Deploy change from2.21 to 2.6
|
|
| Larry Hakel 2006-03-30, 8:24 pm |
| I have just upgraded from dBasePlus 2.21 to 2.6. I'm wondering what I need to do to deploy my application.
I assume I need to:
1. Recompile all forms, programs, reports, etc
2. Change INNO setup (I'm running 4.2.7 - do I need to upgrade this? What changes do I need to make? Is the BDE still 5.01?
3. Runtime files. Do I need to download and install 1899 runtime files?
Thanks for your help.
Larry

No.

I don't know.

If your code don't take advantage of any property, events or method
which is new under PLUS 2.6, they can be run under your old dBASE PLUS
runtime.
That being said, your users soul see less bugs when your old compiled
objects are run under the latest version of the dBASE PLUS runtime.
If ever dbaseIntelligence changes the name of dBASE (I hope they don't),
then you'll have to recompile everything in order to use the new dBASE
runtime they'll have introduced.

There's stuff in my book on deployment (hint).
Also for 2.6 if you want the XP look, make sure you deploy the manifest
file.

Where does the manifest file go?
Do I need to upgrade INNO Setup? I'm running 4.2.7. If so where do I
get it? Is the BDE still 5.01?
Thanks

Manifest goes in the same folder as runtime ... and should be named the
same as the runtime. (i.e., plusrun.exe.manifest )

Inno: Not necessarily. However, you should be able to find it on the web
easily (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php). The BDE hasn't changed as
far as I know ..

Thanks. I sent you an email as I can't get it to work. I now have
4.2.7 working but not 5.1.6.

Thanks. I've checked the BDE and its About screen says 5.01 even
after I installed 2.6 this week. The About dBasePlus screen says
the BDE is 5.2.0.2. Which is correct?

The About screen for the BDE Administrator program shows the version of said
program. The BDE Administrator is just a program used to modify the settings of
the Borland Database Engine ( The BDE ).
You should open the BDE Administrator and from the menu select 'Object' ->
'Version Information' and look at the version number of IDAPI32.DLL.

Well, check the BDE version number as explained above and you should be able to
figure out which one is correct :-)

Thanks. All say 5.2.0.2

Common misconception. The BDE Administrator version is 5.01, but the BDE
was updated to 5.2.0.2 ...
