Custom
Application Setup III
To test our set up script, we first need to
compile the script. Re-open "AfraLisp.iss" and choose "File"
"Compile" from the pull down menu. Bells will ring and buzzes
will buzz and at the end of it your script will be compiled. Have a look at
your application folder structure now :
You should have a new sub-folder entitled "Output".
Within this folder you will find a file named "Setup.exe".
Double click on it. This should appear :
After you've had a wee read click on "Next".
Ha, ha!! Our License!! Select "I
accept the agreement" and then "Next".
And next our "Warning". Select "Next"
again.
Just default through this unless you
really want to change the Destination Directory.
Select "Next" again. Phew!!
Happy with everything? Select "Install".
A progress bar will appear as your files
are installed. Once complete, this will appear :
Just some instructions to let the user
know what has happened in regards to the AutoCAD configuration. Nothing has
happened though, because we disabled the "Acad Install"
section of the script. Click on the "Next" button.
Select the "Finish"
button to complete the installation.
Let's pop along to "Program
Files" and see what we can find.
Hey, all our Folders, sub-folders and
files have been installed.
This is magic!!!
Now look
under "Start" "Programs" for "AfraLisp
2004 Custom Menu".
Select "Uninstall
AfraLisp 2004 Custom Menu".
Before we go any further, we need to tweek
our setup script just a wee bit more to integrate with "Acad
Install".
Under the [Run] section of AfraLisp.iss
you will find this line :
;[Run]
;the program to run
;Filename: "{app}\AcadInst.exe"; Description: "Launch AfraLisp
2004 Custom Menu"; Flags: nowait postinstall skipifsilent
Remove the semi-colons from the beginning
of the lines and make these changes :
Filename: "{app}\AcadInst.exe";
Description: "Configure AutoCAD";
Parameters: {app}; Flags: waituntilidle
Now add this
to the bottom of the script :
[UninstallRun]
;run this program on uninstall
Filename: "{app}\AcadInst.exe"; Parameters: -U
Your script
file should now look like this.
Okay, that's
our script file complete. Now save it.
We now need to configure "Acad
Install" to integrate with our setup application.
This we will do on the next page.
