InnoSetup error: "
I have an InnoSetup script that is failing when I try to compile it...
The error is: "Unknown Identified 'InstExec'" -- on the line below that starts "bres := InstExec".
This is the part of the code failing:
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPage: Integer);
var
ResultCode :Integer;
err:String;
bres:Boolean;
begin
if ((CurPage = wpInfoAfter) and (EditorOpened = False)) then begin
EditorOpened := True;
bres := InstExec( 'notepad.exe' , GetJRELibSecurityDir('')+'
if (ResultCode <> 0) then begin
err := SysErrorMessage(ResultCode
MsgBox(err, mbError, mb_Ok);
end;
end;
end;
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: Integer);
begin
// if CurStep = csFinished then
// FinishedInstall := True;
end;
I'm not sure what's up, isn't that sort of like Inno's equivalent of a syntax error? This script compiled for others so I am not sure how my setup differs.
I'm on InnoSetup Compiler 5.0.8 (ISPP 5.0.6.0)
thank you for any help
best

begin
bRetVal := Exec('cmd.exe', '/C apache -k stop', g_sApachePathBin,
SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ErrorCode);
end;
procedure ApacheServiceStop();

eh, I ended up just downloading InnoSetup 4 and it works great. Thanks for the tip. Those were some easy, fast points ;-) E
Well, they would have been if I ever have used InnoSetup :P

Yeah, I didn't see that note about Exec/InstExec in the changelog when I looked on the site, so regardless, you solved my problem (quickly)... worth it for me. (Yet another example of how pricing is all about the value to the consumer, not what the seller puts into the product-- but I digress!)

Anyhow, I tried changing 'InstExec' to 'Exec' and that didn't fix it-- no surprise since there's a different prototype now.
The error message I get now on that line is "Variable Expected."
I didn't write this script but I gotta get it working :-) Can someone help me make the change to this line of code so it'll go through?
