MUI_WELCOMEPAGE problems
Hi,

I'm new to the forums and new to developing using NSIS for creating an installer. I have searched the forums and read the wiki and the NSIS manuals, but I can figure out why my Welcome and Finish page do not have anything in them! Not even the title and text that I assigned to it! I think there is something I'm missing (between the manuals and the example scripts I thought I was doing everything right). Here is my set up.

**not sure if there is a format for posting code here so forgive me!***

Start
!define MUI_PRODUCT "Vmerse 1.0"
!include "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh"

;--------------------------------------------------------------

;General

# The name of the installer
Name "Vmerse"
Caption "Law School Vmerse Installer"
XPStyle On

!define MUI_ABORTWARNING

# The file to write
OutFile "Vmerse-setup.exe"

!define MUI_ICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install-colorful.ico"
!define MUI_UNICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall-colorful.ico"

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Header
!define MUI_UI_HEADERIMAGE "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\UIs\modern_headerbmp.exe"
!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\nsis.bmp"

!define MUI_UI "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\UIs\modern.exe"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Modern UI Configuration

; Pages
!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE "Welcome to the MyApplication Setup Wizard"

!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT "This wizard will guide you through the installation of my test application.\r\n\r\n$_CLICK"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_TEXT_TOP "My End Users License Agreement"
!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_RADIOBUTTONS
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "my-eula.rtf"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT "Launch My Application"

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "README.txt"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_TEXT "View Readme"
!define MUI_TEXT_FINISH_SHOWREADME "README.txt"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_FINISH

I also have some functions defined (which I'm not sure if they are conflicting) at the end of my script

Function .onInit
# the plugins dir is automatically deleted when the installer exits
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\mysplash.bmp"
splash::show 6000 $PLUGINSDIR\splash

Pop $0 ; $0 has '1' if the user closed the splash screen early,
; '0' if everything closed normal, and '-1' if some error occured.

IfFileExists "$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe" Ask_Question
Goto INSTALL
Ask_Question:
MessageBox MB_YESNO "You seem to have this program \
already installed. Would you like to \
uninstall it first?" \
IDYES UNINSTALL IDNO INSTALL

UNINSTALL:
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"'

FunctionEnd


Function un.onInit
MessageBox MB_YESNO "This will uninstall my application. Do you wish to continue?" IDYES NoAbort
Abort ; causes uninstaller to quit.
NoAbort:
FunctionEnd

Function un.onUninstSuccess
MessageBox MB_OK "You have successfully uninstalled ${MUI_PRODUCT}."
FunctionEnd

;eof

I'm sorry if the post comes out unformatted. Please and thank you for your help!

Put !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" after all your !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_...

Also, !include "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh" is not really necessary. You can use !include "MUI.nsh" to do the same thing.

Hi Afrow UK!

Thank you so much for your reply. Maybe I'm still missing something (by the way, if it helps I'm using NSIS 2.0.9)?

What I did was to add !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" 4 times. That is, after each MUI_UNPAGE in my script.

I also changed the header file to just be MUI.nsh (should have realized that it referenced the System.nsh header anyway :)).

I did receive compiler errors after addining the !insertmacro line. Here are the errors that I receive.

Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGEFILE_BEGIN on macroline 15
!include: error in script: "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files\English.nsh" on line 9
Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGE on macroline 5


I looked at the file in question but really couldn't make heads or tails of the error mesage.

Thanks again for your help!

You only need to insert MUI_LANGUAGE once after all MUI_PAGE* and MUI_UNPAGE. Take a look at the examples in Examples\Modern UI.

Hi,

Yes I started with the example, which is why I'm now posting. I followed the example but still get the error message when I add the line !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

Here is the error message I get, it looks like it is happening in the English.nsh header file first.

Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGEFILE_BEGIN on macroline 15
!include: error in script: "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files\English.nsh" on line 9
Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGE on macroline 5
Error in script "C:\Documents and Settings\jonessm\Desktop\MyApplication\installer.nsi" on line 65 -- aborting creation process

Does this error message look familiar to anyone?

Thank you again for your help!

That's a generic message saying where the error was (execution stack, if you wish). The error itself is at least one line above that.
