InnoSetup 6.x no more recognizes PChar

[ezi...@tin.it]

After a new HD formatting I have updated Innosetup from 5.x to 6.0.3.

In the [Code] section I have a Function:

function FunctionThatReturnsStrings: PChar;

always compiled without problems with old versions. Now I get the error: "Unknown type: PChar"

Why?

[Luís César Zanetti]

Inno seup version 6.x is just UNICODE (Does not have ANSI version) .

In inno setup unicode the type equivalent to PChar is called PAnsiChar.

Add at the beginning of the code section in your script:

#ifdef UNICODE
type
   PChar = PAnsiChar;
#endif
