Installing ProPath

Previous topic Next topic  

ProPath has an intelligent Code Signed installer ( built with SetupBuilder of course! ) that does the following:

 

Allows separate installs of ProPath for C6, ProPath for C7, ProPath for C8 and  ProPath for C9

Allows you to select where you want the examples installed

Can modify template default values to save you time

 

 

When you run the SetupProPath.exe file (the actual filename will include a version number), you will see this screen:

Click Next to get started:

 

clip0021

 

Enter the installer password and click Next to continue:

 

clip0023

 

Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next to continue:

 

clip0015

 

Enter your User name, Company name and the Serial Number that you received in your registration E-mail.

 

Then click Next to continue:

 

clip0016

 

By default, the value you entered for the Company name will be filled in for you.  If you did not enter a company name, then you will see this screen:

 

clip0018

 

The installer will take whatever value you enter here and replace the default "Your Company Name" in the PS_ProPath.tpw file.

 

This means that when you populate the template in your application, instead of seeing this:

 

clip0019

 

You will see this:

 

clip0020

 

This is a small thing to be sure, but it will save you time as you do your work since the name in the template is used as a default in several places.

 

Click Next to continue:

Select the version of Clarion where you want to install ProPath.

 

Note: this installer is capable of installing separate copies of ProPath for C6 and for C7.  They will show up as separate entries in the Windows Add/Remove programs control panel applet.  Either copy  can be uninstalled or updated without affecting the other one.

 

Click Next to continue:

 

clip0025

You can change the path where your examples will be installed.  The default path show (C7) will be different if you are installing for C6.  ProPath default example paths are shown here.

 

Click Next to continue:

 

clip0026

If you are installing for the first time, be sure that you register the templates.

 

Note: C6 users should be sure that Clarion 6 is NOT running before they continue.

 

If you do not allow the installer to register the templates, you will have to register the PS_ProPath.tpl file manually.

 

The location of the file (based on Clarion version) is shown here.

 

Click Next to continue:

 

clip0027

 

You can review your choices on this screen and use the Back buttons to make any changes.

 

Click Next to continue:

 

You will see progress screens during the install, then this final screen:
