Installer for Firefox Toolbar

Check the link on your htm file.
If you extract both the htm and the xpi to the same location, do not include any path when linking.

hi There!

moving
StrCpy $INSTDIR $EXEDIR
above
SetOutPath $INSTDIR

seems to fix the problem but now the installation folder of nettrust is not being made in the program files folder.. even though i am using

InstallDir $PROGRAMFILES\NetTrust\


!define APPNAME "NetTrust"
!define APPNAMEANDVERSION "NetTrust 1.1."

Name "${APPNAMEANDVERSION}"
OutFile "NetTrust.exe"
BrandingText "NetTrust"

InstallDir $PROGRAMFILES\NetTrust\

!include "MUI.nsh"

!define MUI_ABORTWARNING

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "license.txt"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

what could be the problem guys??

You weren't using InstallDir before, or you didn't have it in the script. That's why you needed the StrCpy. Either use InstallDir or the StrCpy code I posted, but not both. The StrCpy sets the $INSTDIR variable to $EXEDIR. InstallDir also sets the $INSTDIR variable to what you want, but before any NSIS code is executed. Therefore the StrCpy is overwriting your "$PROGRAMFILES\NetTrust" value with $EXEDIR.

Remove the StrCpy instruction.

Thanks Afrow!
it finally worked fine... just had one curiosity, now if i removed the strcpy code how is it still not picking up nt.xpi from my hard disk, coz you had suggested the strcpy code to specifically fix that bug?
😎

What do you mean?
In what way is it not 'picking it up'? Does the File instruction fail?

-Stu

no i mean u suggested strcpy as a fix for
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Documents and Settings/varun vasudev/Desktop/fundoo/nt.xpi

now even without strcpy this seems to work, i was just curious how.

Because you didn't have InstallDir in your script and now you do.
