NSIS 2.13 doesn't work on Win 95/98/NT

I can't get the installers compiled with NSIS 2.13 to run on Windows 95/98/NT.
I always get the error:

Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory. Please try again later.

The first problem I faced was trying to install the software using nsis-2.13-setup.exe
I got the same error as above.
OK, so I downloaded nsis-2.13.zip, unzipped and compiled some of the examples to test.
Any installer which uses a plugin does not run on Win 95/98/NT.

The problem does not seem to exist on Win ME and better.

Sorry my English is very very poor.

I agree with you.

I got then same problem here, just tested with 98se & ME, 98se got the same problem, ME is ok.

Now I downgrage to 2.12 to fix this problem.

I found the problem, hopefully we get quick re-release of 2.13

Thanks, 2.14 is currently being released. Quite annoying because I've tested this change mostly on Windows 9x and NT... I just never used the plug-ins 🙁 I'll have to add some more automatic tests to the release script to test on Windows 9x as well.

release of 2.14 was a bit fast 🙂

typo in history.but, line 10:

- \S1{v2.13-cl} Changelog
+ \S1{v2.14-cl} Changelog

Thanks, fixed.
