Deploy some Fonts in a Windows Network

[guzzzi]

Hello,

i created a little Script with NSIS to deploy Fonts on some Windows 2000 and XP Clients. It created the Registry Key and copys the Font in the Folder, but if i want to use the Font with Office it doesnt show.

Here the Script:

; The name of the installer
Name "Installing Barcode-Font"

; The file to write
OutFile "barcode39.exe"

; The default installation directory
InstallDir $windir\fonts

;--------------------------------

; Pages

Page directory
Page instfiles

;--------------------------------

; The stuff to install
Section "" ;No components page, name is not important

; Set output path to the installation directory.
SetOutPath $INSTDIR

; Put file there
File BarCode39ori.ttf

; Write the installation path into the registry
WriteRegStr HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" "Bar-Code 39 (TrueType)" "BarCode39ori.ttf"

SectionEnd ; end the section


I just used the "Example1.nsi" file and modified it a little bit. But i cant find the Bug why it doesnt work.
If i install the Font with Windows on the normal way, than it works perfect.
Hope someone can Help me.
Then i want it as a Silent installation so i think to start the .exe with /s (Silent Mode).

Is it possible to give a Non-Admin User for the installation Time Admin Rights and then give him back his old User Rights?

Sorry for all the Questions im totaly new in NSIS

many thanks

best regards
