I do not have custom types on this maps set , but one of the mapsets I want to make an installer for has custom types. Do you do any thing different for that set?
Thanks
jbensman: Your issue (line 29) appears to be with defining the exe file so its these two lines:
!define DIRECTORY "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\mapinstall\"
!define EXE_FILE "${DIRECTORY}map_install.exe"
You need to make sure the directory exists and has the ending \ and then the .exe file above makes sense.
Now for custom types you do have to do things a little different.
If you open the .nsi file in something that will let you view line numbers (I use notepad++ its free and great) you need to delete the ; on line 15 and make that equal to your custom type file. Then on line 108 remove the semicolon. On line 118 remove the semicolon.
That will include the custom type with the installer.
Mine is 164x314.
I got that size by looking at one of their samples.
I am getting ready to try the make a setup file. Can I get a copy of icon, image, license, readme and msg. Thanks.
I've attached the icon I use, the image I use, and the license I use. I don't use a readme (although maybe I should to cover some FAQs). And msg?
