Archive: UAC plug in


UAC plug in
I'm having difficulty getting the examples nsi scripts to "install" on a virtual vista machine. I'm compiling it on windows-xp. In order for this to work, do I need to compile it in a Vista environment?


any os version will do.

What exactly is the problem?


I get an error code of "87" which is the decimal of the last two hex digits in the error 0x------57
Also generally listed is "invalid parameters". I tried 2 of the sample programs provided with the UAC plugin, both got the same error. I also used one of my Windows xp installers (nsis created) and it had the same parameter error, although it runs fine on xp.


When you say "I also used one of my Windows xp installers (nsis created) and it had the same parameter error" does this installer also use the UAC plugin?

Also, it would help if you could tell WHEN this error occurs, and what UAC function caused it if you know (use MessageBox style debugging)


more info
1- no - my regular installer did not use the module.
2- I just sent the UAC_AllowLUA.exe to someone with a real Vista machine and from the output it looks like it worked.

I'm deducting that the trouble I'm having must be with the Virtual Vista program itself, even though I was told it would run identically to a Vista installation.
