Hi
I cant get this prog work...i dont understand what i am doing wrong =(
1.
I start visual patch and i have homemade prog called "lottery v3.0" in directory "c:\lottaaja v3.0\lotto.exe". I improved my prog and wanted to make a patch with visual patch... so i (compiled my new lottery.exe file with (visual basic 6.0))and started to make patch...
i create 2 tabs "old" and "new" (i deleted the v1.0.0.0 tab...) then i started to systematically make Perfect patch... i go to the "old" tab and add the old lottery executable and set the key file (cause it always have to set...) and then i go to the "new" tab and i set the new executable and its key file and then i go to the general design/build settings and i define current release is new. Then i click the key folder tab in (general settings) and i check that all things are okay, there already exists %ScrDir%, %Programfiles%\%Productname% variables, and Then i check the box which reads "do not perform system file search if files not found in above folders..." that it is selected now....
2.
Next thing i do is edit some screen manager tab... so go there screen manager/Abort update/conditions and there is variable called %PreviousVersionFound% = false" i dont know how does this actually work but i have my "own" edited variable there which replaces the old one and it goes "PreviousVersionFound <=3.5" which means that if the prog founds the main executable and its product version string is equal or less than 3.5 it starts update and else it wont update am i right?(if i dont change "variable to... <=3.5 " the prog wont recognize my executable.... ).
3.Last thing i do is to go variables/file search variables and i make there "variable" called %AppName% and then i define the settings...
variable name is %AppName%
and its default value is 3.05.0005
and file to search is lotto.exe,
priority search paths is empty,
look in fixed drives
and store this variable is fullpath or productversionstring
and executabled crc is calculated and it is fully functional
then i start to compile it and start the patch... automated searching utility informs me that it wont find the executable and then the utility asks me to find it manually i reply yes and utility is suddenly in the windows\temp directory i browse myself to the c:\lotto v3.0\ directory and select lotto.exe file and it starts to update but suddenly following error message appears to the screen: "setup cannot create following directory undefined\lotto.exe" i dont understand this error...
what does this mean?? What have i done wrong??
