Archive: Random crashes


Random crashes
I've got an installer which generally works, but after some minor changes has suddenly started reliably crashing during the installation.

If I add some DetailPrints into the script, the crashing stops.

This isn't the first time I've seen such behaviour, and it worries me that when I distribute this software it may not be reliable.

Is there a debug mode in either the NSIS compiler, installer or both so maybe I can get something more than random crashes to report?

If you get a crash then it is most likely caused by a plug-in. What plug-ins are you using?

I'm using MUI2.nsh, nsExec::, UserInfo:: and System::.

It also runs okay on XP, just not on Win7.

Try commenting out individual plug-in calls and code until it stops.
