Hey,
So this is what I want to do: I work for a video game company, and I am working on the installer for the game. What they want is a graphically attracting version of the installer made with installShield (you know, weapons, fires, movies, etc.). I own installShield professional 5.5, and it allows you to display movies in the background, but I want to actually customize my own dialog boxes, while still keeping the functionality of installShield. I tried to use the tutorial about adding DLL's to installShield, but I do not know how to make an MSI file in installShield, or much less what an MSI file is.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Tali

MSI stands for MicroSoft Installer. An .msi file is one of the files that go with the new Windows Installer. Check out msdn.microsoft.com for more info.

It should be possible using GDI+ if you can use it. Attach the HBITMAP to an Bitmap object and call Save method. There is a way to select the format in which you want to save.

Sadly I am using VC++ 6 and I don't have the new PSDK either
Sucks to be me

i know where you can get a nice, cheap, commercial solution

Cheap oil. It's worth it!

AFAIK, Nish's bosses aren't going to buy any non-Java tools...

Yeah, but somewhere else he said that his company focuses on Java/Linux and they don't want to buy him Win32-related stuff.

Hi!
In my project (MFC) I use access to the Access database and in many functions i save data from one table in another table with format "INSERT INTO ... SELECT * FROM ..."
strSql.Format("INSERT INTO [TempTblSerialStepError] ([SerialId],[StepNum],[ErrorCode],[Details],[State],[Date])
SELECT * FROM [TblSerialStepError]
WHERE [TblSerialStepError].[SerialId]='%s'
AND [TblSerialStepError].[StepNum]=%s",strSerialId,strStepNum);
On my computer (I have Windows2000) all is working wonderfull but on computers that have Windows97 it does not work.Is it because Windows or because somthing another?
Help,me,please!!!

What actual error do you get?
You could try installing the latest MDAC onto the Win9x machine to see if it resolves the problem.

I use CODBCAccess by Alexander Wiseman and I only receieve this error:
Error when trying to execute Sql.
What is it MDAC and where can i find it?
|

MDAC is the Microsoft Data Access Components which includes latest versions of DAO and ADO etc.
You should be able to download it from http://www.microsoft.com/data/

I am currently using GDIplus under XP. I use the last release of GDIPlus given by SDK (26/09/2001). I use GDIplus in a DLL called by an application. The DLL GdiPlus.dll is provided by XP since the debugger tells me :
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.GdiPlus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.0.0.0_x-ww_8d353f13\GdiPlus.dll'.
On exit of my code when calling
Gdiplus::GdiplusShutdown(m_gdiplusToken) in MyAppDll::ExitInstance
I have a crash.
Problem of version ? Everything was ok with Win 98.

Are you sure that m_gdiplusToken was not stepped on someplace (i.e. it contains the same value as when you initialized GDI+)?
Also, check to see of you have any unreleased GDI+ resources, like Brush or Image objects.
Peace!

I'm new in Visual C++...Really need help about how to make both parent & child windows appear automatically after running the program?

Go in the dialog editor, and in the properties of your windows, check "Visible".
In your OnInitDialog, put a ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
~RaGE();
|
|
|
|
|
I'm sorry...I didn't get that! Would you please explain more details...Or you can write down some source code about it....
For your information I have no idea about Visual C++...Bad huh!
Anyway, thanks a lot Rage!
EENA

Well, OK, could you give me some precision then about your application (Is it MFC or "simply" Win32 ? Dialog ? MDI ? SDI ?) (or post a code sample ...)
~RaGE();
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Rage...Actually I'm using MFC application..I'll post to you the code sample including the interface later in your e-mail...
