Mutex Lib v1.0

39.7 kb

I could go smaller, by removing the section that asks for a directory and
even smaller by not having an uninstaller.

But since I would never install anything that didn't have an uninstaller, I
wouldn't put anyone else through that same pain.. ;)

- has installer/uninstaller
- cmh help file
- library

Download Here

Check your pb directory after install.

Note the name of the uninstaller executable.. I change that up because
all of them want to have uninstall.exe, and that will cause problems in
the future if you are always overwriting your old uninstall.exe's .. ;)

*The help file is linked.. so you can just type OpenMutex and hit F1
from inside the PB IDE...

@Num3
Any plans on an uninstaller? If not, I'll go an code one up for it.

try now

@geo
It creates a mutex, not allowing your application to launch more than
one instance.

* there are only two files that get installed.. the lib, and the help file

ok its failsafe. But what makes num3's app good, is that it is written in pb :) anyway this can be changed to fit your needs.

but lets not get mad on each other just because of an installation tool. Num3's app is cool, done in pb in short time (as he says). nsis is a long taking product. But its a cool installer (and its free).

but num3's example also comes with pb source etc.

I never said anything there was anything wrong with his tool..
(beavis: huh huhuh he said 'tool')

In fact, I think its the best thing yet, for distributing libs., that is why
I am going to modify it to have an uninstaller.

Cheers!

@Num3
What's the name of the new algo, and is it something that we can create
a lib out of for PureBasic usage?
