Could you point how to correctly script to make nullsoft scriptable installer consider the subfolders?

The /r parameter on the File command will recurse into all subfolders. So this install section should do it:

section "install"
  SetOutPath $INSTDIR
  File /r Bibliesp
sectionEnd

Select allOpen in new window

Hi

I don't know if I did it correctly.

The script used:

  SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
  File /r "Main Program"
  FileWrite $R0 "Install directory is $INSTDIR. $\r$\n"
...

  InstallDir "C:\Bibliesp\"

Select allOpen in new window

The Nullsoft instalation folders:

The error I had:

Any other sugestion?

Here is the complete script
p3Biblioteca_FULL_v1.nsi

It says:

"Main Program" -> no files found.

In the file /r command you should specify the name of the root folder. For example, here's a small, working script that will install "root folder" and all of its subfolders:

InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\Test Installing Subfolders"
Name "Test Subfolders"
OutFile "Setup.exe"
section "install"
  SetOutPath $INSTDIR
  file /r "root folder"
sectionEnd

Select allOpen in new window

The above installer works — try it. It will create a Setup.exe that installs root folder and all its subfolders (and all files) in $PROGRAMFILES\Test Installing Subfolders (such as c:\Program Files (x86)\Test Installing Subfolders on a 64-bit system). Regards, Joe

Hi @Joe

I didn't intend you check all the script file, I attached it just in case any other information eventally had  beeing needed.

Following what you posted, I just made a minor change the instalation folder to:

File /r "c:\A_Instala_Biblioteca_V1\A_Instala_Biblioteca_FULL_V1\Bibliesp"

Select allOpen in new window

Install the package and the instalation is:


That attended my needs.
