Hello,

I use VISTA and there are no problems.

A sample :

Code: Select all Collapse

c_dir	:= GetModuleFilename(GetInstance(),"MYPROG.EXE" + CHR(0), 255)
c_path	:= left ( c_dir, rat( "\", c_dir) -1 )

// ----------  READ FROM INI ----------------

IF !FILE ( c_path + "\Info.ini" )
   SAVE_INI("N")
ENDIF
IF FILE ( c_path + "\Infobar.ini" )
   INI oIni FILE c_path + "\Info.ini" 
      GET nDATE SECTION "Main" ENTRY "DATESET" OF oIni  DEFAULT "5"
      GET nINSERT SECTION "Main" ENTRY "WRITESET"  OF oIni DEFAULT "1"
      GET nORIENT SECTION "Main" ENTRY "ORIENTAT" OF oIni DEFAULT "1"
   ENDINI
ENDIF

// ---------- SAVE TO INI --------------

FUNCTION SAVE_INI(message)
local cIni := c_path + "\Info.ini"

IF WritePProString( "Main", "DATESET", ALLTRIM(STR(e_RADIO1)),  cIni ) = .F.
   MsgAlert("Not possible, to write in  INI-File", "INI-File")
   RETURN( NIL )
ENDIF
IF WritePProString( "Main", "WRITESET", ALLTRIM(STR(e_INSERT)),  cIni ) = .F.
   MsgAlert("Not possible, to write in  INI-File", "INI-File")
   RETURN( NIL )
ENDIF
IF WritePProString( "Main", "ORIENTAT", ALLTRIM(STR(e_ORIENT)),  cIni ) = .F.
   MsgAlert("Not possible, to write in  INI-File", "INI-File")
   RETURN( NIL )
ENDIF

IF FILE(cIni)
   cOpen := "Notepad.exe " + cIni 
   WinExec( "&cOpen" )
ELSE
   MsgAlert( "Couldn't create File : " + cIni + " !!!","ATTENTION") 
ENDIF

RETURN( NIL )

Class INI not working on Vista ?

Please look at this thread:

I found out that this only happens if the INI file has setup or install in the name.

It's not the case.
By the way this problem happens with an app build with :

Xbuilder March 2006 + FWH March 2006

With all other windows ver running very stable for several years.

Any idea ? Are these versions incompatible with Vista ?

Antonio,

as far as I know, Vista doesn't allow in standard settings changes to be made in the program files folder. So if your application is installed to the standard program files folder, you have to put your ini file to the general or specific user-folder windows is providing for such purposes. Another solution might be to install the application just into another folder
