ScriptBasic Windows Install

    * download and unzip to a temporary directory.
    * from a console window, change directory to the scriptbasic directory.
    * to install in the directory of your choice, type install.cmd d:\install_path
-----------
This does not do anything on windows xp.

install.cmd d:\install_path

[Support]

install.cmd d:\install_path

I assume your substituting d:\install_path for the directory you want ScriptBasic installed, correct?

yes
install.cmd file not found

[Support]

Your will find install.cmd in your source directory.

Code: [Select]

REM
REM FILE: install.cmd
REM
REM Run this command script to install ScriptBasic after it was compiled
REM from source. The installation directory is T:\ScriptBasic
REM
REM This installation is needed by the setup program pack.cmd to build
REM the compressed binary installation package using the files put into
REM that directory.
REM
REM This script only checks that the two version of the compilers supported
REM and calls the basic program install.sb to do the work.

Then these directions are wrong:

ScriptBasic Windows Install

    * download and unzip to a temporary directory.
    * from a console window, change directory to the scriptbasic directory.
    * to install in the directory of your choice, type install.cmd d:\install_path

ScriptBasic is now ready to use.

Should be:

ScriptBasic Windows Install

    * download and unzip to a temporary directory.
    * from a console window, change directory to the scriptbasic source directory.
    * to install in the directory of your choice, type install.cmd d:\install_path

ScriptBasic is now ready to use.

An other point is that this is done in a dos window, dos box, at the command prompt, not a console. A console is for the linux system.

Windows no longer supports a 16 bit DOS console. The Windows console mode is a 32 bit Windows application for a text mode interface. A console mode interface means the same thing no matter what OS your using. IMO

I updated the install instructions above based on your comments.

So, were you able to get ScriptBasic installed and working?

[btechint]

No, but the installs from here work straight away:

The 2.0 release is over 7 years old and I would be surprised if some of the extension modules like MySQL, Curl and others would work.

Can you be more specific to what didn't work with the 2.1 install?

[Support]

I have changed the install instructions above. Arrmando already created the installed directory structure and removed the bin directory in source. (why install.cmd  didn't work) I didn't notice the change from RC1 to RC2. If you recompile ScriptBasic, a new bin directory will be created in the source directory and the install.cmd file install process can be used once again.
