Table of conversion for Actions...

[DavDes]

Hi,

It's quite hard to convert SUF6 scripts to SUF7.
It's certainly more powerfull, but in the same time more complex (maybe too much, in my opinion).
Where is the simplicity of Conditional display, understandable orders like "Read from registry", "Close program".
After 1 hour i didn't find yet how to close a program

Seriously, i'm not sure that non-programmers can survive to this script engine without a basic table of conversion.

Hi. To close the application use:

Application.Exit();

I know it's tough at first but with power and flexibilty comes a small learning curve... Stick with it, it's very easy once you get some traction. Whenever you have a question pop in here and we'll be happy to help.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, for the reply.

Application.Exit closes the installer, not another program.

Another idea ?

Hi, You can use Window.Close(); to close any window as enumerated by Window.EnumerateProcesses(); . I believe there is an example of this in the example scripts forum...

The next service release of Setup Factory which will be available this week includes a full SUF60-70 action conversion guide in the Help file. It is very thorough and will help you SUF60 users make the transition much more easily.

After a couple of hours, i have now all my old scripts converted to SUF 7.
It's finally very impressive (and funny), but i still wonder me what happended if i was'nt a programmer.
But after all, who build Setups...developpers

In another post Brett wrote "One lesson that we have learned over the years is "don't assume anything.", but I think "your presumption == true", DavDes!

Probably there are more "weekend programmers" in the AMS5 Forum; but HOW CLEVER THEY ARE WITH THE LUA SCRIPTS! (They often declare "I'm not a programmer…")

Yes, SUF7 is more complex, but that's a challenge too! (I'm NOT a professional programmer, and I'm privileged; no boss asking for a bottom line...). One of these days I'm going to publish two SUF7 projects. I'm curious about the customers reaction; if any! I'm still climbing uphill, but it is fun.

This has been fixed in version 7.0.1.0

There is now a full action conversion guide in the Help file.
