Nsis workbench can't call makensis?

[Falckonetti]

Hi all,

I just installed the Nsis WorkBench and it looks like it is exactly what I was looking for.

However, I can't use it to build and run from it: when I Choose "Build", I only get the usage lines of makensis (meaning that it can at least find nsis), and when I choose "Build and Run", it'll run only when I built the installer separately from within makensis. Otherwise, it complains that it cannot find the outfile. Somehow I get the feaaling that the nsi-file is not passed as a parameter to makensis.

I couldn't find any posts about similar problems, so I guess I'm missing something trivial. Am I?

thanks!

I've never used NSIS workbench, but I'm guesing that it's very outdated.
If it is outdated, then you're stuck. I don't think there are any (or not many) of these step-by-step nsis installer creators that are up-to-date.

You are better of using the core code instead - it's not hard to use at all!

Nsis WorkBench isn't update for the current "needs" of
Nsis.

Open RunNSIS.bat in notepad and remove /CD. You should be able to compile after this change.

Kichik,

that's it! It works like a charm now.

Thanks all for helping me out.
