aah, another release i had not noticed. the last one i looked at was a binary available only from the winamp forums. http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/#download yes i am definately talking about NSIS2 the one with the new GUI (although there is apparenlty an unofficial 1.99 release). I had not noticed that the NSIS development is now on Sourceforge http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ > Looks like a complete rewrite of the installer is necessary for this, my > first attempt to I was under the impresion that most installer scripts do not need rewritten to handle the upgrade. Anything in particular that makes this script not upgrade cleanly? I really dont like that the Dia is wrapped in a Dos Script but have been unable to figure out what and where in the registry you could set the necessary %HOME% or equivalent. I still think that if they dont have a home dir you should fall back to %windir%, if it is good enough for Sun Microsystems (various java programs dump .settings/ in windir), Abiword, theKompany.com (some of their programs with windows ports, i tried most of them). I cant remember what the gimp does, i should check ... And i should submit a patch. > upgrade the existing file failed.
