The RASENTRY struct is defined differently for XP than for 2K.
Now this is an issue for me.
The XP version has a member called dwfOptions2 which the 2K version does not!
Now if I define WINVER as 0x501 I get the XP struct, but now the program won't work on 2K. If I don't do this, it will work on 2K and XP. Except that on XP I require to set an option for dwfOptions2. Now I don't see a way out other than 2 separate exes Frown | :-(

Any ideas anyone?

Have to .cpps that handle the RasSetEntryProperties for 2k and XP respectively (providing functions say SetEntryProps2k and SetEntryPropsXP), and set the WINVER macro appropriately in each file. At run-time you can select one or another version depending on the OS the program is running on.

Another approach: copy the struct definition, split it into w2k and xp (kind of RASENTRY_XP) and just do a if(os == XP) whatever((RASENTRY*)&my_rasentry_xp); - spares you different executables.

int x=1, y=5; 
x^=y^=x^=y; // whats the content of x and y now?

Hello, the codegurus around the world. Smile | :)

Another approahces:

RASENTRY rasEntry = 
{
.....
#if (WINVER >= 0x401)
// Extra NT 4 members
......
#endif

#if (WINVER >= 0x500)
// Extra Windows 2000
.......
#endif

#if (WINVER >= 0x501)
// Extra Windows XP
........
#endif
}

Have a fun. Rose | [Rose]

RasSetEntryProperties returns ERROR_INVALID_SIZE on 2K

RasSetEntryProperties returns ERROR_INVALID_SIZE on 2K but works fine on XP Frown | :-(

Code follows :-

RASENTRY re={0};<br />
re.dwSize = sizeof(RASENTRY);<br />
re.dwfOptions = RASEO_ModemLights|RASEO_ShowDialingProgress|RASEO_PreviewUserPw;<br />
re.dwfNetProtocols = RASNP_Ip;<br />
strcpy(re.szLocalPhoneNumber,"0,35");<br />
strcpy(re.szDeviceName,s);<br />
strcpy(re.szDeviceType,"modem");<br />
re.dwFramingProtocol = RASFP_Ppp;<br />
DWORD err = RasSetEntryProperties(NULL,"HelloWorld",&re,sizeof re,NULL,0);

Re: Lucky to find the reason!

I had done this on top of the header file [manually] :-

#undef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x501

Man!!!

Inno Setup opinion?

Ravi Bhavnani2-Sep-02 15:52

I'm about to release a new version of one of my products and find that the time has come to migrate from my existing installer (EDI Install Wizard, an ancient relic from the past) to something more modern (and free). After narrowing my choices to NullSoft[^] and Inno Setup[^], I've decided to try the latter.

I'd appreciate any good/bad feedback regarding Inno Setup, particularly comments about the accomapanying script generator helper programs such as IS Tool[^] and ScriptMaker[^].

Many thanks!

i use InnoSetup for everything i put out. it handles everything i've thrown at it nicely. for my needs, and for the price, it's nearly perfect. i do all my scripts by hand (my largest script is only like 30 lines, so it's a trivial task).

i've only found one or two oddball things that it doesn't do that i wish it did: like, i haven't found a way to make it install to a specific folder based on the contents of a registry key, for plug-ins (read the key to find the location of the host app, then install to that folder). but that's not really a big deal.

I use the installed that comes with VS.NET. It integrates very nicely with my source code.

With just one step, I could rebuild all my projects and have them packaged in an MSI file (wizards and all).

Quite a time saver.
