Hoooooooooooah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I figured it out! ![]() Here is what you need to do... 1. Copy intro to my documents/AppData/Local/Temp 2. Run zip2exe zip based installer generator 3. AEE Setup.exe will be located in my documents/AppData/Local/Temp (the same folder you copied the intro to) Check your email for the updated Modern.nsh |

Ok. I'll try, but I see that file test.txt is not present anymore in your script. I changed extension: "File BI_Intro_640x480.txt" to File BI_Intro_640x480.wmv because installer couldn't find file. Finally I've got !insertmacro: MUI_PAGE_FINISH !insertmacro: end of MUI_PAGE_FINISH !insertmacro: MUI_LANGUAGE !insertmacro: end of MUI_LANGUAGE Section: "Installer" SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR\bi\data\fmv\" File: "BI_Intro_640x480.wmv" 46846588 bytes Delete: "$INSTDIR\data\menu\Dump0000.m1v" Delete: "$INSTDIR\data\world\maps\base\map.rwm" Delete: "$INSTDIR\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\map.rwm" !insertmacro: MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN !insertmacro: end of MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN CreateDirectory: "$SMPROGRAMS\$StartMenuFolder" CreateShortCut expects 2-8 parameters, got 16.

I disabled it and installer runs. ;Create shortcuts ; CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\$StartMenuFolder" ;CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$StartMenuFolder\Play AEE.lnk" "$INSTDIR\RomeTW-BI.exe" "-show_err -mod:" "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\AEE.ico" "" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED "" \ ;CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\Ancient Empires Elysium.lnk" "$INSTDIR\RomeTW-BI.exe" "-show_err -mod:" "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\AEE.ico" "" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED "" \ ;"Use to launch MOD AEE" Edited by limes, Oct 25 2009, 04:43 PM.

BINGO. Intro is unpacked and placed in correct place. The only thing we need is SHORTCUT now :):). Thanks MAJ Pain. I copied/pasted Shortcut Section and Uninstaller Section from last good "Modern" script. So far Zip Based Installer runs. Installer will be created for 10 minutes. We'll see.

doh! I forgot to change .txt to .wmv before I sent it back to you lol. I used a text file to test it out. !include: error in script: "C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Contrib\zip2exe\Modern.nsh" on line 130 Error in script "C:\Users\limes\AppData\Local\Temp\zne1E20.tmp" on line 7 -- aborting creation process ;CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$StartMenuFolder\Play AEE.lnk" "$INSTDIR\RomeTW-BI.exe" "-show_err -mod:" "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\AEE.ico" "" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED "" \ Error was caused by an extra backslash at the end of that line lolI sent you the corrected file in your email

Yes. I made 150 installers this weekend. Every time sth was wrong. Nullsoft software install creator prepares it in 10 minutes. AEE install. process will last 5 minutes. Edited by limes, Oct 25 2009, 05:08 PM.

Ok. I must go. Only 4 hours of sleep left before I will go to work. Final info. So far: Installer generated 3 warnings 3 warnings: Name: specified multiple times, wasting space (C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Contrib\zip2exe\Modern.nsh:30) InstallDir: specified multiple times. wasting space (C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Contrib\zip2exe\Modern.nsh:39) Uninstaller script code found but WriteUninstaller never used - no uninstaller will be created. (source ZIP size was 644698118 bytes) Resume: BI_Intro is unpacked and installed - OK, Uninstaler wasn't created, Shortcut was created, but In shortcut: - path line is ok: ""E:\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -mod:" - "starting folder" (line below path line, i've got polish interface, so I can only translate polish line to english) is wrong: Should be - "E:\Activision\Rome - Total War" Is - "E:\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data\fmv" G'nite friends. We'll talk tomorrow. Edited by limes, Oct 25 2009, 05:24 PM.

(source ZIP size was 644698118 bytes) I took out the uninstaller because I do not have a list of AEE files... so I could not write delete commands. And really an uninstaller would be impractical. If the user wants to delete AEE the best way is to reinstall R:TW from scratch. The first 2 problems do not matter. You could delete those 2 commands from base.nsh if you really wanted to but it doesn't matter. The starting folder line should not matter, since the target line is a fully qualified path. |

Ok. As far as we don't need uninstaller and we can ignore minor problems (like duplicated names) - for sure we need shortcut which correct path line and starting position line, too. I try check relevant information before I post :). Wrong starting position line generates unknown error without any further information (at least in Vista). The game won't run.

@ limes Check your email I fixed it ![]() the trick is to use the setOutPath command just before the createShortCut command |

Success. Everything is ok with installer now. It installs files, but have to check how game works after installation. Sometimes Vista makes me crazy. Sometimes AEE works with -show_err command, sometimes not. Vista users. Remember. After installation you must reboot your machines. In other case you'll get CTD when end turn button is pressed.

I have emailed you a new script prompting the user to restart the computer. Anything to protect users and make it as dummy proof as possible
