NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator - Page 2

Red Wine · 16th September 2006, 10:46

@ cisco80 thanks for your support.
Strange case while there is not even a single hard-coded line of code. I use constants and vars everywhere is needed, ${NSISDIR} for the case you mentioned. Probably this goes outside of my knowledge, last things I should do are to re-read line by line the entire code and set up a dual boot system trying to re-produce the bug.
Thanks

I'll try to help you out by spending a little more time narrowing the problem down to whether it is looking for NSIS or the Script Generator on C:. If only Windows XP would tell me what data access it was trying to do that failed . . .

${NSISDIR} is build time definition not a variable. So if you use ${NSISDIR} e.g. To look the makensis.exe it will only work if NSIS is installed in the same path as it is in the computer where the utility was build on.

You can get the NSIS installation path at run time in the registry.
ReadRegStr $0 HKLM "Software\NSIS" ""

idk if its just me when every time i run it is says "nsis quick setup script generator requires an active nsis installation on youre system please visit nsis's homepage to obtian the current release. I have nsis 2.20 installed and working what am i doing wrong
and just asking will the source ever be realesed?
idea on next realese allow the user to choose the nsis install dir directory

nycjv321, it seems like {_trueparuex^} may have answered your question, also. From his post, it sounds like if you have not installed NSIS in "C:\PROGRAM FILES\NSIS", then it will not work. Could that be your problem?

Red Wine · 18th September 2006, 10:29

I guess we got the solution thanks to {_trueparuex^} support.
It is too obvious so I could not grab it by my self :-)
I'm going to check it right now and post a fixed release later.
Thank you all.

nycjv321 · 18th September 2006, 17:52

yea i installed it to "C:\PROGRAM FILES\NSIS"
i check this out later not at home pc

Red Wine · 18th September 2006, 18:50

OK fixed release uploaded to wiki.
Please download from wiki.

nycjv321 · 19th September 2006, 20:54

yea i check the registry it wasnt there the nsis portable launcher i was using was conflicting with it so i reinstalled nsis to add the reg keys and that fixed the problem

i used it and it is aswome! does all the coding for you woot but
as a feature in a later realese, when u have time, maybe add the option of save the code it uses to compile i notice it saves compile info but it would help it would to save the code for noobies like me to help me learn more about nsis (thats why i wanted to see the sources for "NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator" but seeing this great app i wont bug about it)

@ nycjv321
Thanks for the feedback. There is already an option to save the script and edit later. You could find the saved script into the same folder with the compiled setup.exe.

I'm trying to download the NSIS wizard and WIKI says that there is no file found on the page. Any thoughts as to where this file has been moved to?

SourceForge have migrated their servers and broke our website on the process. It'll be back soon.

Hello.

Can a subfolder be chosen for the Start Menu location?

For example:

Instead of installing to a folder called FIGHT it installs to a sub-folder called FIGHT, within a folder called GAMES.

So, START MENU -> GAMES -> FIGHT

When I try to configure the program to do this, I enter the following text in the "Start Menu Folder Name" box:

GAMES\FIGHT

But the program reports:

"Please specify a valid path for the installer."

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Probably should be $STARTMENU\Games\Fight ?

Nope, that doesn't work either.
