miabuild.exe does not catch script errors
Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 8:05 am
Consider a blank project with this minimal script:
As expected, when I try to compile the project via Shift+F9, I receive an error message: "Too many END statements".
However, when I build the project from the command line, miabuild.exe does not output any error messages, but says that the "Build completed successfully". It even creates an .exe and .msi in the "Release" folder. When I double-click the .msi, the installation fails, which is not very surprising: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2728."
What's going wrong here? Why doesn't miabuild.exe catch the script error in the first place?
