When I build a map installer with NSIS everything seems to install properly but the installer is not writing the registry entries. I have to manually run the xxx.reg file to get the map to load in map source This happens even when the installer is run as administrator. I am using the map_install.nis file from this site and the OS is windows 7. Does anyone have a fix for this or any ideas?
Prolly a different problem in XP
Just tried it in XP the NC map installer from this site works and I can load my maps into mapsource with mapsettoolkit but when I use the install.exe i made I get problem occurred with installation error and mapsource crashes. tried to manually run the xx.reg file and got the same errors and have to uninstall my maps for mapsource to work again. BTW I have tried several versions of mapsource and they all behave the same way.
Anyway I am sure its something simple i am overlooking in the xx.nis script or maybe I should try a different program than NSIS.
Thanks

Might be easier for us to detect an issue in your NSIS file if you attached it.
Thanks for the fast replies. Here is a copy of the .nis file file for the custom type test. The other test file is the same except for lines 15,109,119 are commented out.

I've run OZ's plain vanilla NSIS installer script on both XP and Win7, without problems on install or uninstall, but I haven't used custom TYP files.
Maps automatically go to the Program Files X86 folder in Win7 64bit.
I just rebuilt my installer package with Clickteam's Install Creator and got the same behavior as NSIS. Then I set the installer to run the .reg file as visible at the end of the install process. Now at the last installer window a box pops up asking for permission to add to the registry, click ok and the .reg entries installed ok and mapsource loads the maps perfectly ;D. This worked with both standard and custom types but it's not as clean as having the installer write them. I am going to keep messing with NSIS and see if I can get it to work correctly.
on win7 right click on your install and tell it to run as administrator; see if that works then we can narrow it down.
I've built the installs on xp and 7 (and even vista) and installed on all of those.
Thanks for all the help everyone. Oz I have run the installer as administrator and get the same behavior. I am going to create a small test mapset and go though everything again to see if i messed up somewhere. Will post what happens in a little while.

Notice the only change is Wow6432Node folder entry. The test was done with a known working image of 1 24000 quad and the installer was run normally without admin rights in Win7 64B. The uninstaller works ok and removes all the associated registry entires. Next I am going to test this on my map and will update this thread when I get done but I expect it to work.
Freecat
NSIS Installer worked just fine with my map both with and without custom types. I think the script can be modified the to check the registry and use the correct set of reg entries for the OS that it is being installed into. The NSIS registry plug-in looks like it is able to do this. I could give it a try but I am sure Oz can do it better.
Next I have to sort out my previously mentioned issues on XP WEEEEEEEEEE fun :-\

I got everything working fine in xp with the original .nsi file. It must have been a issue with my mapsource install. Once I un.../reinstalled and updated mapsource my map installed without a issue, both with and without custom types.
Oz thanks for your help and for making the .nsi script. If not for this site :) and folks like you this type of project would be much more difficult to complete.
=^_^= Freecat=^_^=
Hmm, the issue will be that in 32bit windows that doesn't exist so I think if someone uses a 32 bit windows they won't be able to install it...
Hi Oz
Your correct the script I posted will only work in 64 bit windows. Since NSIS scripts can read/write to the registry and also can check conditions (if statements), I think I can have the script check the bit type then load the 32 bit or the 64 bit reg entries based on the result of the condition check. NSIS has a registry plug-in that should make this easy.
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Registry_plug-in (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Registry_plug-in)
I am going to start making the changes to the script as soon as I figure out how to get the OS bit type from the registry. I think I can just check for the Wow6432Node folder and if if the check returns true install the 64 bit reg entries and if not install the 32 bit reg entries.
Freecat
All right I have the modified map_install.nsi script written, commented and tested. 8)
What I did was (also see script comments)
1- Put registry entries into separate functions for each Bit type
2-Run a check for a folder that is only on 64 bit systems
3-Execute the correct function based on the result of #2
NOTE FOR CUSTOM TYPES: Un-comment and adjust lines- 17, 109 ,159(for 64 bit), 186(for32bit)
It works fine in Windows XP 32Bit and on Windows 7 64Bit. If anyone can test this script on Vista 32/64 and XP 64Bit and post back to this thread that would be awesome. Also I can zip this file up and host it on my website or can I or a Mod put it into the download section here???
Anyhow here's the new script

That is what is linked to from the tutorial so I've put yours in place of it.
I'll get to test it tomorrow hopefully on my new map. I just wonder why it worked on my w7-64 with no issues...
Hi Oz
I think the reason that the installer worked for you is that NSIS has a way to check the bit type of the OS and then make changes to the registry part of the installer based on this. From what I have read this is a very buggy feature and rarely works right. Several developers have made plug-ins to check the OS and bit type and return a string to get around this bug but I think the way I did it will be fine to.
Let me know how your test go and if I need to make any changes to the script.
Thanks

Alright; after accidentally deleting all my new .img files I've remade them and tried out the installer.
With a brand new install of nsis it doesn't include Registry.nsh
Second problem: the uninstall won't be clean because it only looks for the 32bit entries and removes them.
Edit; my script didn't actually work; I have to look into what changes I made and why they weren't working.
Edit 2: I think the new script i wrote fixing the above works BUT... the preview files didn't compile correctly so I can't test it.
Hi Oz
Registry.nsh Should have been deleted from the includes. This was a 3rd party registry plug-in that I was messing with. It is not necessary for the script to work. I will edit the code I posted sorry.
The script changes I made does remove the registry entries from 32 or 64 bit systems. I checked again on both 32bit xp and 64bit win7 and they are removed. I have tested it several times and am sure they are gone on both. Did the entries not get removed from your system when you tested the script?
While the uninstaller seems to auto detect the bit type and removes the registry entries on both my systems. If this does not work for everyone it would be very easy to have the script write one uninstaller for 64bit and one for 32bit if things are not uninstalling correctly. BTW what operating systems are you testing the script on Oz?

I am testing on win7 32 bit, win 7 64 bit, and win xp 32 bit.
I couldn't test the install/uninstall beacuse it has always auto-sensed so I didn't need to use the modified script. I was just looking at the code and figured if you had to specify during the install you'll have to specify during the uninstall.
Turns out the rewrite I did actually worked; something is wrong with the map that was compiled. I tested it on old files and it worked. I'll post it here when I get home from work for opinions.
alright; this appears to work so I've loaded it over the old nsi file.

Hi Oz
Just thought I would let ya know I finally had time to tested the new script In Win7 64bit and windows XP 32 bit and it worked fine on both. :)

OZ, on Mar. 11-12 I posted in the map making support forum, under install problem, some ideas I had that may clarify the entries. You might want to looksee and see if you think any of it would clarify things for "dummies"
LINK (http://forums.gpsfiledepot.com/index.php/topic,1056.0.html)
Yea, I'm on vacation right now so I'll look when I return in about 4 days.
Some of the entries you suggested removing are needed for the more advanced maps but I will probably add a lot of the comments.
