Issues with Included Scripts when moving Projects
Our IT department recently moved all of the installaware project from one server to another and now none of my prjects will build. I believe this is due to the setup looking for the "included" scripts in the previous location of the project. Is there a way that I can change the sepecified path of these scripts without having to remove and add them from all of my projects?
Re: Issues with Included Scripts when moving Projects
I created a simple script and added it to a test project. It was saved in the same folder as the project file itself. When I edited the mpr file I can see the name of the script file inside it and there's no pathname involved. In other words, the script is in the same place as the mpr file and without a pathname it should find it when the project is loaded. Have you looked in the mpr file to see if there's an inconsistency?

Re: Issues with Included Scripts when moving Projects
I have looked but did not see any problems. I can see that the mpr has the mia for the main project in the right place it is the other scripts that are not right.
The scripts that I am talking about are the runtime scripts such as .NET 3.5

Are you able to update the paths, then?
Relative paths are supported in IA 10.

Re: Issues with Included Scripts when moving Projects
The problem that I am having is where do you find the path for the included scripts? I know where the path for the main .mia is but how am I able to see where the runtime scripts are being called from?
Re: Issues with Included Scripts when moving Projects
Look in the project .mpr file...

No they do not.
Re: Issues with Included Scripts when moving Projects
The only time the added runtime scripts aren't appearing in the .mpr for me is if I haven't saved it, yet. Tested in IA 9R2 SP3 and IA 10.
