Troubleshooting

When a command doesn't work as expected you should follow these steps to ensure that it is a true bug and not a human error:

• Check the source code and see if the syntax is correct
• Add small tests to the used variables to check if the respective values are outputted correctly. (ex. echo,%myVariable%)
• Read the special conditions under which the project has to be run (found the project page)
• Check if there aren't any external interferences as locked files or no disk space on the target folder
• Try whenever possible from a fresh project to avoid any chance of corrupted files or invalid project settings

If none of the above solves your issue then here's the recommended way to proceed:

• Visit the community forums and search for similar reports of the same behavior as you notice
• If a similar case is found you should post a reply on this topic, otherwise start a new topic in the appropriate category
• Writing advice before posting a bug : Include a descriptive title in your message including your log.html file and a test script so that it can be debugged and used by others.
• If the file is large, consider using a service such as MediaFire and post a link to where the log file may be downloaded from.
• Projects also follow their own script rules and these methods can change occasionally, whenever in doubt you should post your questions in each project forum discussion.
• Check the forums - Changes in script language can be followed for each newer WinBuilder as changes to the script code are suggested and debugged by other members.

AntiVirus Issues

It was occasionally reported by a few users that some AntiVirus can interfere while scripts are copying or deleting files. It's advisable to temporarily disable the anti-virus only when debugging the building process to check for possible causes that keep your project from being concluded as expected.

Under normal circumstances there is no need to disable your Antivirus. But, please be aware that antivirus programs will scan any files being copied which may impede performance.
