Hi,
I have 2 questions about this. It is probably easy to solve, but I cannot resolve it.
1. I have the “Generate the 32-bit Windows executable” and then
2. Create set-up procedure performed.
The following files / folders are formed:
- INSTALL folder
- Zip INSTALL and
- Application INSTALL
Are the 3 folders / files above that I have to distribute to my customer?
I installed this on a Virtual Machine (Hyper-V) and ran the INSTALL.exe there. Until here, everything is ok.
My questions :
1. When I run the icon placed on the Desktop, I get the message “Application launched for the first time. The required elements will be downloaded (WINDEV framework). When I press OK, the following message appears “Unable to find wd250vm.dll. Check whether DLLs used to operate the executable can be accessed by PATH. I press OK and the process stops.
2. When I modify the original program and then redistribute it, how do I avoid overwriting the fic, ndx and mmo files at my client?
I have already invested a lot of time in this case, but I cannot find a solution to my questions.
Thanks in advance.
regards
Michel |

Hi Michel,
I am using WD24.
You do not have to "Generate..".
I use Project > Generation > Setup procedure. It opens a wizard that guides you through the process (generation of executable included). There are two situations to be careful about:
1. Check "Include the main library in the executable"
2. Check "Include the necessary Framework DLLs in the executable". For some reason PC Soft made it a backward compatibility option. This will take care of your framework download problem
The very wizard let's you include or exclude files from the installer, play with it and you will see how to get your fic files overwritten or not. It's all reconnaissance by fire, the documentation is lousy, imho.
You can always use InnoSetup instead of throwing your computer through the window 
Hope that helps
All the best
