Upgrading to InstallShield Express 2.0

Yes, but...
Be sure to download the patch as soon as possible. ISX 2.0 out-of-the-
box is missing the BCB3 smarts that shipped with BCB1. I called
InstallSHield, got the patch password, installed the patch, and
everything works fine.

Thomas,

Are you saying that the ISX 2.0 out of the box of BCB3 requires a
patch to work?

Hok Min

I don't know personally but it would explain a few of the problems I am
having.  I am still awaiting a reply from Installshield ....

Thanks but I cannot find them in my list of groups.  Can you point me to
the name ?

Re:Upgrading to InstallShield Express 2.0


InstallShield Express seems to work reasonably well out of the box, but
there are definitely a couple of things that get missed.  I've gotten
burned on a missing vcldb35.bpl twice now, on the same application
(you'd think that I'd have learned the first time).  

What I'd really like is something that could scan the project file and
see if there were any external dependencies.  Right now I have to
manually add comctl32.dll, and any other necessary externals.  Lots of
opportunity to{*word*222}up here and not distribute all of the necessary
files.

Just wondering, but are you sure Microsoft allows you to distribute
comctrl32.dll?  It is theirs, and if there isn't explicit instructions
allowing you to distribute it, then you can't.  Mind you, I haven't looked
but distributing core Windows DLLs isn't usually done.

The only way it can be distributed is within the self-extracting
40comupd.exe file available from their web site.  They do say that the
self-extracting file can be redistributed either with, or as part of your
own installation but the dll itself cannot (unless within this file).
