Can anyone make this file a .EXE. I get an error.

[Bobrick]

Can anyone make this file a .exe file? Everytime I try and compile I get an error, i'm new to this stuff so it's a wee bit hard.

Thanks in advance mate.

Error in script "C:\Documents and Settings\Dell\Desktop\GarrysMod10ModInstaller.nsi" on line 143 -- aborting creation process

[JasonFriday13]

If you want to use the files that are in the same directory as the .nsi, just state the filename:

code:
File "license.txt"

[edit]Also, it's better to have absolute paths, because then you can compile from anywhere.[/edit]

[kichik]

Actually, it's usually better to use relative paths. This way you can move around the script without having to worry about not being able to compile it. It's also easier to make copies of it this way. You won't have to change the paths of the new copy.
