Archive: strange dialog - C:\thy documents\thy files\prob


strange dialog - C:\thy documents\thy files\prob
I am building an installer using v2.0b3.
And when I get to the final page and start the install a dialog pops up with the following text inserted...

C:\thy documents\thy files\prob

Has anyone else seen this?


Can you please attach the script?


Here is attached script
I guess you may see something strange that is being called in the script.

Thanks for the help.


Are you sure it's not collabdmint.exe that is poping up this message box?


Im fairly sure its not. I have run collabdmint.exe from the command line and it doesnt pop up the strange dialog.

And the dialog pops up before any files have been installed.


Can you please attach a screen shot of this dialog?


Here is a shot...


Does this message box appear on any other installers you compile?

Does the path specified there exist? Does it have anything to do with the source of the installer files or one of the installer strings? Is it your my documents folder?

Have this message box started showing up immediately after you've upgraded to b3?

Can you please attach the output of the makensis compiler?


The path does not exist.
The string 'thy' does not exist in my source code.
There is no 'my documents folder in XP.
Yes, when I upgraded from 2.0b0 to 2.0b3 the box started appearing.

I am going to re-install version 2.0b0 to make sure that it did not appear then.


That's not your problem. The problem is that you have included the entire StrReplace example and not just the function itself. In that code there is a message box that shows the result of:

Push "C:\my documents\my files\prob"
Push "\m"
Push "\th"
Call "StrReplace"


and guess what's the result of this one :)

BTW, you can set your my documents folder to a folder named C:\thy documents on XP too if you really want... You can never know :)

DOH!

Thankyou very much and apologies for wasting your time.
Im feeling pretty stupid now.
