fonts during installation! If I register them manually, it works fine.
Any ideas?

Regds,

Luis,

No problem here with fonts on Vista or Windows Server 2008.

Just checked this and it worked fine on Vista 32- and 64-bit Ultimate
Edition and Windows Server 2008 RC0 machines.

The installer calls standard Windows APIs to register fonts.

If you are interested, you can send your font and we'll check it here for
you. I have not opened a ticked because it's not caused by a SetupBuilder
bug.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Hi Friedrich,

Just out of curiousity: Do you test on Vista Home editions? It seems
to me that the different builds are quite different and I wonder if
some issues, such as this, may not show up on the higher end Vistas
(Business/Ultimate) but may show up on the lower end?

Hi Arnór,

According to Microsoft (I checked this some weeks ago with their Development
Dept.), there is no difference in the "core functionality". Font
registration is such a core functionality and so it's identical in all Vista
Editions.

Thanks,
Friedrich

BTW, my lawyer called me and perhaps it better to say "should" be identical
<g> It's Vista, so you never know for sure.

<g> That's just it. I don't trust 100% that they are identical. For
example the basic edition (forget what it's called right now) does not
have UAC. My Home Premium has "limited" UAC in that it does not allow
me to do certain user group settings or user settings. It is simply
not there. Similar to XP Home/Pro. I agree that font registration
should be the same, I was just curious if you kicked SB around on the
"peasant" versions of Vista<g>

Hi Arnór,

And it will continue in Windows Server 2008. There are again some "nice"
UAC modifications <g>.

To be on the safe side, we are setting up a Vista Business and Home machine
right now.

Luis sent his true type font files and we'll test it then here on Business
and Home. I'll post the results later.

I have not really followed this thread Friedrich, but could this in any way
have a bearing on my as yet unresolved issue where Vista Home (or whatever)
SEEMS to act on the registry in another way?

I am aware that you previously said that would NOT be the case but just
wondered if something else was crawling out of the woodwork.

Many thanks

Hi John,

I'll also check if there is a difference in that area between Ultimate and
Business / Home. Microsoft said there is no difference in the core
functionality, but you never know... <g>

Vista Business is set up now.

Friedrich

[NewsArchive]

Hi John,

As expected, there is no difference in that area between a high-end Ultimate
and low-end Vista Editions.

Friedrich

[NewsArchive]

Thanks Friedrich - I will put it down to a client wasting my time then <g>

John

[NewsArchive]

Okay, as expected, there is no difference between a Vista Ultimate and
Business Edition.

See attached screenshot. The four true type fonts (Xerox) installed without
any problem.
