Refactor and/or change paths

[JXBURNS]

Using IA Studio v6. Have run a PackageAware capture on a Virtual PC session without problem. Transferred setup files and actual installed files to the host system into new folders so I can manage easily.

However I cannot get Refactor to work to change the paths to the new locations. When I select the option all I get is a blank listbox & new/old path disabled. Clicking the list box gives an Index Out Of Bounds error (well this is expected as the control is enabled with nothing in it - I am a VB programmer for my sins).

I have no idea why this is not working and to be honest never got it to work on any of the projects I tried before purchasing the product. I assumed from the help files that it should highlight the common paths and then allow the user to enter a new path?

Can you advise what I am doing wrong?

As a suggestion (and aside) I would allow the user to highlight the files in the GUI, right mouse click and enable the source path to be altered for the files selected. This is how Setup Factory works and is extremely useful.

Thanks - John

Please try switching to the code view before using the Refactor Paths tool, and select the main setup script. Let me know if that helps...

I had already tried that thinking you had to highlight the lines of script that needed changing. But whatever I try it does nothing.

BTW I am not sure what you mean by 'main setup script'. IN my case I have tried clicking everything both on the left treeview and also in the central script area.

Thanks - John

Hi John,

R&D has confirmed this to be an issue in the current release of InstallAware. Thank you for reporting!

As a workaround, please paste this block on top of your setup script:

Code: Select all

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Compiler Variable End~
~{66C12777-1ED4-40DD-A2FA-C5623F62E31F}~
~Web Media Block~
~{778FD5D8-AEC9-4910-805B-640CCD72C232}~
~~
~http://~
~FALSE~
~Compiler Variable If~
~{65BF12CC-6E8B-452B-947D-4F42A0F188DC}~
~BUILDMODE~
~0~
~NONE~
~FALSE~


That will take care of it for you in the meantime!

Thought I was going mad!

Your workaround works perfectly.

Thanks for quick response.
