using the installer creator
-
I never bothered with the tutorial but used the IFW examples, which should be a sub-folder where you have installed the installer framework.
Just saw that there is also everything for the tutorial example. There is also the installscript.qs file.
@koahnig thanks. I found the file and copied it to what I believe is the correct location:
but I'm still getting the same error, which makes me wonder whether I'm running from the correct location?
(Sorry for the lousy pic but the error is the same as posted above.)

@mzimmers said in using the installer creator:

wrong extension. it's .qs, not .js

One follow-up question: the .qs file I grabbed creates a dynamic page, which I don't need and would like to remove from the installer. I can't find a setting for the configuration file that would disable this; should I just remove it from the .qs file?
EDIT:
OK, I lied; I have two more questions:- can you scale the logo image, perhaps with a stylesheet?
- I tried using a shortcut for my executable in the data subdirectory, but it didn't work. Is there a setting somewhere to tell the installer builder to follow a link when creating the installation package? I looked at the command options but didn't see anything.
Thanks...

I just realized that my installer isn't creating a shortcut. I'm trying to use the example on this page as such:
if (systemInfo.productType === "windows") { component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@/APGDupontProvisioner.exe", "@StartMenuDir@/APGDupontProvisioner.lnk"); }
But I get an error when I run binarycreator:
[3231] Warning: QFile::remove: Empty or null file name Caught exception: Exception while loading component script at "packages\com.vendor.product\meta\installscript.qs": ReferenceError: component is not defined
Any idea why I'm getting this error? TargetDir is defined in config.xml, so I don't think that's the problem.
Thanks...

No, I get the same error. Does it matter where within the file this code resides?
Also, is there any more definitive documentation on this facility? "boolean addOperation(string operation, stringlist parameters)" isn't all that thorough.
Thanks.
