first of all, I am new to the Install-Shield topic, and am currently working on my first setup ever. So far, I have learned quite a lot and managed to build a stable multi-platform setup. But there are two things that seem very strange to me:
1.) When I want to enter the string "
" in A STring-tbale, Installshield interpretes it as a linefeeed. Of course, as a C++ programmer, I am aware of the fact that
represents a linefeed, so I do as I would in C++, and write "\
", which results in \ linefeed :(
So, big question: how to display
as a string?
2.) Whenever I have the Media-directory open in an explorer window, and I try to compile my project, Installshield says that the directory is locked by another program - that is nonsence, the pure fact that another program has access to a directory does not implicitly mean it is locked, does it?
The esame happens when I use a cmd-shell, and I have changed to the Media-directory. this is annoying, since I want to work using the cmd-box simultaniously.
Besides, the editor is really crappy, but that is another point :-(
Any opinions and hints regarding this topic are welcome.
Thank you alot,
Jackie.
