Install structure question
I have an installer which I used as a basis for my design some time ago (3-4 yrs ago). I get some warnings and unexpected behavior, hopefully someone can make some suggestions for a good architecture. I think I originally swiped it from Firefox, but I could be way off.
Pseudocode here:
install.nsi
in the beginning, set a few of !defines for version, etc
!include "${SCRIPTDIR}${SCRIPTNAME}.conf.nsh" <- a bunch of !defines get set here
Icon "setup.ico"
UninstallIcon "uninstall.ico"
!define MUI_ICON "setup.ico"
!define MUI_UNICON "uninstall.ico"
!include "${SCRIPTDIR}${SCRIPTNAME}.macros.nsh" <- not much in here, only three macros
;logger hack
!macro Logger What
!ifdef NSIS_CONFIG_LOG
LogSet "${What}"
!endif
!macroend
!macro Log What
!ifdef NSIS_CONFIG_LOG
LogText "${What}"
!endif
!macroend
!define MUI_BrandingText "${PRODUCT} Installer v${SCRIPTVERSION}"
!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE
!ifdef LICENSEFILE
!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE
LicenseData "${LICENSEFILE}"
!endif
!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE
!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_SMALLDESC
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\${EXE}"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_NOREBOOTSUPPORT
!define MUI_ABORTWARNING
!define MUI_UNINSTALLER
!define MUI_UNCONFIRMPAGE
