Not able to create a valid script using HMNIS Edit Wizard and NSIS
Hi,

I just downloaded NSIS 2.06 and HM NSIS Edit 2.0.3 and whatever I do in the Wizard ("New script from wizard"), the resulting scripts always have errors.

I can't go back and give all the errors, but here's the latest one below.

Probably to be more concise: Is there a combination of versions that is stable together - at least in terms of using the wizard in HM NSIS?

I've downloaded NSIS before and had no problems. These errors that are way beyond my debugging capability at this stage.

!insertmacro: MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU
Usage: ReadRegStr $(user_var: output) rootkey subkey entry
root_key=(HKCR|HKLM|HKCU|HKU|HKCC|HKDD|HKPD)
Error in macro MUI_FUNCTION_STARTMENUPAGE on macroline 10
Error in macro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU on macroline 34
Error in script

I don't have any problems creating MUI installer with NSIS 2.06 and HM NSIS Edit 2.0.3 and I used all the features what wizard haves.

I sorry but that error message don't help at all. Try to click those error messages to see what's the problem in macro MUI_FUNCTION_STARTMENUPAGE on macroline 10 and in macro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU on macroline 34

One possibility is that you haven't installed all the necessary NSIS components to create MUI installer or it could be bug MUI language file or... maybe not. :)

Thanks,

Well, the script only gets as far as below (I've cut portions to avoid overkill).
I haven't done anything fancy. Just downloaded the 2 programs, ran the wizard and I get several errors upon compilation.

Script generated by the HM NIS Edit Script Wizard.

; HM NIS Edit Wizard helper defines

!define PRODUCT_VERSION "1.0"
!define PRODUCT_PUBLISHER "bla"

And the compilation says this:

Sorry about the extra post, this forum was driving me nuts ;-) My username is invalid yet I can post as Guest with that name but I can't edit the posts... I was very confused.

Can someone delete the 1st message for me.

First message deleted.

Your script's problem is that PRODUCT_UNINST_ROOT_KEY and PRODUCT_UNINST_KEY are not defined.
