Attached is the script

Mr Inches

OK - the problem on line 79 of your script is that you are using the variable ALREADY_INSTALLED for the "shared" parameter of the InstallLib, but you haven't declared it anywhere nor assigned it a value (I think InstallLib expects a value of 'NOTSHARED' or any other value. If any another value is specifed, it will query the share/installed count of the library held in the registry - if this is wrong, someone else correct me here, I haven't used InstalledLib, I am doing this from inspection of the NSIS include file.)

There is a further error on line 86 of the macro, this is because the backslash in the first library filename is outside the double quotes. (\"msvbvm60.dll" should be "\msvbvm60.dll"). This is on line 79 of your script too.

Hope that helps.

Thanx for the help.
Have succesfully compiled the application though the're 2 errors relating to MUI_Temp1 and MUI_Temp2 whats this?

While installing the compiled application the directory page didnt appear so im wondering what did i do wrong and what should i do to display the directory page (Please find the attached nsi file)

Was also trying to add an icon to the installer instead of the default winamp like icon and it failed how do i create it?

The script is differnt from the other posted scripts

Mr Inches
2nd February 2006 14:29 UTC

I have been through the attached script and fixed up (most) of the problems. Amendments are in the attached script. (I commented out the erroneous lines and tried to add an explanation to each one.). You should read the Modern UI doco if you want to configure the interface further.

The MUI_TEMP1 and MUI_TEMP2 warnings result from you not managing to display any of the MUI pages; now the script will do that, those should be toast.

I fixed up a number of other things so the script would compile on my computer, which I am glad to say it does. I even ran it and it seems to park stuff in the designated places. Didn't check the uninstall though, but it looks reasonable.

One thing to note, ensure that your code to set ALREADY_INSTALLED doesn't just set it to a non-zero value; as per my previous post, I think InstallLib is looking for a string containing "NOTSHARED" or another string value e.g. "SHARED", indicating it should update the registry with the additional "install" of the libraries.

You may have also have to register some or all of the libraries once you have copied them onto the target computer e.g regsvr32 <blah.ocx> or similar. The uninstall may have to unregister and offer to delete them (if it thinks it is the last application using them).

Mr Inches
2nd February 2006 14:37 UTC

Caveat to my last post - I left the InstallLib lines commented out - they don't need to be - I just don't have the libraries on my computer and they stopped the compile from working. Oops.

The below output is what is generated after working as advised by Mr Inches.
Have uncommented the areas relevant to the application im compiling.

Why does it generate this error despite it completes compilation and giving the setup program.
How do I now change the page titles to reflect the appliction being compilied?

im still in the pit !!!!

Have actually downloaded vb6sp6 so as to update my runtime files and wanted to have the same done to all machines i install my application instead of having all dlls and ocx files being bundled together with my application.
What i want to know is how do make the file run before executing the rest of the commands as in installing my application?
I do anticipate that the same applies if happen to include mdac_types 2.8 or any other executable file that has to be run before completing the installation of my application.
Can someone ples3e help me;)

Mr Inches
2nd February 2006 21:40 UTC

The warnings are being generated because the items you are setting (MUI_PRODUCT and MUI_FILE) are deprecated (discouraged from being used usually because they have replaced with something else). As I noted in my comments, use something like:

!define PRODUCT "ADOShow"
Name ${PRODUCT}
!define APPFILE "${PRODUCT}.exe"

and replace all occurences of MUI_PRODUCT with PRODUCT and MUI_FILE with APPFILE.

As for the title on each page, assuming you do the above, you could use something like:
Caption "${PRODUCT} Setup" ;this duplicates the default caption.

To install VBSP6, use ExecWait command to run the service pack installer in quiet mode. e.g.

ExecWait "VB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe" "/Q"
IfErrors FailedToInstallVBSP6

If you culd have read from the top of this thread you could have found all the responses and areas that were really confusing i did provide the whole script unless its not showing on your browser.
All the same thanks to everyone who has been participating in this thread that has really tought me so much.
However something compels me to install the mdac setup file which if run in silent mode i almost doubt if it really installs, how would i be sure it really did?
Any ideas?

You have pasted in 4 very long makensis.exe outputs. That's what I see first when I look at this thread. It makes the thread hard to follow. Please attach it next time.

Re: MDAC installation.

This should be the same as the VB Service Pack, just check for a non-zero exitcode on return. Most programs return an exit code of non-zero if they didn't work.
