Could you recommend an Installer ?

I've used NSIS in windows 7 recently, what errors does it encounter when creating the exe?

Inno Setup is a pretty free installer

I'm facing a problem when generating an EXE installer under Win 7, NSIS - 2.46 it simply don't generates it at the same folder than XP does -  it's correctly generated in XP but that doesn't occurs at Win7.

Any  impediment at Win 7 to generate installer ? If so, any workaround ?

Any necessary configuration at NSIS ?

Does Win 7 generates it at a diffrente (and misterious) folder (I guess not) ?

By the way I'm going to see alternatives....

IF NSIS did generate the setup within /Program Files/ for example, that would be a reason you don't see it there in Win7. Windows has introduced file virtuallisation to protect system folders and files.

Writing to several folders, including /Program Files/, is redirected to the user profile into a "VirtualStore" folder.

You might find your generated setup within that folder.

You should be able to config NSIS (I don't use it, don't ask me where) in which folder it will generate a setup.exe, it's really a minimum requirement of a decent software to have a configuration of such paths, don't you think? So even I don't use NSIS, I'd be surprised, if you can't change that. If you find the option, perhaps let it point to C:\Users\Public, "Own Documents" or anywhere else all programs can write for sure.

Hello

I'm going to check it later.

Unfortunatelly the installer wasn´t created at the folder you've suggested.
It's really dificult to workaround this...

It would be in a subfolder of the Virtualstore.

I've taken a look at nsis tutorials and it all boils down to either an outfile command or ${OUTFILE} variable you can simply set to any path nsis shall generaate the installer.

So why don't you use that?

Bye, Olaf.

Since I could continue using NSIS -in some way  I prefer .
