I am puzzled, I thought I had my NSIS installation packages tested and working on Windows 7 32Bit and 64Bit.
Today I get failures to run on:
my Laptop PC (Windows 7 Pro 32Bit SP1)
VMWare Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit SP1
Successful running on
VMWare Windows 7 Home Premium 32Bit
Windows XP Pro SP3
The installation goes as expected.
Running the application has the Error Message:
Component '---.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
At this point the flagged reference files include: MSCOMCT2.OCX, RICHTX32.OCX and threed32.ocx .
The install process places the reference files and manifest files in the install folder.
The only difference, I can think of, is that the failing win7 platforms have 'Service Pack 1'.
I thought sure that I had successfully tested the VMWare Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit SP1 installation, August 2013.
Any ideas, Please!
NSIS install process works on Virtual Win7, not on Actual Win7 SP1?

How are you registering these files?
Actually, it is supposed to be Reg-Free:
This 'Everything needed' is achieved by including manifest files (reg-free COM),thus, refraining from use of the PC Registry.
e.g.:
File "C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVBVM60.dll"
File "D:\Devlpmnt\LANG\VB6\_dllManifest\MSVBVM60.dll.manifest"

Then I would suggest that you remove NSIS from the equation and play around manually until it works...
Thank you for responding. I would not know where to begin with that.
My Laptop PC is my first conversion from Windows XP to Windows 7.
All other Windows 7 experience has been virtual PCs on my Windows XP development PC.

You might want to try Stackoverflow or something like that, this is not really a NSIS specific question.Originally Posted by anderci View PostThank you for responding. I would not know where to begin with that.
Thank you. It not only matters what questions to ask, but where to ask them.
