I want to write an install script
I am using NSIS and want to create an install script for the following files:
Odd.vbs
TFP.vbs
I want it to install TFP.vbs on c:\drive and run Odd.vbs on installation.
Odd.vbs
TFP.vbs
I want it to install TFP.vbs on c:\drive and run Odd.vbs on installation.
Easiest way to do it is to load a template NSIS script, see how it works, and remove the stuff you don't need and edit the rest.
If you can write all the info about the install specifically (ie Installation Title, exe name, everything else you read in an installer, I can write something up for you)

Exe name - TFP
Installations title?
containing a batch file that runs odd.vbs and locates 1234.vbs on c:drive of users computer.
thats about it.

Well here's a start:
In capitals between quote marks is information for you to enter - then save the text via notepad.exe as a *.nsi file. Place the .nsi file in the same directory as the two .vbs files and run the NSIS installer maker thing and it should create a setup.exe file based on the code below.
Let me know how it goes or if there are any bugs or you need other help.

Would this install the 1234.vbs on C:drive?
No - not at the moment (I haven't written it into it).
Currently - the installer creates the following on a users computer:
C:\Program Files\YOUR PROGRAM\TFP.vbs
C:\Program Files\YOUR PROGRAM\Odd.vbs
C:\Program Files\YOUR PROGRAM\Uninstall.exe
I'm sensing English might not be your first language - so I'm still trying to get my head around what you want exactly - doesn't seem to be the normal installer. Maybe if you tell me what you want to do overall - there might be a better solution than NSIS. Can you tell me what the .vbs are for and why you want them in the root of C: (which is usually bad practice)?

Ok, I have two VBS files that I want to install. One of the VBS files has a shortcut to the other (odd.vsb installs a shortcut to 1234.vbs because I want that to run after the user carries out a task contained in a text file called instructions.txt that odd.vbs installs).
I just want to install and run odd.vbs but have 1234.vbs placed somewhere where the shortcut can refer to it - it doesn't have to be C:drive but that seemed the most logical place but if theres a better option I am open to suggestions

Ok - try this
It does the same thing as the last one - but also extracts the 1234.vbs file to C:\Program Files\YOUR PROGRAM\1234.vbs
At the end it asks the user if they want to run the script (Odd.vbs)

odd.vbs creates a folder in my docs which contains an excel file called names, a text file called instructions and a shortcut to 1234.vbs
The user enters names in the excel file, clicks on the shortcut and 1234.vbs creates another folder in My docs with a series of folders inside that based on the names entered in names.xls

Thanks
I'm just thinking wouldn't it be easier to include the odd.vbs functions within the NSIS script?
ie
When the user runs setup exe:
--> The names.xls, instructions.txt and 1234.vbs files are extracted to their Docs folder (no need for shortcut to 1234.vbs - just use the actual file)
--> TFP.vbs extracted to C:\Program Files\xxx\ or wherever else you want

if you want to upload a zip file somewhere containing all these files - I might be able to create the whole setup.exe for you quickly before I have to go

Hang on, I might have traces of a theme pack left in that script (which you obviously don't have installed). If you could upload that .zip file with everything you need in it, that would be great - then I can do all the testing here before posting

what if I upload as text files - is that ok?

Ok give this a shot.
What I've done is bypassed the odd.vbs file (just put its functions into the NSIS installer).
The NSIS installer does the following:
Creates a TFP folder in the users My Documents folder (assuming they don't change the default install path)
Copies the following files into the TFP folder in My Docs:
Create Folders.vbs (formerly known as 1234.vbs)
Names.xls
Instructions.txt
Opens the xls and txt files
Below is the NSIS code as of now and the installer file (change extension from .txt to .exe)
I've also included the theme pack for the installer - simply extract the folder to C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib (this only needs to be on your PC that has NSIS). Available from here - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/%22Orange_Vista%22_Modern_UI_Theme
You will also need the MUI.nsh file in the same folder as any of your NSIS scripts when creating the setup.exe (also attached - change extension to .nsh)
I did some quick testing of it and did find one possible bug. On my system - I don't have Documents on the C drive - I have G:\Users\me\Documents. The NSIS installer copies the files to the G drive - but your scripts try to use files located in C:\Users\me\Documents\TFP instead of G:
I haven't worried about changing the script code in case you don't use alternate script paths - but if you want to fix the scripts andsend them again I can easily recreate the stuff for you.

Thank you for your help so far. Really appreciated.
Well instead of creating the excel file (which previously had a fair bit of code and then Excel always said there was a file type mismatch), I just resaved the created excel file in the right type and put it in with the rest of the files - so yes you will need it there.
I wouldn't even worry about the warning. It just means that there is the option for an uninstallation - but I haven't actually told it anywhere to create an uninstaller (as one doesn't really seem necessary for this). The installer will still work fine - I've tested it.
Is that everything then? I'll be out just about all day but in the late afternoon I'll be able to fix up any loose ends if there are any.

Only one thing. Would it be possible to have the TFP folder in My Docs open on install rather than having the names. xls file open because it would be confusing for the user. If the TFP folder opens all the files (instructions.txt, names.xls and the Make Folders.vbs are all there so the user just needs to follow the instructions.txt).

Great work - thank you.

just required a change to the line "explorer.exe /n - deleted that part and it worked a treat.
Ah that's great - glad you've got it all sorted. NSIS is great once you've worked it out. If you want to know what any part of the above script does - feel free to ask, otherwise I'd recommend checking out the Tutorial page I linked to above or use the offline help system included to learn the basics - well worth it.
