suf6: Default Install type

[jassing]

I have 3 install types
"Tracker"
"Full Install"
"Custom"

Default install is "Tracker"
however, it's not highlighted when the setup is run.

Re: suf6: Default Install type

Hi,

So you are setting the Default Installation type on the Custom Tab of the "Select Install Type Screen"? I just tested this out on my side and everything worked properly.

Perhaps you could generate a Project Report (Project -> Generate Report) and post the contents of the Select Install Screen's "Custom Properties" section.

Mine is as follows:

*****************
Install type:
Name: Typical
Description: Installs the most common program features. Recommended for most users.
Packages set to TRUE by install type:
Install type:
Name: Tracker
Description: All program features will be installed. (Requires the most disk space.)
Packages set to TRUE by install type:
Install type:
Name: Minimum
Description: Only required features will be installed.
Packages set to TRUE by install type:
Store selected install type name in variable: %InstallType%
Store selected install type index in variable: %InstallTypeIndex%
Default install type: Tracker
*****************

Re: suf6: Default Install type

Hi,

So you are saying that using this code the "Tracker" install type is not selected by default when you run your installation?

Everything appears to be correct; perhaps you could send me your SF6 file so that I can test this out on my system.

You can e-mail me at: [email protected]

Also, which install type is highlighted?

Re: suf6: Default Install type

Hi,

I believe that this was caused be an unintentional trailing space in your Install Type name. Instead of having "Tracker" you had "Tracker "

I hope everything works out now.

Re: suf6: Default Install type

Good detective work!

However, in this case, suf should ignore white spaces..... imho.
