Hi Don,
There was, indeed, a bug related to running an executable package from a
folder with embedded spaces in the path. I think the scripts were still
installed correctly, but the wrong folder was being used for the Keep
Copy, Backup Before Replace, and View Zip Folder options. Hopefully,
this is now fixed in an update I posted today.
The View option is meant for the folder containing the zip archive,
rather than for the archive itself. In that way, you can verify that
the backup and keep-copy archives are there. If files are sorted so the
most recent ones appear first, they should be at the top of the list.
It occurs to me that there is a manual way you could indicate authorship
of the scripts within an executable package you create. Open the file
C:\jsx\scripts.iss
and edit settings related to the product or publisher names. This would
be in effect for any script packages you create. Note, however, that
this file is replaced each time you install JSX.
Thanks for working so constructively with me to eliminate remaining kinks
in JSX.
Jamal
