SilentInstall silent should be right. Sounds like the problem is elsewhere in the script. Post up the error messages you're getting, or part of the script and someone might be able to fix it.

I don't understand why you're trying to do a silent install, but you still have

DirText "Choose the Half-Life directory:"

ComponentText "This will install the Maps for SvenCo-op. Select which Maps you want installed."


in your script. Are you sure that you want to be using SilentInstall?? (Making the installer install everything without showing anything on screen)

i think it shows with SilentInstall only the files and not the folder/path
or did i get something wrong ?

SilentInstall does make the installer completely silent. You could use ShowInstDetails hide so as not to list all the files being copied, but they'll still appear above the progress bar as they are being copied.

NSIS docs on SilentInstall:
Specifies whether or not the installer should be silent. If it is 'silent' or 'silentlog', all sections are installed quietly, with no screen output from the installer itself (MessageBoxes are still displayed on error, and the script can still display whatever it wants). Note that if this is set to 'normal' and the user runs the installer with /S on the command line, it will behave as if SilentInstall 'silent' was used.

Yea, SilentInstall is perfect for what I have, but not if you are asking them to choose what they want to install. The only things that can override this are these tags:

Exec
Exec*
MessageBox

and the like.

I created HTML Launcher which uses this. I need to add the current version, but I will have it for download later.

I suggest you take off the SilentInstall, so that it works.

öhm ok now i get it :)

but i want the installer only shows the files and hide the outdut directory

example:
normally it shows

Output directory C:\SIERRA\Half-Life
file1.bsp
file2.bsp
Output direvitry C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\valve
file3.bsp
Complete
but i want it only shows

file1.bsp
file2.bsp
file3.bsp
Complete
is this possible ?

As far as I know it's not possible with NSIS (someone plz correct me if I'm wrong). I can't think why you'd want to though, if people are puttting something on there machine, I imagine most folks would like to be able to see where it's going :confused: :confused: :confused:
