CAN someone write me a NSIS installer ? by TazDevil on 08-07-2005 at 09:21 AM
i would like a NSIS installer for Window Management plugin, but i dont know how to write is so i would appreciate all the help
i want to:
- a simple gui, nothing fancy or anything (modern gui would be nice.)
- detect if Plus! is not installed -> abord
- detect the plus plugin folder from HKLM or HKCU
- detect if MSN v7 is not installed in the system -> abort
- detect if MSN is running and perform a plugin unload.
- install the plugin
- then reload the plugins in MSN
- ohh and a message at the end of the install that a user needs to enable the plugin from the plugins list in Plus! configuration, i fit is not automatically enabled
Thanksin advance
I think someone should write teh basic code an d put it as a sticky in the plugins area, so that ppl can have an installer to use.

It's not very difficult to do that with Inno Setup...

I don't know NSIS very well, so I can't help you with that. Although I'm a fan of Inno setup and I'm sure it's possible to make what you're looking for...
P.M. me if you need my help...

Here you go
Keep n mind that I also have some modified/self-written plugins, and the installer will not work/compile out-of-the-box.
For example the ads thing uses a plugin for a countdown timer, and a modified plugin for a HTML frame
Anyway, it has msgplus check, and it can install msgplus if it's not present too
