If I'd been a bit more awake and not been drinking, I'd have caught 40hz' 5500'th post. Dang!

Congrats!  :Thmbsup:

Could also be a 32 vs 64 bit issue.

Shouldn't be, Curt's trying to install on a 32bit system ...

I missed that from the original message :-[

Perhaps try changing the Owner of the install file before running it elevated?
-4wd (January 26, 2012, 05:47 PM)
That's not going to change anything, just running it elevated forcibly should solve it. This issue also exists for installers on Server 2008, that are not UAC/Vista+ aware, or recognized by the OS as being an installer. The last situation is most likely the case here.

Just found another though cookie to scroll-crack: Visual Studio 2010. It's WPF based to start with, and when scrolling it tries to keep the last line as the first line of the next page :(

I did an 'autodetect' for the scrolling method, and the default seemed just fine, setting the number of pages correct (after a test-scroll) does definitely improve the steps of guessing margins and overlap, but I can't get it to do the actual overlap correct: the overlap is not correctly guessed, and manually changing something only corrects the one that you're looking at.
I made a few snippets after making a code screenshot:
Seam of page 1 and 2:
Screenshot - 27-01-2012 , 00_21_05-page1.png
The seam is a bit too wide, the red boxes are copies of the same size, the green box is about the diff
Seam of page 2 and 3
Screenshot - 27-01-2012 , 00_21_05-page2.png
There is some overlap to be resolved, as there is actually only one line saying that, not 2
Seam of page 3 and 4
Screenshot - 27-01-2012 , 00_21_05-page3.png
More of the overlap is resolved, but still no sigar.

If I manually adjust so the third overlap is correct, only about half of the second overlap is covered. The first overlap is quite hard to view/correct.

Tomorrow or Monday (don't know when/if I have enough time to be playing with this) at work I'll try to scroll-capture another WPF application, to see if that is working somewhat better.

In order to make workflow efficient, instead of the fun introductory dialog that was shown in the first scrolling capture implementation -- now you get the red box right away, and after you select an object you get a dialog.

Let me know what you think!
-mouser (January 25, 2012, 10:36 AM)

Mouser, man!, you did a great job! I like it this way :Thmbsup:

The dialog is a bit intimidating, larger fonts on the buttons and all, but it's pretty useful.
Be aware that you can never have enough explanation-text on that dialog, as it's IMHO quite complicated for new users. A big tooltip for each button (and enough tooltip-time to read) or a specific help link or pop-up button next to each could be needed.

Looked it up to be sure, 0x5 is simply Access Denied.

The installer should be run as administrator, sometimes _even_ if UAC is turned off. Could also be a 32 vs 64 bit issue.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to force "Register DLL"?
« Last post by Ath on January 26, 2012, 02:13 PM »
It's quite pre-Windows 7 this DLL, and it probably needs to be RegSvr32'd from an elevated command-prompt, or with UAC turned off (but that requires a reboot if it's currently on).
It's not an OS-used DLL, so it won't need to be done while (re)starting. It might help if AV is turned off during the RegSvr32 action, but usually that's not required.
Worst case it's missing some required file(s).

It's actually a fail in the installer, that should take care of things like that, but if if the installer is really old it couldn't know, ofcourse.

Hm, is it down to that gritty detail :huh: :)

Presenting a dialog before the capture start would be really disrupting to the workflow, as it would be the only SSC capture method that presents a selection dialog before starting the actual capture (fwik). Adding that selection after making the red box selection and starting one of the Capture methods would be less disrupting imho.

Can't you add semi-floating buttons to the red box border (green rectangles in the image) or change the Suggestion/Tip-text labels into buttons (dark-blue rectangles around the labels), beats a Ctrl-Shift-Click any day :-*
Screenshot - 25-01-2012 , 00_30_14.png

Putting the labels a bit more into view on maximized Windows would be required in that case.

Ctrl-Click is apparently caught by IE to select text. Solution (by mouser) is to use the gear button, but that's kinda out of reach with a maximized window

the new beta should show the button even on maximized window now doesn't it?

This beta improvement that made it into Minicap would be "Nice to Have" on SSC too, btw, now that you asked :D

Why not keep the current selection method, and replace the old Scrolling capture with the New And Improved! Scrolling capture? Should leave any previous workflow the same, imho.

« Last post by Ath on January 24, 2012, 01:37 AM »
AVG has been reported of flagging several Inno Setup installs (the uninstaller specifically) as having a virus. As it's only AVG reporting this issue, and now also on dexpot, I'm inclined to suggest it's a false positive. Best would be to report in their support section.

For a second opinion you can alway use a web service scanner like Jotti or VirusTotal

That's working a lot more convenient indeed, thanks for the quick response!

But also there's a few things I have found :)
  • When enabling/disabling the "Exclude /obj/ files" option and "Auto-recount when File Options change" is enabled, a Recount doesn't happen, though it would be quite logical if it did.
  • When resizing the form, the grid columns resize automagically, this is happening from code, right? It'd be nice if my manual width-changes would be used as the relative size.
  • When resizing, the Browse and Recount combo and button move with the right side of the form, but the File filter label/combo stay in their original place. That's a bit funky imho.
  • After a restart, the form is back to it's original size, position and File filter selection. Can these be saved between sessions?

No need to rush, but would be nice to have. :up:
