This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
Good day, I have bing trying to package my project but i have being having errors. I tried install4j and later tried installShield Professional but it can't just deploy/build the installation. It gave me this error:
An error occurred and product installation failed. Look at the log file C:\Program Files\GistMe Communications\Accounting Package\log.txt for details.
When i checked the log.txt file, here is what i saw: (Jun 26, 2005 11:17:13 PM), Install, com.installshield.product.actions.isus.ConfigureUpdateService, err, An error occurred and product installation failed.

Please what is the way out...
There aren't may rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.
In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.
CharSequence exists in jdk1.4 not in jdk1.3, so I think that you should
Check that a) You're running InstallShield with the correct JVM. b) Your JAVA_HOME is set correctly.
Having said all that. I really really dislike Installshield. The java installer it creates IMO is rubbish, not much better than just giving someone a zip file and adding a Main-Class directive to your jar.
Your error message looks like something I saw when I was trying to install an InstallShield packaged product on Linux, and get this... I had to put JDK1.3 to be first on my path with JAVA_HOME set to be JDK1.4 before the thing would install, and it didn't support console mode install properly, which is uber-annoying if you're installing something onto a DL380 200miles away.
None of that is probably anything to do with the product more to do with the installer-creator, but it sure as hell leaves a sour taste in my mouth regarding InstallShield. In fact just thinking about that frustration makes me want to let loose with a stream of vituperative bile.
PS - Bear, I thought General Computing would contain msgs about "what does Post beep "beep beep beeeeeep" mean?". This seems like a perfectly straight forward java question to me perhaps it should live in Ant/Maven/Other build tools.
I have no java certifications. This makes me a bad programmer. Ignore my post.
