Creating an installer out of another
Hello.

I have an Wise installer, that not runs under Windows Vista (x10_setup_mce.exe, is a driver setup for MediaCenter Remote).

I already unpacked it, so i have the files. Of my WindowsXP Installation i have the Install.log that is used by the unwise.exe

The Question: Can i create a NSIS Script (where the files have to go is clear) by using the informations the install.log file present me?

I already wrote some NSIS Scripts by hand. A little bit knowlege i have. But i think the log shows not all. I can't see the copy of the drivers. Also during install a batch has been started (a DOS batch), that i also can't find in the log.

The log shows following:

there is no tool available that does the job for you.

the only possibility is to write an installer by hand, that does exactly the actions you can read in the logfile.

i don't know of any method to convert an already packed wise installer to nsis script code.

that's a question you should ask in the Wise forums, not here.
i don't think that anyone in here knows about reading packed wise installer scripts.
