RE: Custom Install/User Interface problem

odyth
1 New Member
not sure if anyone is having trouble with this, but the same thing happened to me. i have one text box in a custom dialog in my installer that would take the path to a database, if there was a space in the path ie c:\program files\ it would error out. i figured out that if i changed the edit1property for the text box from EDITA1 which is the default to something else like MYBOX it would work fine with no errors.

Original message:
Custom Install/User Interface problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I created an install for my program. During installation,
3 User Interface dialogs display asking for values that
will be stored in the registry. I'm not registering
anything, just storing values for database connections and
where the program can locate necessary files.

I've found that if there's a blank space in any of these
input values (ie. a path name of c:\Program Files\Data\)
that an error displays and the installation aborts. The
error is "Exception occurred while initializing the
installation: System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n: File or
assembly name , or one of its dependencies, was not found."

The custom install doesn't check that this is a valid file
and the same error will appear if a blank space is
included in any of the input values (including connection
info). Also, I haven't been able to debug this since the
error occurs/appears before my install sub executes (I set
the debugger to start on the first line and it never did.)

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a fix
or workaround?

Thanks.

I have added a 'Textboxes (A)' to my UI installer project along with a custom action to pass the value back to a class I've written to override the void Install function. As long as the text is very simple everything is working just fine. I've tested it by writing the string out to a text file to test it. However, the trouble comes in when I use the textbox for what I really intended, a ADO.Net Connection String. The textbox is to...

Hi there, I'm creating an installation project where at a particular point in the installation I want the user to be able to specify a filepath for use in the program. My idea was to create a form that allowed the user to choose the datapath and confirm it then add this to the installation project. I'm having trouble with this however. Does anyone know a simple procedure for doing this? Cat

I've been clicking around Access 2007 Beta 2 and can't see the custom menu bar designer. Is it in the beta? Maybe I'm blind. The question that comes to mind is: Will custom menu bars be the same height as they were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes up a huge portion of the screen? Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...
