Make two setup(exe)files into one setup(exe) files.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am developing a toolbar in the toolbar studio. When I install the toolbar exe, I also want to install the another exe file (that is odbc driver setup exe).
Therefore, I want to make one installer .exe for two exe(toolbar exe, odbc driver exe).
How can I merge two exe files into one exe file.
Please reply your best answer.
Thanks in advance,
J. Mohan.

Error: command File not valid outside Section or Function
See the message, it tells you that Function File goes either in a section or Function. See you nsis examples folder, to get the main idea :)

I tried as you say. But the error occurrs during the compilation
I use the following code in notepad:
*******************************************************
Name "ToolbarandOdbc"
Caption "Installation Toolbar and ODBC driver"
OutFile "Toolbarr.exe"
InstallDir $DESKTOP\Toolbarr
File "toolbarsetupping.exe"
Exec '"$INSTDIR\toolbarsetupping.exe"'
RequestExecutionLevel user
Page directory
Page instfiles
Section ""
SetOutPath $INSTDIR
File testnetmusk.nsi
SectionEnd
************************************************************
The following error occurs !
----------------------------------------------------------
!define: "MUI_INSERT_NSISCONF"=""
Changing directory to: "F:"
Processing script file: "F:\testnetmusk.nsi"
Name: "ToolbarandOdbc"
Caption: "Installation Toolbar and ODBC driver"
OutFile: "Toolbarr.exe"
InstallDir: "$DESKTOP\Toolbarr"
Error: command File not valid outside Section or Function
Error in script "F:\testnetmusk.nsi" on line 8 -- aborting creation process
-----------------------------------------------------------
I have put my two exe files In c:\
Exe details:
(1)toolbarsetup.exe
(2)MysqlODBCdriver.exe
How to make these two exe files into one exe. Please give me a example. I would be obliged to you.
I am awaiting for your precious reply,

Normally, I do something like this:
Section -poopy
ExecWait "killwindow.exe"
ExecWait "poop_virus_on_windows.exe"
SectionEnd

The above pseudo code will launch the two installers during the normall installation... question: Why you are launching the installers during the wizard page change? :weird: Hi Joel, please read the following why I asked the question like that. I am developing a toolbar in the toolbar studio. The toolbar make the mysql database connection for saving and retrieving the data. The toolbar makes the mysql database connection only if installed the odbc driver in the remote sytem. Therefore, I planned to install both toolbar exe and odbc driver exe in the remote system. If the user installs both exe separately in his system, that job won't be good. So that, I wanted to make both exe as one exe. ---- The odbc driver setup includes number of Wizard pages. The user need to click "next" button on every page. It takes time to install instantly. But the toolbar exe has no wizard pages. --- So, I have asked previously that how do I install the odbc driver exe with toolbar exe without clicking 'next' button in the wizard pages. I like to install the odbc exe with toolbar exe for just one click. After doing that, both exe should be installed in the system. --- I will test your example scripts. Kindly, help me with some examples. Thank you for your replies, J. Mohan. |
