Whole game setup (w00t)

Hi, well I'm new here, as in forums, as in NSIS =P.

So let me tell you wat's up: I'm trying to make a game Setup.

It has a lot of files and the Spanish tutorials that I read, only explain how to add the files manualy (File *.ext).

Is there, anyway to add all files in a directory and sub directories ?

Other question.

REgistry stuff.

LEt's say I want to add this to the windows registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings]

"io"="1148601249"

"DELV"=dword:00000002

"EngineDLL"="hw.dll"

"User Token 2"=""

"User Token 3"=""

"ScreenWindowed"=dword:00000000

"CrashInitializingVideoMode"=dword:00000000

"ScreenWidth"=dword:00000400

"ScreenHeight"=dword:00000300

"ScreenBPP"=dword:00000010

"EngineD3D"=dword:00000000

How do I do that,(Just one key example :P) and How do I do to read current values if already installed?

Thanx, I'm just asking because I'ts really hard for me to read english tutorials, and spanish ones are useless (could'nt find anithyng about registry or what I've asked).

If someone is experienced and would like to give me some help by MSN, plz send me an PM with email =).

Thanx, sorry if I to n00b :P, hehe.

If you see File instruction at the help system, you notice some flag called wildcard.

Good luck! 🙂

From the help files:

1) Use File File*.ext /r to (r)ecurse through subdirectories.
Look up the File command in the help for more information.

2) Use WriteRegDWord or WriteRegStr to add items to the registry. Look in the help under these items for more information.

Hope this helps.

Thnx, it was hard for me to understand the helpfile, but i finaly got it, thanks for your guide =).

Ok so the installer is ALMOST ready, i have a problem with a registry key.

I'll put it just like windows shows it.

I have spanish windows, so maybe a translation is not good

"name" "tipe" "data(?)"

"EngineDLL" "REG_SZ" "hw.dll"

How do I add that info?. DWORD command worked just fine. but I still can't add that one. =(

I tried:

WriteRegStr HKCU Software\blah\" "ENGINEDLL" "hw.dll"

and

WriteRegStr HKCU Software\blah\" "hw.dll" "ENGINEDLL"

This is what i Have until Now:

I'm not sure if that was the exact code you posted, but you were missing a quote (").
