How to...
Hello I'm a newbie using an NSIS
I need to create a wizard that with next requirement:
1) My Aplication files
2) directX
3) framework 2/3
4) Mfc
And I need only 1 to be packed in the output setup.exe package. All other utilities must not be packed and will be placed on the CD in the Redist folder. But also user I must allow user to not to install some of the utilites. Can it be done using sections. Probably there is a parameter to pack or to use an external folder.
Thank you
try ZipDll or CabDll if u want to put the files in an archive on ur CD.
there is a function to check the insatlled version of the .net framework

Thank you for your reply
Probably my post had an incorrect information
There might me next structure that will be on CD
Folder Redist that will contain
dotnetfx2.exe
dotnetfx3.exe
...
and the setup.exe file
And the wizard should not pack the folder Redist. Is it possible to make script not to pack them but to take from the relative path?
To run an installer from a set path, use 'Execwait FULLPATH'.
Simply use the wizard to allow the user to install or not the different sections. After the script is generated, use Execwait to run the files that have just been copied over. Make sure to put the Execwait inside the correct sections, so that the Execwait commands only run if the section is ticked to install.
Think that should work.
Thank you hungryOrb
the Execwait is the solution
But I'm also intrested in the example that mentioned fabian.rap.more
I found the example that shows how to check for framework version and if it does not exist it will download the required.
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/DotNET
this exapmple work with framework 2.0
But when I gave the version 3.0 it doesn't check correctly and returns that I have the only FW 2.0 installed. But I also have the FW 3 and even 3.5 installed.
How can I modify that script to make it check correctly for installed version?
Thank you
put some detailprint some messageboxes at keypoints and see what it returns then modify it accordingly
This could be a solution thank you
