FMPRuntime stops working

[bkamlin]

I have a FMP runtime file that is large. It has lots of large graphic (metafile) layouts in it. I am using NSIS installer for windows and the runtime file fails (won't launch) after any sort of compression I do to it. Any ideas?

are you removing anything from the runtime folder? Any .dll's? Extra Languages? Anything like that. If so, try leaving them in there and see what happens.

No. All dll's are there. It seems to be the compression utility this installer uses. Either that or Filemaker runtime is realy touchy with compression. I have 3 options with this NSIS install BZIP2, LZMA, and ZLIB all of which do not work. Even Windows XP zip utility breaks it. However the old ZIP program ZIPMAGIC 2000 from Mijenix does work but it is only a zip program not an installer.

I used "Advanced Installer" on an old solution of mine, it worked fine.
