MakeNSIS Windows Wrapper - Crash
I've got a problem with version 0.9j of MakeNSISW. Always when I try to compile a certain project and use the wrapper, MakeNSISW crashes at the same point (when NSIS is busy with a File /r command). Without the wrapper, everything works fine.

:igor:

Could you send me the script that this occurs with.

It crashes when I'm using the File /r command to add about 1000 files to my projects.

The content of the wrapper windows is +/- 32 kb when it crashes, maybe an overflow when there is too many text in the textbox?

Debugging:
Unhandled exception in makensisw.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

I've got the problem fixed now. It was a problem with the logwindow size. If you need an updated copy, just email me. Else, I will post the source shortly.

Rob,

could you please post newer versions of Makensisw also in binary form ? I don't have Visual C++ to create executable file.

Thanks

I'd like to have the version too (source or binary is both ok). :)

Version 1.0 seems to works better, but it still crashes on large output sometimes.

Yes, I think the LogMessage function is buggered. I will try to wade through it and see what is causing the problems.

See if this fixes your problems. I am not able to reproduce the bug. I've tried with insane script sizes and I don't receive a crash. Make sure you compile in release mode so it will replace the current version.

I've had no problems so far with this version. Version 1.0 crashed only once, so I'll have to test it a bit longer to be sure about it.

The script size is not the problem, but the output of MakeNSIS. If you want to do some testing, just try to add 1000 files (or even more) with the File /r command, MakeNSIS will output a line for every file:

File: "1" .... bytes
File: "2" .... bytes
File: "3" .... bytes
File: "4" .... bytes
File: "5" .... bytes
File: "6" .... bytes

etc.

Yes, when I said script size, I meant the size of the output that is logged. I've tried with outputs up to 84k with no problems. Hopefully the problem is really fixed now.
