Strange.
With me so far, the Entries has a list of Files & Directories and there status. those files where need to be in the NSIS folder under CVS. the old version 1.1 and 1.2 copied a blank Entries file over everytime. this is before I knew was i was doing as if i know now!
In the new version that will be release real soon maybe as soon as tomorrow features a lot of new checks as with the CVS Entries file. This check detect if the file exists and if not it creates it.
Now back to the ? mark problem, the Entries was overwritten everytime so the CVS thought that there was a error and moved and download a new version everytime. this means that everytime NSIS Update was ran it update the file in the root NSIS directory.
With the new version the check detect the file and doesnt override the Entries and it just does a cvs update. This mean if you ran NSIS Update 2 times in a row on the second time it wouldnt update any files because the Entries file was correct and the version matched.
I hope I didnt Confuse you!
I am really sorry about doing that I am trying to intergrate my program into a program I new nothing about until yesterday. I have spend the last 14hours working on fixing all the little bugs that bugged me including that one. I guess I thought no one would see that. I just that doesnt make me less of a person. Just foolish
Check the website or check the Forum on news about the 1.3 release!
OK...
Looking foward to see new version...

I found the original post that said to ask for the source code and you'd forward it to folks who ask.
I'm kind of interested in how you've done this.

You will have to write a plug-in that will use ITaskScheduler to schedule tasks on Windows 9x.

Important NoteAbout Release v1.3
If you downloaded version 1.3 between 12am-4pm today you need to uninstall NSIS and NSIS Update. Download the new 1.3 from the website and install. There is no need to remove TortoiseCVS this is just a issue with the installer that happened to slip in.
The is from NSIS Update creating the NSIS install path key. so NSIS is installed on top of NSIS Update script make break and the cause panic!
I am sorry about this but it has been fixed.

Yup, I noticed some weirdeness.
Small request
Could you change the name of the download file for NSIS Update. I find a name like Setup-v1.3.exe really annoying because I download all my files to one directory and then wonder later what on earth Setup-v1.3.exe is, can't you call it NsisUpdate1.3.exe or something?

RE: Small request
Yes I will rename it SunJammer. What do you think of NSIS Update?
Just thought you would like to know I have visited your site many time looking for examples and dll's. Great Site!

Originally posted by TechkidThanks. On that topic the archive will be closing at that location soon, a new one will be up to replace it but not on that server. The new one is being finalised at the moment and I and/or KiCHiK will post here when it's ready.

New Features
In the upcoming version of NSIS Update. I have spent lost of time cleaning the code and as I improve this program I am contantly learning better way to execute code. I have also worked on a couple features as well. The New Features include:
New Control Panel
Okay, there want a control panel before but there was start menu links this link often resulted in wrong direction. eg: Run 'NSIS Update' and people would run 'Update Check' it was misleading. I dont know how many time I accidently uninstall 'NSIS Update' either. And what if you want to Reinstall 'NSIS Update'.
New Name:
The offical Package Name is NSISUpdate-vVersion.exe (Request: SunJammer)
New Update Check:
This is an update to support the new format.
This is just a few of the new thing in store for NSIS Update. I invite you to post ideas for features.

I'm interested in your code. You mentioned the source was online. I'm interested in how you are accomplishing this. Are you coding in NSIS, C or combination of the two? Last I used NSIS it was 1.62. Has NSIS matured enough to do all this.
Anyway, cool tool. Liking it a lot. Love to look at source.
annd Happy birthday.

According to what he said it is all written using NSIS. Even if it isn't, it's all possible using NSIS.

Whats New / Whats Going On
Hello Everyone,
I have several things to talk about so lets get started.
First and most IMPORTANT I had a harddrive failure. This drive was my Backup Drive and Projects Drive. In the event something would happen to my C: drive the D: drive store all my data. So NSIS Update code was lost after hours of trying to retrive data from my 80gb hard that register as 9.4gb and had 2gb free, I gave up. It wasnt a Total failure though the code was in the cvs, well some of it, The UI ans stuff wherent but I was going to create a new UI anyway.
Second I just visit the NEW NSIS Archive and NSIS Update is there, this is awesome. I really like the new archive.
Third It will be a few days before I will start coding on NSIS Update. I have some really code ideas for NSIS Update Also I am working on a solution for the Sheduler on none NT machines. The new code was kinda getting bloaty at 254kb need to cut that down. I guess the Hard Drive failure wasnt such a bad thing ( Okay it was, I lost everything music, videos, websites, projects, backups, dvds) arrrrg!
A Very Upset,
Nathan Purciful

If I were you, I would change my signature.

Thanks for the complements virtlink, I am glad that you liked it.
Really great product! I really like the extensive usage of almost everything in NSIS and especially the good example of a new UI. Keep up the good work 😁
Just one small request.. include an option not to create NSIS program shortcuts when NSIS is automatically installed. Also, is there a good reason why the NSIS shortcuts folder is opened after installation?
