Problem creating script install

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

I'm creating an exe to check the Maintenance Plan and all I have in an
otherwise empty script is some code to check it. For some reason this
script would not make an exe. It would compile, no errors reported (warning
about no files being included) but no exe. It would create the .htm file,
but not the exe.

I had created it by using "File | Blank Script"

I loaded your "Expiration Date Checking" example script and compiled it and
it compiled fine.

So I created another project by using "File | Empty Project" and then
removed everything so it looked exactly what I had. This project compiled
fine.

What exactly is the difference between those two creation methods? There
seems to be some difference since one compiles, the other one doesn't.

I overwrote my original that didn't compile, but I can try to recreate it
for you if you need it:)

From the technical point of view, there is absolutely no difference between
"File | Blank Script" and "File | Empty Project". It's the same function.
The only difference is that "Blank Script" does not set the default setup
details (dialog wizards, etc.).

I am using "File | Blank Script" at least 50 times per day here, never had
any problem with it.

Could you please send me such a script that does not produce an .exe?

Thanks,
Friedrich

I will try to see if I can reproduce it and then send it to you asap.
Stupid me I overwrote it when I created the one with File | Empty project:(
