C7 and C7Net installs

[NewsArchive]

Can one SB install file do "all" for installing to the different clarion
versions?

for CW2 - C7.net ???

The detection has been added, but is there some easy way to regulate the
directory
and files to be installed in the different versions?

I looked at the folders and files added to the root directory for the
detected version,
and didn't see anything for clarion versions, except registering the
template.

The target directory structure changed radically for C7. Am I missing
something simple?
Or does a separate install need to be created for C7. (Lazy Programmer<g>)
Any example files available?

Best regards,
Bo

Hi Bo,

Yes, it can be done. You can have one setup.exe to cover all Clarion
versions (C2 - Clarion.Net).

Friedrich,

And the long answer? <seg>

An easy way?
Any examples or how to's?
Or what am I missing?
All have to be done in the scripts?

Bo,

To be frank, the long answer would be a Consulting project <g>. It
completely depends on your 3rd party product. Do you have to install
different files for different Clarion editions, would you like to follow the
3rd party installation standard, do you need web update, do you have to
modify the .red file, etc., etc.

Without more information it is impossible to give detailed instructions.

Friedrich,

I am trying to create an empty template file with the directory and
detection
structure to use to create all my third party installs for all the versions.
I would be more than willing to share this when done.
I have the example now for everything up to C6, but need to add C7 stuff.
Snuffing it at the directory level would be the best approach if possible.
Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated.
Where to start? Pointer to part of help or example?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Bo

Bo,

You can use "If Clarion..." statement to handle C6/C7 installation now. C7
does not support an AppGen now so it would not make sense to install
templates into C7 yet. What you can do is to install the templates into C6
(to generate) and all files that C7 requires to compile into C7 ("If
Clarion..." gives you the correct path).

Just provide us with more information and we'll try to help...

I have decided to create separate installs for C7 and pre-C7 versions.
It could be done in one, but C7/NET is too much of a moving target for
my taste to bundle it all up in one script.

Not a bad idea IMHO.

Of course this is one of those areas where being able to use include
scripts in SetupBuilder is great. Just build the individual code and
branch as needed.

Absolutely! But since in this case we are dealing with different
folder names, different folder locations, etc. etc. I thought it would
be better to deal with this in separate installs.

My C6 and C7 installs are together in one script. There are two
"branches" that I work with, which varies depending on the target:

C6: Main root is ClarionRoot\3rdParty
C6: LibSrc (for header scans) installed in ClarionRoot\LibSrc

C7: Main root is ClarionRoot\Accessories
C7: Extra stuff (examples, TXAs, TXDs) into the "Shared" directory

I've attached a screenshot of the script, as well as the one where I
determine the value of %C7% (by using the dialog ID in the wizard
loop).

Cool - thanks for sharing.
