It is giving following error while creating setup

" the following dependency files are referenced in the project file but cannot be located on your computer.If files are located in different directory you can copy into system or system32 directory."

in check boxes following dependency files it is showing

conf.dep
controldprj.dep
crviewer9.dep
crystl32.dep
mshflxgd.dep
scpbuttons.dep


I have searched in my system none of the above files are found where can i get these and how to fix this problem. help me.

Try once to use inbuild package and deployment wizard of Visual Studio.

If i use inbuilt P & D it is making setup despite it showed warnings that some dlls are in use and cannot copy in system32 folder i ignred those.

after installing setup file when we access reports it is giving

runtime error

Runtime error : 2147206460 (80043ac4)
Invalid directory
details : error

why it is giving this error.

[debasisdas]

If the required files will not be copied how the application willl run.
When you are using P & D wizard close all other running application even VB.
run only the wizard .

Iam running only P & D wizard while making setup. Eventhen it is showing the same warnings

Hi

Try to locate the processes in task manager and then end that process that uses that .dll. I don't think that this it's a better idea. Please be careful enough.

When using inno setup, you should also copy all the references of your application (.dll's, .ocx's, .jpg., etc)

For example, if your file.ocx is located at win32 of windows directory, the destination directory must be also in windows (win32) directory

[Files]
Source: "{win}\win32\file.ocx"; DestDir: "{win}\win32\"

I think you have stored / referring some files in a particular directory which is missing at the time of creating the package. Take special care to ensure the files are added to the proper directory only.

this is the inno script file of my application

Source: "C:\Documen ts and Settings\Admini strator\My Documents\Rama Krishna\ramakri shna\Support\cr viewer9.dll"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion

what does this {app} means? is it the same path of the source?

Hi

{app} means the application path.
DestDir - destination directory

Better check for the path components/references of your crviewer9.dll. The destination path should be the same as the path of your components if you install it to another PC.
