AndyManchesta Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 No, If you using Javascript to generate the random numbers then you will always get the warning when its run on your machine and not through the internet, Once you choose to allow the content then it shouldnt ask again when the page is refreshed if you want to allow it unless the new page contains different javascript which it wouldnt if your just opening the same page with a different number, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyManchesta Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 You dont want to make your files hidden and read only as it could cause problems if they want to uninstall it, it can be done using batch and adding attribute commands but I dont think its a good idea, What part of it would be or could be changed by anyone and why would they want to change it as its just a number thats showing ?

TheFiresInTheSky Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 the numbers are just photos. i might take it up to a skating rink and put it on the computer there in the DJ booth and they like to screw with stuff. also, it could be easily rigged if i dont do this.

AndyManchesta Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Maybe Im missing something, Your program displays a number between 1 and 120 so why would someone want to rig it to show a different number, Are you giving away presents for anyone who gets the number correct I dont think making any of the files read only or hidden is a good idea and if its something that could be rigged then your best not using the program at all and just hosting it on a web site so that they cannot modify the source code.

Eldmannen Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 You should absolutely not use a path such as; * C:\documents and settings\USERNAME HERE\programs\startup * C:\documents and settings\All Users\ Because that path can look very different depending on system, version of Windows and language of Windows. You should always use the environment variables. Such as %UserProfile%. And install it to %ProgramFiles%. And you should definitly use NSIS. There is a reason why NASA, Google, etc use it. It rocks.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 if this is just going on XP computers, its fine right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 No you should always use environment variables to refer to paths. Because the folder "Documents and Settings" is only named that on english versions of Windows. It is named something else on Windows sold in other countries, such as "Documenten en Montages" or "Documentos y ajustes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well, if you offer the package for public download then other people can download it and put it on their systems which might be of different languages. But I dont know if you planned to distribute the package. Eitherway, you should still do things "The Right Way". And use good practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
