losing my mind...strloc
  I am loading StrFunc, and i thought nothing of adding

${StrLoc} $0 $ThisString "\" ">"

to my script in order to evaluate whether a \ exists in ThisString

but at compile time i get

!insertmacro: FUNCTION_STRING_StrLoc
!insertmacro: macro "FUNCTION_STRING_StrLoc" requires 0 parameter(s), passed 4!

I look in the StrFunc.nsh and the function looks fine, it wants to evaluate four parameters as expected.

am i losing my mind? Feels that way... it's gotta be something obvious that i'm missing..

OK, every function for StrFunc that i call is giving me the same message.

Other functions work, i can't see why this one won't.
I see it loading without error during the includes, and obviously NSIS has the macros available, but when they are called they are just...broken. wtf is going on here.

${StrStrAdv} $ServerName $name "\" ">" "<" "0" "0" "0"

!insertmacro: FUNCTION_STRING_StrStrAdv
!insertmacro: macro "FUNCTION_STRING_StrStrAdv" requires 0 parameter(s), passed 8!

And before someone asks, yes, i've tried using other 'normal' strings instead of "\"

Tried reinstalling NSIS, no luck.

Really confused. I need these functions.

I was able to use the StrStrAdv from the wiki as a workaround, but I'd like to get StrFunc back and working properly if possible.

From the StrFunc doc:

Every command used in install sections and functions have to be called first before and out of any sections and functions, and without parameters.

OutFile testsetup.exe


>!include "StrFunc.nsh"


   ${StrStr} # Supportable for Install Sections and Functions


   ${UnStrStr} # Supportable for Uninstall Sections and Functions


    Section


     ${StrStr} $0 "OK! Now what?" "wh"


    SectionEnd


    Section Uninstall


     ${UnStrStr} $0 "OK! Now what?" "wh"


    SectionEnd
