[sword-devel] BibleCS Installer

[Lynn Allan]

Troy,

I've used the NSIS installer a fair amount, although with "native 1.x"
scripting rather than with Eclipse. I was able to get setup.nsi to
compile and run, and wanted to check if you have resolved your
questions before looking closer.

InstallManager.exe

NSIS has the .onInstSuccess standard routine that may help. You may
want to invoke InstallManager.exe with this (below code also
illustrates dealing with SWORD_PATH environment variable):

Function .onInstSuccess
  ClearErrors
  ReadEnvStr $R0 SWORD_PATH
  MessageBox MB_OK "LcdBible ver ${VERSION_DISPLAY} (${DATE_DISPLAY})
\
  $\r$\nMini Tutorial for new users: \
  $\r$\n1. *********** LcdBible info goes here *******************. \
  $\r$\nFeedback appreciated: LcdBible_at_yahoogroups.com \
  $\r$\nSWORD_PATH should be set. Currently = $R0 \
  $\r$\n \
  $\r$\nLcdBible will start as soon as you click on the 'OK' button.\
  $\r$\nEnjoy! LcdBible is 'freeware' (no charge)"
  Exec $INSTDIR\LcdBible.exe
FunctionEnd

Are these still unresolved? I can perhaps help ... also, there is an
extraordinarily active and helpful NSIS installer forum that I've
found incredibly valuable.
