IERenderer install problem

That worked.  Thanks!

Just tried to install the newest IERenderer but installer is looking for pmail on drive F: which is the most recent installation I did but it was to a flash drive.  Is there a way to point IERenderer to my c:\pmail location?  OS is Win7 64bit.

You may extract the contents of the installer and manually update.
There is a brief mention in the IERenderer Version History file.

e.g.
unzip IERenderer.zip
innounp -e -y IERenderer.exe *.dll *en.htm

The installer reads Pegasus Mail's location from the Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pegasus Mail\BaseDir. When running Pegasus Mail at least once it should get updated to the most recent location.

I got the update run on C: by inserting the flash drive the running IERenderer.exe and pointing it to c:\Pmail\Programs.  Just running the C: drive instance of Pegasus Mail did not solve the problem.  New problem though.  I extracted IERenderer.exe and copied the files to my flash drive installation but now receive an error that says:

"Pegasus Mail has encountered an operating system error while attempting to load the extension 'IERenderer'. The error code returned by Windows was: "The specified module could not be found."

 Thoughts?

I have no idea what exactly you did, but the only way to get it right IMO would be to run the (Pegasus Mail) installer for your flash drive, this should create the required files in their proper places with proper path information. Most probably there's an invalid path in either IERenderer.fff or Renderer.pm (both to be found in Pegasus Mail's executable directory).

Found the path in the IERenderer.fff file to be incorrect.  Correcting it solved the problem for now but this install is on a flash drive so the drive letter is subject to change.  How is this handled as far as the path in the .fff file goes?

This would all have been handled properly by the installer: If the renderer library is in its proper place you need to replace the drive letter (and colon) with "~a" (tilde + lower case a, omitting the quotes).

No luck with replacing the "e:" with "~a" in the path.  Path line looked like this: Form DLL = "~a\pmail\programs\IERenderer\IERenderer.dll" 

I will run the installer from a machine at home this evening.  I didn't upgrade via the installer because of the following concerns: 

1. The PC already thinks PMail is on F: even though there is an installation on C:.  I was trying to resolve that issue and didn't want the installer to affect it.

2.  I didn't want an add/remove programs entry for IERenderer that would be pointing to the install on F: and not to the one on C:.  Not sure that would happen but was being safe by trying to update manually.   I update the network install at the office using the extract and copy files method without problems so assumed it would work on the flash drive.

Sorry, my fault: "~a" replaces Pegasus Mail's program path, so you need to set it to "~a\IERenderer\IERenderer.dll".
