/? on the command line

Hi all,
I have created installer using NSIS script.If i run this .exe file using following command not working: mysetup.exe /? .This installs the setup instead of showing help.

Please anyone text me the solution.

Thanks in advance.

Installer usage is in the docs: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Cha...installerusage.

Hi,
I tried that one already.But not working.If i execute mysetup.exe from command line,it will always installing the setup.Whether we have to add something in script?

You will have to modify the NSIS source code for the installer to handle /?.

Is there any link available?

Here you go.

Thank you.I'll check.

Come on, source code is available on the download page for NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download.

Do you really need the /? command line option? Is it worth the trouble of adding it to the installer?

Ya i need /? command.I want to run normal installation,silent one and have to extract particular folder.Above all these have to do from command line like:/S,/extract

I have downloaded that source file.There are many sample scripts available.But i dont know which one for my requirement.I tried above all exe files from /? command,but nothing has showing help prompt.

Use the GetParameters and GetOptions helper functions in FileFunc.nsh

Thank you..

How to use if statement for macro

Hi all,
Aik We can use !ifdef outside of the function or section.Here,I am getting the command line arguments in $R0.But If i execute the .exe file created by the following script with "Command /? (.exe /?)" not showing "welcomepage".That "/?" is defined during run time.My intention is if i execute the .exe file with "/?" command should show the "WELCOMEPAGE",and other commands should not.Can anyone tell me the solution?.Just see the ifdef function.


-----------------------------
outfile "ifdef.exe"
!include "MUI.nsh"
!include "FileFunc.nsh"
!include "LogicLib.nsh"

function .oninit
${getparameters} $R0
functionend

!define $R0

!ifdef /?
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!endif

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

-----------------------------

No, you can't mix compile time commands and runtime commands like that. $R0 is only available at runtime, but you are feeding that to a compile time command.

One work around is to do it all at runtime, like this:

Name "test1"
OutFile "test1.exe"
RequestExecutionLevel user
!include "MUI2.nsh"
!include "FileFunc.nsh"
!include "LogicLib.nsh"
Function .oninit
  ${getparameters} $R0
FunctionEnd
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE WelcomePre
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
Function WelcomePre
  StrCmp $R0 "/?" +2
  Abort
FunctionEnd

Hi,
Actually i have to create .exe file,which is for installation (both silent and normal). And if i run this .exe file from command line:1.If silent "/S" and if "/?" is for Help.But following code not working properly.i.e., If i run " .exe /? " command showing "Help", after that again it showing welcome box ,installing and finish page.

NOTE:We can do that one if we use abort or quit after message box (same as following code).But i should not use ABORT in complete code.

Use IfSilent to skip the Abort command.
