B4J Question .exe Creation Success, but App Doesn't run

[Subatanx86]

Using B4J Version 9.00 Build Standalone Package I was able to create the package, and even used the step below from a previous post. here Everything creates and installs fine, but when I find the application on my PC it doesn't run. I can confirm that the application created from the build folder runs. run_debug also works and shows no error. Install is on a Windows 10 computer. Anyone have any ideas?

Steps to automatically build the setup file with Inno Script:

• Move the generated InstallerScript-template.iss file to the project folder and rename it to InstallerScript.iss.
• Edit the script, change the app name, publisher and other fields as needed. You also need to update two paths as explained in post #3.
• Put the icon file in the project folder.
• Add this attributes:
  B4X:
  
  
• #PackagerProperty: IconFile = ..\turtle.ico
  #CustomBuildAction: After Packager, C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 6\Compil32.exe, /cc ../InstallerScript.iss

Guess: you are trying to write to File.DirApp and it fails because it is a restricted folder.
You should use XUI.DefaultFolder instead.

Thanks Erel I believe you are correct. I did have File.DirApp. I made the switch, but now I'm trying to find out why I have an error

Unknown type: b4xmainpage<br />Are you missing a library reference?

 

[Erel]

You should add a reference to XUI, not B4XPages. B4XPages projects have a specific structure.

So the install works now, but I'm still doing something wrong. The csv file never seems to get created, or if it is created doesn't go to the correct directory. There are no errors or messages in the debug.

In the AppStart sub I did

xui.SetDataFolder("CACtrax")

and for the CSV save where I want the file to go to the same CACtrax folder I have

Sub btnExport_Click
    Dim su As StringUtils
    Dim List1 As List
    Dim csvname As String = "Attendance.csv"
    
    List1=DBUtils.ExecuteMemoryTable(sql1, "SELECT * FROM PEOPLE",Null,0)
    su.SaveCSV(xui.DefaultFolder, csvname, ",",List1)
End Sub

 

[Erel]

Log(XUI.DefaultFolder)

Thanks, but I'm not sure where that is supposed to go. I've put in in multiple places, but the CSV file still isn't showing.

 

[Erel]

Add the code I posted. It will show the folder.

 

[Subatanx86]

The folder shows but the csv file doesn't even after adding.

Log(xui.DefaultFolder)

Upload a small project which shows the issue.

It turns out I just wasn't thinking clearly. The CSV file is being created. It is going to an AppData/Roaming directory. I was looking for the file in the install directory.
