ISE Can't find table?

Does anyone know if InstallShield is using SQL to do its thing? The reason I ask is ... I'm working on a system that is close to deployable. I was going to do a test deployment tonight, and set up the disks last night. However, I ran into a problem. Since I am converting from 5.x to 7, I am not using an autoincrement field in various tables (I don't want to trash any links I have, and so on). So, I am using an older "AUTOINC" table that I have some code that increments the appropriate values in ... When I try to set up the deploy disks, ISE fails because it "can't find autoinc.DBF". The table is where it should be. I tried changing the case of the table name, I tried all kinds of things. It can't find it ... What I ended up doing is to just not deploy the tables via ISE, and zipped 'em up to a floppy (sneakernet ...). Stefan -- if you're out there, I'd like to hear from you on this one .. thanks!

Ken, Just a thought, did you ensure the table was included in the program files group in ISE?? I've deployed a couple of 7.01's with tables without a problem (not autoinc, but seqvalue....)

I was using a separate "Tables" group, something I have done before and not had any problems with, and the beta testers for the tutorial that have gotten to this stage have gotten it to work (and yes, I did check to see that the table was listed in the tables group). >sigh< Ken --- Ken Mayer [TeamB] Golden Stag Productions http://www.mindspring.com/~hirschv/homepage.htm http://www.mindspring.com/~hirschv/dbase/dbase.htm Visual dBASE and InterBase WebRing - http://www.fghoche.com/dbasering.htm TeamB: http://www.teamb.com

I seem to get the same error periodically. Most of the time it happens when I have already gone through the install shield the first time and am fixing my own mistakes. Since I don;t want my customers to have to copy the table themselves do you recommend any other installation program?

I understand that the full version of InstallShield is more capable as well, but I've not used it. Gary White Some dBase stuff at: http://www.apptools.com/dbase

The message is at the beginning of this thread, if you can back up.
The basic thing is I set up a deploy on a system that told me it
couldn't find a table ("autoinc.dbf") that was in a separate
directory, even though I had carefully selected it. I opened the .IWZ
file and checked, and the path was correct ... the file existed ...
Any suggestions?
Ken

I can't, that is why I asked ;)

Is the file locked? If so, Express may say that it cannot find it. Close
the application that uses it.

What happens when you reboot (WITHOUT the app restarting), and then trying again? Also make sure that the paths you are using are short (instead of these C:\UltraLong Path\Another Long Path\And Yet Another\ paths :). That does take up a lot of space for every file :) Stefan InstallShield Software Corp.
