Finding NSIS really hard to use - Please Help Me
Hello,
I am finding NSIS really hard to use. I have trying to make an install program with runs as follows. It would need to run silently and if there were any errors then it would close.
Set $mainversion to 1.11
If the system directory is c:\windows\system\ set as $installdir (including last \) and set $installdirnum as 1
If the system directory is c:\win95\system\ set as $installdir (including last \) and set $installdirnum as 2
If the system directory is c:\winnt\system\ set as $installdir (including last \) and set $installdirnum as 3
If the system directory is none of the above then exit
If the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\mainversion is > $mainversion Then exit
If there is no such directory or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\mainversion is less than $mainversion then just continue
Copy files3.exe to $installdir if the file is newer
Copy files4.exe to $installdir if the file is newer
Copy files5.exe to $installdir if the file is newer
If the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\currentstate is “zero” Then run code section 1
If the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\currentstate is “one” Then run code section 2
If there is no such registry key as: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\currentstate Then run code section 2
--------------- Code Section 1 ---------------
Copy file1.exe to $installdir as file1_1.exe and overwrite if there is a file with the same name
Copy file2.exe to $installdir as file2_1.exe and overwrite if there is a file with the same name
Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\currentstate to “one”
Set $currentstate to “one”
------------ End Code Section 1 ------------
--------------- Code Section 2 ---------------
Copy file1.exe to $installdir and overwrite if there is a file with the same name
Copy file2.exe to $installdir and overwrite if there is a file with the same name
Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\currentstate to “zero”
Set $currentstate to “zero”
------------ End Code Section 2 ------------
If $installdirnum = 1 AND $currentstate = “zero” Then copy 1.ini
If $installdirnum = 2 AND $currentstate = “zero” Then copy 2.ini
If $installdirnum = 3 AND $currentstate = “zero” Then copy 3.ini
If $installdirnum = 1 AND $currentstate = “one” Then copy 4.ini
If $installdirnum = 2 AND $currentstate = “one” Then copy 5.ini
If $installdirnum = 3 AND $currentstate = “one” Then copy 6.ini
Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mmsoft\mainversion as $mainversion
If $installdirnum = 1 AND $currentstate = “zero” Then run c:\windows\system\file1.exe
If $installdirnum = 2 AND $currentstate = “zero” Then run c:\win95\system\file1.exe
If $installdirnum = 3 AND $currentstate = “zero” Then run c:\winnt\system\file1.exe
If $installdirnum = 1 AND $currentstate = “one” Then run c:\windows\system\file1_1.exe
If $installdirnum = 2 AND $currentstate = “one” Then run c:\win95\system\file1_1.exe
If $installdirnum = 3 AND $currentstate = “one” Then run c:\winnt\system\file1_1.exe
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Benoni
