I'm making my way through the final step of my first map and need some guidance.
I'm unsure about how to address MAP_URL,MAP_EMAIL,MAP_COPYRIGHT ?
For the time being I left the default info as is and tried to compile the setup files but I received an error:
Processing script file: "C:\MapTemp\map_install_x64-x86.nsi"
Invalid command: ;--------------------------------
Error in script "C:\MapTemp\map_install_x64-x86.nsi" on line 1 -- aborting creation process.
I moved all the files to a more Root location as suggested (C:\MapTemp\ if it didn't compile the first time-which it did not) but it still did not work ?
What does line 1 say. It seems like the nsi file was opened in something like Microsoft word rather than notepad and it added formatting.
The map URL should be where it'll be posted (like here) the email and copyright should be you.
As you can see line one is a semi colon followed but a string of dashes ;-----------------------------------
I cannot tell where these other three incorrect characters ()are coming from in the Invalid command statement.
The map_install_x64-x86.nsi file automatically opens in Notepad.
When I reopen the file it looks exactly like it should on line one. One semi colon followed by the dashes.
Also if it has any bearing I am using NSIS 2.5
Just try deleting line 1 completely and see if it compiles
Deleted line one but the error now is Invalid command :  line one. These three characters I cannot seem to be rid of? ?
Create a new text file and copy and paste all the content into it. Save that then rename it as a .nsi file and try to compile. It sounds like an encoding error. I'd attach a new one but I can't do it from this device so that won't be until Monday.
Used Notepad++ to make the copy. This time I did not drag and drop the .nsi file into the NSIS window but rather clicked File,Load Script.... It then worked.
Thank you for your assistance.
Moving forward......
Note: There is a new map install file. You definitely want to re-compile with the new version. Updated version here (https://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tools/map_install.zip).
Thanks Dan
I will give this a go.

Just to let you know running the new map install files resulted in the same line one error I was having before.

that is a BOM for UTF-8 in CP1252.

It is still whatever you are opening it in most likely? I open and edit all these nsi files in notepad++. If you copy/past it to a new text document it should go away.
Down-loaded the setup template files to my Downloads folder.
Right clicked then "extracted all" to the folder where my map is located.
Opened the file with Notepad++. Made the appropriate edits and saved the file. Opended NSIS and ran the script. Same error. Line one.
I reopened the script, Clicked Edit-Select all,Control C to copy. Then opened another Notepad++ window clicked Edit-Paste. Saved as a copy in the same folder as original.
Ran the script copy. Now I get an error that it cannot find the license.txt file located in c:gps_map.
So I create a folder named gps_map in C directory then move the license.txt created by MapsetToolkit to that folder.
Ran the set-up script again. Now it completes and puts the install.exe in my release folder.
I test the .exe set up which loads the files to the C directory: Program Files(x86) by default.
Opened BaseCamp --No map ??? Looked in C:Program Files(x86) and my Vermont Topo files are there.
Wish I knew how to figure out what I'm doing wrong here.
Included is a copy of the result of the install script in Notepad
Open regedit (start>run>regedit or on windows 10 just hit start then type regedit
Now bury down to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\Vermont Topo
Is it there? If so, does is have ID as 2B03? Now go on more "folder" (called 1) and make sure BMAP, LOC, and TBD (if you have it) are all pointing at the right location. This would also be a good time to make sure Vermont Topo isn't the only thing in the families folder.
Let me know the status of that? Are you running Windows 10 64-bit?
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Vermont Topo is there but the ID is 2b03 not 2B03.
BMAC and LOC is in folder"1" but no TBD
I have only one other map in the Families folder. It is an OSM generic routable .
That is where its supposed to be...
How big is your setup file? Can you attach it or send it to
[email protected] ? (perhaps zip the .exe file since otherwise everything in the world will block it).
