Installer only works on my machine.
So, I was writing an installer for a custom Counter-Strike: Source GUI (very simple). The installer works fine on my machine, but doesn't work for anyone else... I mean no one. I can't understand what the problem is. The process shows up in the task-manager, and it's using a TON of resources, but the installer never shows on the desktop. Here's the code..
;Steam folder finder for dod source....
;It will detect the Vista install path and if not found move to XP... if no luck still will display a message of a manual install
;Next is the Steam folder finder Functions.
;Looking for Vista or XP install path... querying the registry now...
InstallDirRegKey HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\stall\Steam App 300" "InstallLocation"
InstallDirRegKey HKCU "Software\Valve\Steam" "ModInstallPath"
Function .onInit
;If Windows Vista is there, read this and go to ok next or not finding Vista go to WinXP next...
ReadRegStr $R0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 300" "InstallLocation"
IfErrors winXP ok
winXP:
;Vista seems not to be there. Will now read a XP registry key and go to ok or noXP next... manual install message...
ReadRegStr $R0 HKCU "Software\Valve\Steam" "ModInstallPath"
IfErrors noXP ok
noXP:
IfErrors notok ok
notok:
;notok means we may have a retail version or a screwed up registry, lets display a huge instruction message for the user to manually install...
