Installation with MSDE -- need help

kbourg · 17th April 2004, 19:42

Am brand new to NSIS installation package. Just downloaded it today. Have a Powerbuilder 8.x prototype application and using ODBC to communicate with MS desktop engine (sql server 2000).

Can I use NSIS to include the database files, necessary dll's etc. in the installation? If so, how might it be done?

Am working under very short schedule and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you'll find something useful here:

Thanks for your reply. I've already looked through that resource. Nothing there that I can use.

Then you'll have to write the script yourself. Try to find a list of all system files required and use the UpgradeDLL macro (see the users manual) the upgrade the files.
