FAQ for Sysbook Errors
The Problem
> I am using CBT edition with an amendment to my
> setup manager to correct the bug that did not
> allow it to add the cbt30r.sbk to the other
> compressed files as per technical support at Asymetrix.
> When the files were compressed it did not give me the
> error so I would guess the setupmanager worked.
>
> I installed it on a friends (non-toolbook) machine
> the installation went well...my demo came up fine.
>
> The first screen which transitions to the next screen
> with an idle handler worked great. However, none of
> the navigation buttons which were set up using the
> CBT Hyperlinks worked. (They did work and still work
> on the version I run in toolbook on my machine.)
>
> On scanning my CBT edition documentation I note it
> says "be sure to write an enterApplication handler in
> your application to confirm that the sysem book CBT30R.sbk
> appears in the list contained in the sysbooks property, if
> it is not, CBT edition extensions will not function properly."
>
> I suspect this might be the problem as I did not put in an
> enter application handler.
>
> I have no programming experience, I am relativly new to
> Toolbook and up to now have not worked with sysbooks before
> could someone please offer me a non-complicated explanation
> of sysbooks and show me a script that I could use to get
> the CBT sysbook to run with my demo so the navigation buttons work.
>
> Also, I would like to launch Video For Windows as an executible
> file upon installation of the demo. How would I go about doing
> that?
>
> Thank you in advance. I appreciate your help.

try something like this in the enterapplication or enterbook script:
if "ctb30r.sbk" is not in sysBooks
push sysToolBookDirectory & "ctb30r.sbk" onto sysBooks
end
-- and if your app uses path animation
if "ctb30t.sbk" is not in sysBooks and \
"mtb30.sbk" is not in sysBooks
push sysToolBookDirectory & "mtb30anm.sbk" onto sysBooks
end
