SUF5 to SUF7 Help.. First time using 7.. urgent ! :(

[decocondepiction]

I am having some trouble using SUF 7.. as I have been using SUF 5 for the last year, creating setups for software in the decorative concrete and paver industries.

I love SUF7, the interface is a lot easier to work with, and there are more options.

-In SUF5, you had the ability to modify in System Editors tab, the Text Files tab, and I would have it append text to an .INI file attached in the setup.. How do I do this in SUF7? I don't see that anywhere. Is there something I have to code in the Actions tab?

-Is there a way to convert SUF5 projects to 7? It's not so much of a hassle, but it would save a lot of time!

Please help me out here.. I have many projects to complete within the next couple of months and the tech support email thing on IndigoRose never responds to my messages.

Thanks!

Amir,

You will need to use INI file actions to add a line to an INI file. Actions in Setup Factory 7.0 are super powerfull. You can use Actions to make very powerful scripts in different Events

If the support system is not allowing you through then you can email support directly:

Thanks Adam.. however I'm way off on which value to use..

I would want it to grab the INI file, find the text "DefaultLibPath=" and add "%SrcDrv%" after the = sign.. can you give me an example code?

This is way difficult :(

But thank you so much!

Use the INIFile.GetValue action. (Examples.)

Thank you, I will have a look!

At the end of our installs, we play an overview movie on the shutdown. . THe overview movie is stored in a /movies folder that isn't a part of the installation package. The movies are all separate..

Do I use the File.Run? Or how should I do that?

In old suf5, we used

%SrcDrv%\Movies\Overview.exe
for on shutdown.

THank you,
Amir

Yeah, File.Run, or File.Open...either will work, just depends whether you want to wait for it to return, pass command line args, etc.

thanks for the overview info.. i will work on that.

i emailed support@indigorose.com because I tried making a test build and it didn't write anything in the INI. Here's more description of what I wrote in an email:

In the setup, I want it to modify an INI file, search for the word "DefaultLibPath=" and add "%AppFolder%" (where its installed basically.. so if it was installed on C: itll show up as DefaultLibPath= C:\ after the install) to it. I used SECTION= "DefaultLibPath=" VALUE= "%AppFolder" RESULTVARIABLE = result . I built a test and it didn't write anything.. what am I doing wrong?
