Exception while starting created installer
Need your help:

I have created an installation with NSIS, but on some computers it causes an exception before it starts with the first page :(

Other installs created with NSIS do work on that special computer
On other computers the same install does work!

Does anybody as an idea? Where shall I search for that problem? How can I debug this. The computer seems not to be that much different (same OS, same company network)

Many thanks,

PTKWulfila

What exactly do you mean by exception and what exactly does your installer do?

Problem found
The problem is the SetEnviroment command I used as it is shown in the tutorials:

System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("name", "value").r0'

This does not work on all computers. I found a workaround to work without enviroment variable, but does anybody know how to set the envvar without this problems?

Problems
It ist just the standard Windows dialog - the problem has run into an error and must be closed:

Debug , Do not send, Send report

Just the standard !!!

I can not say more than this - sorry :(

There should be a "more details" link or button. Click on that and post the information from there.
