Modern UI compile error
 

Yesterday I began working with NSIS 2.19.

To make it easier to create NSI scripts I installed Eclipse + EclipseNSIS plugin (great tools!!!).

Using EclipseNSIS wizard I created my first NSI script for an Access procedure I developed.

After creating I tried to compile it, but got 3 warnings and 1 error, so I was not able to go on.

Attached you find the problematic script.

Here is the script section which contains the line that gives the error (in red):

code:
Section -post SEC0004

    WriteRegStr HKLM "${REGKEY}" Path $INSTDIR

    WriteUninstaller $INSTDIR\Scuolabus_uninstall.exe

    !!insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN Application

    SetOutPath $SMPROGRAMS\$StartMenuGroup

    CreateShortcut "$SMPROGRAMS\$StartMenuGroup\$(^UninstallLink).lnk" $INSTDIR\Scuolabus_uninstall.exe

    !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_END

[...omissis...]

SectionEnd

Here is the error message, including also the 3 warnings (in orange):

!insertmacro: MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN
warning: unknown variable/constant "{MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_Application_VARIABLE}" detected, ignoring (macro:MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN:7)

Error in script "C:\Documents and Settings\gabriele\Documenti\eclipse workspace\Scuolabus Installer\setup.nsi" on line 96 -- aborting creation process
Compilation time: 22.250 sec.

I tried also the same wizard for generating a simpler script which provides a simple DOC deploying, and the problem arises again.

It seems like the error is generated into SYSTEM.NSH, but I don't have any ideas where the problem is.

May you help me?

Thanks in advance.

You forgot to declare the start menu page. The start menu macros can't work without a start menu page.

code:
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $StartMenuGroup

Thanks for your reply, kichik.

I confirm the 3 warnings and the error I got before are closed.

I appreciate very much your help.
