Multiple launch of my installer on windows 98
I've created an installer doing really basic stuff :
- install some files (in fact near 4000 html files) ;
- create some shortcuts.

It works great on Windows XP (no SP, SP1 and SP2).

With Windows 98, it has a funny behavior. It works great till half done. Then, it begins to launch the installer a few times but continues to install my files. At the end, installation is done but it has launched about ten times the installer.

I really don't understand what's going on.

I can send you the entire nsis script if you need so.


Regards,
Guillaume.

BTW, I used NSIS 2.09.

Not much can be said without an example. Try creating a minimal example that reproduces the problem. Chances are you'll find the problem yourself while minimizing the script, and if not, someone else will find it in the minimized script. You can start by looking at the problematic areas such as calls to Exec, ExecWait and ExecShell.

I'm sorry. In fact, it was due to a bad CD drive. Putting another CD drive and the problem is gone.
