He did that with Word? Wow. If you use the Encrypted option, the EXE won't compress nearly as much--that's why your Inno Setup is larger than before. If you include the Debug Info option in your Project properties, then yes, you'll get the line#s in your error reporting. You can use a product out there called ReFox or Armadillo iirc to protect your source code. I've not bothered (yet) to do that, but when the money is there for me to spend, I'd be interested in one of those options. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
