How to get the name of the installer ?

jun · 27th November 2004, 01:15

Hi, I am a newbie here. I am writing a project to dynamically generate a name of the installer when installing the software. But I have problem in writing the uninstall section. How can I get the name of the installer in uninstall section so that I can find the right registry key to remove? Thanks in advance.

Use this function in an installation section to get the installer file name:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...ances=0,11,211

You'd have to store it in the registry using WriteRegStr
Then in your Uninstall section read it from the registry using ReadRegStr
