Archive: Problem with Dev Snapshot


Problem with Dev Snapshot
What's wrong with the development snapshot? I always got an "invalid command: SectionGroup" error while running the batch. Maybe I'm wrong but I replaced SectionGroup and SectionGroupEnd with SubSection and SubSectionEnd, but that's not my job :).

What is it? Is it a new command or something?


SectionGroup replaces SubSection. You get errors because you don't have a newly compiled version of makensis.exe.


I thought this newly compiled version of "makensis.exe" is inside the dev snapshot (nsis.zip). No offense, but what good is this SubSection replacement if the released compiler doesn't know it?

I tried the current dev snapshot (Thu, 13 Jan 2005, 18:59 GMT), it still doesn't work.


In the past, I've uploaded a new makensis.exe with each change. I no longer do it. I plan to have an automated build system some day. But currently, you have to compile it on your own.
