Thread: Questions about Setup Factory 7.0

I Downloaded the Eval version to try it before I buy but some thing is strange about it....

I have an AMS5 app that I build into a folder
I then used SUF guide to create a simple installer for it but I encoutered severel problems...

1. when building It keapt returning a build failure about not being abel to compress some jpg and png files (the png file is on of AMS's standerd lines)
2. When I finally got it to build the installer it made a new group to my windows startmenu, fine, but the programm is no longer called "ISA" but "AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0 Professional Editon Runtime", where did that come from?
3. nice feature in the guide that you can sellect multiple languages but there are some spelling errors in the Danish (a minor foult that even a dane could make. It's the case of two words spelled allmost the same but with totally diffent meanings). But as I said, a minor error that most people would never notice onless they really read what it sais out of context.

Is it me doing any thing wrong on the first 2 or what?

cheers,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

You are my "neighbour next door". It is a disgrace that nobody has answered your questions. (Normaly the IR team is quick with their replies to (potential) new customers. I really appreciate that the IR staff participate in this USER FORUM).

As a user I shall try to give you a reply:

1. Build failure with jpg and png files: I have never experienced any trouble with any kind of file. You just added the files to your file list? The build log does not display ane more detailed message? The files are not in use by any other program?

2. The help doc has the answer:
Description:
The description that will accompany the shortcut(s). By default, if the file does not contain any version resources, the filename will be used as the description. If the file does contain version resources, its description will be extracted from that information. You may want to change this to something more meaningful and descriptive.

Go to the shortcut tab and enter the shortcut description you want.

3. The Danish translation: No comment; I have enough "trouble" with my own language; but I know the Danish translator is a serious person. You can easily make your own modifications in Danish xml.

Jonas DK,

I apologize for the late reply as well.

1) There are no reported cases of Setup Factory 7.0 having troubles compressing jpg and png files. You could turn off the compression from the "Advanced" Tab of those files properties.

2) csd214 hit the nail on the head with this one.

3) If you would like to point out the errors to me via email then I will make sure that the language file is updated.

Thank you for your time.
