TailBite 1.0 Preview, soon in PureProject and PureArea

El_Choni · Post by **El_Choni** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 3:08 pm

This is funny: I've realised I can't give you a prior version. The reason is that I build over the previous build and I don't keep a copy.

Anyway, I'd like to try to solve your problem. Can you send me some code which doesn't work in your machine?

Regards,

Thanks, but I get an error while installing:

Unable to create temporary file. Installation failed.
The system can't find the specific path.

and

Unable to open temporary installation file. Installation failed.
The system can't find the specific path.

Well, I don't know why I get this errors. I can't install any Tailbite versions anymore.

[EDIT]
Now all is ReadOnly 8O Why?

@DarkDragon:

Could you run this code in your machine and tell me what it shows in the debug window?

Code: Select all

*StringBuffer = AllocateMemory(#MAX_PATH)
If GetTempPath_(#MAX_PATH, *StringBuffer)=#FALSE
  GetModuleFileName_(0, *StringBuffer, #MAX_PATH)
  PokeS(*StringBuffer, GetPathPart(PeekS(*StringBuffer)))
  Debug "No system temporary folder."
EndIf
TempFolder$ = PeekS(*StringBuffer)
FreeMemory(*StringBuffer)
Debug TempFolder$

TIA, regards,

lol.. after so many failed attempts with TB... it locks down your system to
any further usage... lol

Then that's the problem. The installer can't create the temporary file if your HD is readonly. About why is it readonly, I don't know. The installer doesn't change file attributes. TailBite changes the attributes of a single file (APILIST.TXT) to hidden, but not readonly.

You won't be able to install TailBite if your HD is readonly (AFAIK, you won't be able to do nothing at all).

And when you are back where you started... let El help you. Because my
libraries don't work either. They work if I make them into dll's.. but not
as libs.. So I know it's something simple.

We're trying to find the problem on IRC. Could you send me some source for testing? The problem right now is that I can't reproduce these bugs.

NoahPhense · Post by **NoahPhense** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 4:43 pm

El .. you should use my mutex lib in your tailbite.. I noticed I could launch
the mgr twice.. it waits until the first one is closed.. then launches another
one.

get it here:

Mutex Lib

I've downloaded your lib. But TBManager uses mutexes anyway. But you're right, it's better if the second launching is forgotten instead of delayed.
