Automate process

[f1nn]

Hi
I am compiling and running my script with HM NIS EDIT. the script runs fine, What I would like to do is automate the process to have the script compile and run is this possabile. I have been unable to find any command line switches that would do this in the NSIS documentation or the NH NIS EDIT forum. Any help appreciapted.

Many Thanks

Browse to your installation directory and take a look at makensis.exe, it's the command-line compiler.

Make this in a "doitnow.bat" script and click it everytime you want a build...
--------------------------

@ECHO Busy compiling installation script, please wait...
@ECHO OFF
CD "C:\whereveryourstuffis"
C:
"C:\Progra~1\NSIS\makensis.exe" /NOCD "C:\whereveryourstuffis\myscript.nsi"
@ECHO Installscript compiling done.
@ECHO OFF
@PAUSE
--------------------------

Do not forget that the NSIS manual is your helpful friend...

Thanks Onrad I was tried using makensis.exe but found it didnt work when I looked in the reg it the compiiler was refered to as makensisw.exe and i tried that and it worked.
Is there any way that I can know when the compiler has finished and automaticaly make it run with out having to press the "test installer button" in makensisW(GUI COMPILER) or without having to press "shift f9"(compile and run in HM NIS EDIT)

Many thanks again for your reply I apprecipate it.

code:


@ECHO Busy compiling installation script, please wait...

@ECHO OFF

CD "C:\whereveryourstuffis"

C:

"C:\Progra~1\NSIS\makensis.exe" /NOCD "C:\whereveryourstuffis\myscript.nsi"

@ECHO Installscript compiling done, now running installer.

myscript.exe

@ECHO OFF

@PAUSE

Hi Iceman_K

many thanks again
