Hi...

How can i set in nsis to install some files but only install it with a language specified???

[Animaether]

PHP Code:

!include "logiclib.nsh"

[...]

Section
    ${Select} $LANGUAGE
    ${Case} ${LANG_ENGLISH}
        MessageBox MB_OK "English files"
    ${Case} ${LANG_GERMAN}
        MessageBox MB_OK "German files"

thanks Animaether... I will try it

OK, work fine... but i get an error about overwriting some files. because i use this comand to decompress a 7z files and overwrites it:

PHP Code:

nsExec::ExecToLog /OEM '"$PLUGINSDIR\7za.exe" x "$EXEDIR\English.7z" -aoa"$INSTDIR"' 


and maybe the switch -aoa doesn't recognizes with "$INSTDIR" or how can i set to overwrite some files in installdir with 7z???

thx...

try putting the last set of quotes around the switch and path, not just the path:

code:
nsExec::ExecToLog /OEM '"$PLUGINSDIR\7za.exe" x "$EXEDIR\English.7z" "-aoa$INSTDIR"'

PHP Code:

That one's not so easy, unfortunately. NSIS is not engineered to support that easily out-of-the-box at this time.

See this wiki page for more information and a solution.. but it's not pretty:

You can also try bumping this thread to see if the author could contribute their patch to the official NSIS distribution:
