I figured I would proceed past my PM stumbling block to packaging an application. After all, there's an opportunity to enter the run statement there, too.
But that fails, too, and leaves me with two questions. First, the lab works to create both an app.exe and an app.zip. I double-click on app.exe, and I follow the instructions to install the application -- no complaints. Then I click Start > All Programs > Plot 0.0 > Plot 0.0, and I get a "Missing Shortcut" dialog: "Windows is searching for j.exe. To locate the file yourself, click Browse." I do, and I find myself in c:\Program Files\j602\bin, staring at j.exe. I select it, and I get a clean .ijx session -- no nouns or verbs, and only four locales: names 6 base j jijs z Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Second, when I go through that with my real app, I think I want to bring sqlite.dll into the installer so that users don't have to install it separately. Do I do that by adding it to the .exe zip file later (I presume I can do that; I think I've added to a tar file but not to a zip file)? Do I include it in the APP_ADDONS section I tried APP_WIN=: 0 : 0 ~addons\data\sqlite\lib\sqlite3.dll ) but if I load the installer and then run build'', I get build'' copy: ~bin\profile.ijs copy: ~system\classes\* copy: ~system\extras\* copy: ~system\main\* copy: ~system\packages\* copy: ~tools\* copy: ~bin\j.exe copy: ~bin\j.dll copy: ~user\projects\dir\file1.ijs copy: ~user\projects\dir\file2.sql copy: ~addons\data\sqlite\lib\sqlite3.dll |assertion failure: copy | +./allowedpaths=<s,PATHSEP_j_ Thanks, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
