View Full Version : Using a message with "Generate Silent Install" option

I need to flash a message at the end of the install/update, presumably in
the script, to say "Application XX version XX.XX.XX.XX installed (or
updated) successfully"

1) How does one code it?
2) Where does one insert it in the script?

Hello Sim,

the last screen of SB should say something alike, or does it not? At least,
that the install finished successfully. And you have some SB-variables you
could fill with your recent program data. SB can read the File info / EXE info
from the EXE itself, if the "Version Template" of SV is included. You know,
that one thats increment the Buildnumber with each compile. You are still on
Clarion 5.x? Dunno if its available there.

However, maybe a bit more versatile it would be to write your own tiny
VersionInfo.EXE, which gets called from the installer at exit. Your EXE reads
the actual program data, either from the EXE itself (WinEvent, like SB) or you
could read the dara from an INI. Do a MESSAGE('bla bla') then and close it.

I am not at my desk right now, so I invent everything out of my head.

Thanks Wolfgang!

Actually I figured that out and consequentially deleted the message; it's
all there in the script editor.
BTW yes, I have the Version template.
Seems perhaps you were to quick on the draw, but your instant response is
appreciated :-)
