Hello

I had a serious problem:

I tried to install my application on a Win XP, and each time I tried to choose or write the Path I loose the focus.

This is my code, can you help please:

function DialogShowSdAskDestPath()
NUMBER nValidDir, nValid;
NUMBER nResult, nCount;
STRING szTitle, szMsg, szField1, svResult, svCutDir;
begin

StrSub( svCutDir, svDir, 1, 2 );
if( svCutDir == ":\\" ) then
svDir = "\\\\Server" ^ @PRODUCT_NAME;
endif;
nResult = SdAskDestPath( szTitle, szMsg, svDir, 0 );
// autres
else
StrSub( svCutDir, svDir, 0, 2 );
if( svCutDir == "\\\\" ) then
svDir = "C:\\" ^ @PRODUCT_NAME;
endif;
szTitle = "";
szMsg = "";
nResult = SdAskDestPath( szTitle, szMsg, svDir, 0 );
endif;

// Remove trailing backslashes if any
StrSub( svCutDir, svDir, StrLength(svDir)-1, 1 );
nCount = 0;
while( StrCompare( svCutDir, "\\" ) == 0 && nCount < 20 )
nCount = nCount + 1;
StrRemoveLastSlash( svDir );
StrSub( svCutDir, svDir, StrLength(svDir)-1, 1 );
endwhile;

//if( ExistsDir( svDir ) != 0 || svDir == "\\" ) then
if( svDir == "\\" ) then
// Display message
MessageBox( svDir + @ERROR_PATH, WARNING );
return AGAIN;
endif;

TARGETDIR = svDir;
return nResult;
end;


Help please

First, the usual questions, are you using IS Pro 6.31 and have Windows XP selected in your project properties in order to properly support XP?

Some caveats before I go into what might be wrong.
a. I've never programmed in 6.1, just 6.31 and later
b. I've haven't tried this change to see if it will work, just assuming it might help


OK, now on to the fix. I looked over the code several times before it hit me. You're using 'C' like conditional statements---- if (x ==y) then.

In IS you only need the one = sign. It both assigns variables and checks condition in statements.


Also, I'm not sure what you're AGAIN statement will do. I'm not familar with it, and didn't see anything on it in the HELP section.


Good luck
