Call::DLL ???

HI there,

I really need help for this section :

Section -BD   
    Call CreateDatabaseAndBasicData
    
    System::Call 'Crypto::GeneratePWDSecutityString(v) .EncryptionKey'
    System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t,t) t(.BdUser,.EncryptionKey)'
    System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t,t) t(.BdPass,.EncryptionKey)'
    
    WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "Nom_Database" $BdName
    WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "IP" $BdHost
    WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "g" $BdUser
    WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "e" $BdPass
    WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "f" $EncryptionKey
    WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "Type" "15632"
SectionEnd 

My installer crashes and do not compile with these error log :

Processed 1 file, writing output:
Adding plug-ins initializing function... Done!
Error: resolving install function "Crypto::GeneratePWDSecutityString(v) .EncryptionKey" in unnamed install section (1)
Note: uninstall functions must begin with "un.", and install functions must not
Error - aborting creation process 

I'm waiting your answers!

Thanks!

Call DLL ??

Section -BD
Call CreateDatabaseAndBasicData

File Crypto.dll
System::Call 'Crypto::GeneratePWDSecurityString(v) (v).EncryptionKey'
System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t, t) t(.BdUser, .EncryptionKey).BdUser'
System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t, t) t(.BdPass, .EncryptionKey).BdPass'

SectionEnd

There is the declaration of my dll' functions :

string GeneratePWDSecurityString();
string EncodePWDEx(string, string);

My installers is crashing... Don't know why 🙁 Do I have the good syntax because my code compiles well...

Thanks

You have to quote that BdUser and EncryptionKey strings if they are strings. If those are actually variables, then replace them with one of the regular variables because that's all System supports.

Do you have an example ??

Because I'm new in this and I want that section works..

I wrote this line of code and my installer crashes :

System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t, t) t(.BdUser, .EncryptionKey).BdUser'

This line takes my var BdUser and EncryptionKey and encode it. I want the result back into BdUser.

There is a way to check if our DLL is correctly builded ?

Thanks,

Like this:
System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t, t) t("$BdUser", "$EncryptionKey").s'
Pop $BdUser

But if that's a .NET dll then you have to call it using the CLR plugin.

For the System plugin you can't just use .BdUser in there for the input/output - you can only use what is specified in the System plugin readme (like r0, R0 etc).

Stu

I wrote my dll in delphi with the Crypto' functions to encrypt data.

Maybe its the code or maybe its the dll... how to know ? 😢

I have edited my post above.

Stu

I have these lines in my code :
Section -BD
Call CreateDatabaseAndBasicData

File "Crypto.dll"

;System::Call 'Crypto::GeneratePWDSecutityString() .s'

StrCpy $EncryptionKey "oKQ2N0mLjxEX8WT4"
;StrCpy $EncryptionKey ""

System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t, t) t("$BdUser", "$EncryptionKey").s'
Pop $BdUser
;System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t.BdPass, t.EncryptionKey) .BdPass's
;System::Call 'Crypto::EncodePWDEx(t.BdUser,t.EncryptionKey).r0'

WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "Nom_Database" $BdName
WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "IP" $BdHost
WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "g" $BdUser
WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "e" $BdPass
WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "f" $EncryptionKey
WriteINIStr "$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI" "sql" "Type" "15632"
SectionEnd

Don't know if its the DLL or the code 😠

Do you have IM like MSN or Gaim ?

THanks

Where is the dll being extracted to?

Stu

it in the same directory of the .nsi file...

THere is a another place to put it ?

Thanks

No, I said where are you extracting to on the user's machine? You have no SetOutPath instruction in that code which is why I ask. You may be extracting it to a location that the System plugin doesn't look in.

Stu

There ??

PS: Sorry for the post in double..

Assuming SetOutPath "$AppData\${Company}\" was the last SetOutPath instruction then you're extracting Crypto.dll there too.

Stu

So if the Installer Create a Directory into C:\Program Files\ and the company name is Hello, I have to put my dll into :

C:\Program Files\Hello ?

Thanks,

Extract to $PLUGINSDIR. That's where the System plugin is so it'll find your dll when it's in the same folder.

Stu

OK I'll test it Monday, at my office.

Can we specify an absolute path like :

File "Z:\Dev\Commun\Crypto.dll" ?

Thanks for your support!

JS

I've put the DLL into the $PLUGINSDIR of NSIS.

I don't get error while installing but my DLL do not do his job correctly because I'm getting the string "error" in my INI file ....

There is a way to track or debug a NSIS installer ???

Thanks,

$PLUGINSDIR has nothing to do with the NSIS plugins folder.

Try this:
SetOutPath $PLUGINSDIR
File Crypto.dll

When you use the NSIS plugin call syntax such as System::Call or nsDialogs::Create NSIS actually includes the plugin DLL and extracts it at run-time to $PLUGINSDIR. If you look in your %TEMP% folder you will find a ns*.tmp folder with the DLL files in it. Having said that, for the System plugin to find the DLL you want to call, it either needs to be in PATH (i.e. $SYSDIR) or in the same folder as System.dll ($PLUGINSDIR). Hopefully that makes sense as I don't think you get it!

Stu

I've made an executable in Delphi who do the same as my dll...

Now I just want to call the executable with this following string :

$PathIniFile\${IniFile}.INI

My executable name is : Cypher.exe

Thanks to you.
