Windows 8.1 being detected as 8.0
 
Sorry for posting this the other day and deleting it. My enduser told me about this issue and now I am seeing it happening for him and thought it was something else.

Anyway, I got this if statement that its supposed to do something if it is XP or Windows 8.0 to do one thing and if it is Windows Vista, 7, or 8.1 to do something else.
If I run this code on a Windows 8.1 machine, it will do the XP part of the if instead.

Any ideas as to why?

PHP Code:
${If} ${AtMostWin2003}
${OrIf} ${IsWin8}
${OrIf} ${IsWin2012}
; DoXP
${Else}
; DoVista and above
${EndIf}

These seem relevant for NSIS v2. I am using 3.0b1.

Do you have RequestExecutionLevel in your script? Or add "ManifestSupportedOS Win7 Win8 Win8.1 {8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"

jweinraub 14th November 2014 16:55
No. How do I those options? Like where in the code does it go?

Anders 14th November 2014 17:06
You should always use RequestExecutionLevel in your scripts, just put it near the top along with OutFile etc

jweinraub 14th November 2014 18:09
Something like:
PHP Code:
Name "Foobar Software ${PRODUCT_VERSION}"
RequestExecutionLevel admin
OutFile "setup.exe" 
I think that did the trick, but that sysnative thing you helped me previously with does not work on 8.1 32-bit.

PHP Code:
nsExec::Exec '"$windir\sysnative\netcfg.exe" 
On a side question, I use HM NSIS Edit and for some reason, when it compiles it no longer shows the compiler output no more. It just shows processing...a long delay, then the output of the setup when it is completed.

sysnative only exists when a 32-bit program runs on a 64-bit version of Windows. Use x64.nsh to detect and fall back to $sysdir.

The default makensis verbosity has changed in v3.0.

Thank you. that did the trick. any idea how i can change the verbosity? if i use makensisw from the program files folder it seems to show me more info.

Anders 14th November 2014 19:34
Makensisw starts makensis with /v4. If you cannot change the commandline in your IDE you can use "!verbose 4" in your script.

code:
    GetDLLVersion "$SYSDIR\kernel32.dll" $R0 $R1

    IntCmpU $R0 0x00060001 _win_7

    IntCmpU $R0 0x00060000 _win_vista _win_def

_win_8_1:

    DetailPrint "Windows 8.1"

    Goto _win_done

_win_8:

_win_def

    DetailPrint "Other Windows version."

That's what happens when you let the marketing people mess with the version numbers.

It's Firefox all over again; version numbers don't matter to "normal" people so let's bump our number fast so we catch up with the competition (OSX 10.*, Chrome 3?.*).
