Installer request ;)

[AGU]

I don't know if it's asked to much, nevertheless I'm asking if someone is willing/wants to write me a little installer script for my BBCodeWriter Autohotkey script. Feel free to tell me if it's asked too much.

I already made a little one, but it's very limited. One thing is, it adds entries to startmenu although I uncheck the specified checkbox during install. On the other hand I always wanted an uninstaller for the script but don't know how to do it.
Is it possible to write an uninstall entry to the control panel - software - add/remove?
And last but not least, is it possible to ask the user during install if he/she would like to install it for all users or only for the currently registered user?

This is how far I came with v.2.14 and my limited knowledge:

code:
!define TITLE "AHK BBCodeWriter"

!define VERSION 6.6

I guess you may manage that installer easily with NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator

One thing is, it adds entries to startmenu although I uncheck the specified checkbox during install.

you should change the order of the installer pages.
your code for startmenu entries is in a "section", meaning it will be executed on page instfiles. your checkbox to choose if actually any shortcuts should be created is a page AFTER this.
you should flip the two pages:

code:


!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES  

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $STARTMENU_FOLDER

On the other hand I always wanted an uninstaller for the script but don't know how to do it.

see the user manual

Is it possible to write an uninstall entry to the control panel - software - add/remove?

yes, quite simple - a small topic in the user manual

[quopte]And last but not least, is it possible to ask the user during install if he/she would like to install it for all users or only for the currently registered user?[/quote]
search the forums/wiki.

there are several solutions for this one in here.

small hint: installoptions page.

Thx Guys,

looks like "NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator" is exactly what I was looking for.

Nevertheless thanks to Comm@nder21 for pointing out what is wrong in my script. I will have a look at it.
