Is there any documentation on how to distrobiute a CB 6.1 program? I've just spent over 4 hours trying to get a distribution disk created and still can't do it. The latest problem is that the paths in the DBPATHS.DBF file are invalid. I previously had to figure out that I had to distribute a SECURITY subfolder even though I am not using any security features. Then I had to figure out that I had to distribute the DBPATHS.* files. Now that doesn't work and I have no idea at this late hour how to get it to work without writing my own installation program to fix the files.
I've spent 30 to 40 hours chasing down bugs in 6.1 and am getting frustrated. I understand that this is a volunteer supported project and have been trying to contribute in that spirit, but this is a BETA release!
Now I can't even prepare a distribution disk!
My previous posts on bugs have gone unanswered.
Is anybody actually using this stuff for anything real?
I've got to demo a preliminary version of my app for a client on Monday and I am expecting to spend all day Sunday just getting a distribution disk ready. I am NOT in a good mood. This should NOT have been released as anything more than a BETA!!!!
