Thorsten, I didn't realize that you are storing the data automatically upon closing, so this makes the thing a little bit less inconvenient; I still would prefer the normal Save / Save as... logic, but that's not so important.

More important is another issue I found, the pgm does not store a working directory (=pgm dir.) for additional pgm links. So the pgm might not find its environment.

What do you mean? Can you give me an example.
The EasySetup works internal with relative paths.

Code: Select all

ProgDir$ = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())
If ProgDir$ = #PB_Compiler_Home+"Compilers" : ProgDir$ = GetCurrentDirectory() : EndIf

I've found the default directory problem. The default directory for saving should be now the same as by loading.

When you select an additional pgm for the StartMenu shortcuts, generate the setup file and execute it, then the shortcut installed for this additional pgm does not have the working dir. specified; whereas the main pgm it has.

Merci beaucoup, très bien. Mais une autre chose, ein anderer petit Käfer....

When the application gets uninstalled then the uninstaller does not delete any sub directory (below the installation directory) that has been created by the application itsself. Even when I mark the All files check box. But I think it should do so.

That's a security problem (If someone installs a program without program directory in the root by mistake, ......

). Only subfolders will be deleted, which are installed by EasySetup. Add an empty Subfolder to the source directory.

Hi Thorsten. Isn't the program free anymore?

I see there is a registration thingy there now.
I filled out the reg on your site and got a mail saying thanks for registering. But there is no serial in the mail. Do I have to pay for it?

What I know is that it is still for free.
He just wants to know who is using his program I guess.
Btw: I my case the reg. key is not working.

Thorsten, I'm using the latest version and my image does not appear within the setup program.

I've tried with .tga and .bmp's.

Could be me being a banana head again!

**EDIT: ah it's only when I select zip as the archives format!
