Help with Quick port template and RegRapper...

I've been testing with the QuickPortTemplate_v1.1 code but i always get an error with the Messagebox::show command here
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Section "Main"

;Check machine for local install and if found show a message box to choose what settings to use.
${registry::KeyExists} "${REGKEY}" $R0
StrCmp $R0 "0" 0 RunPortable
Messagebox::show "" "Local ${APPNAME} Installation Found..." "" " ${APPNAME} is currently Installed to the local machine.$\n Do you want to use your Portable Settings or the Local Settings?" "Portable Settings" "Local Settings" IDCANCEL
pop $0
StrCmp $0 "1" BackupLocal

I was using Portable NSIS and then found

HM NIS Edit(using nsis compiler's engine)
http://portablefreeware.com/?q=nsis&m=Search

they both gave me the same error

it says

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
!insertmacro: end of regisrty::KeyExists
StrCmp "$RO" "0", nonequal=RunPortable
Invalid Command: MessageBox::show
Error In Script "F:\QuickPortTemplate_1.1\QuickPortableTemplate\....etc location of script" error in script on line 68

What am I doin wrong?

I'm guessing since (since i dont now alot about code that the app is searching rootkey1(which is(HKEY_CURRENT_USER) for the devname.

If i delete all the other keys and leave one, it will work fine but im just making sure if i should delete keys like that but if i dont change any thing it will say this

I dont edit any code its the same as it was as i downloaded it, i change names or add names, decscriptions, versions, stuff like that you know since its a template but i dont fully understand code (yes im n00b dont hate) so im here to ask for help

So if anyone can tell me what im doin wrong it would help alot thanks!

OK, Here goes...

Quick-Port - If you unzipped the quickport zip without changing the folder structure, you will find a plugins folder. Within that folder you will find a MessageBox 0.93 zip. Copy the messagebox.dll to the ..\NSIS\Plugins folder. that will fix the problem with quickport.

As for Registry rapper. The regsearch.nsh include file is the problem. If you are using the 1.8 of Regrapper. I had changed the Include file for use with regrapper. To fix the probolem, open up the regsearch.nsh file found in ..\NSIS\Include with notepad, delete all text in it and copy the following code into the file:

!macro RegSearch rootKey searchWord
    ${registry::Open} "${rootKey}" "/K=1 /V=0 /S=0 /B=1 /N='${searchWord}'" $0
    StrCmp $0 -1 0 +1    
        ${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4
        StrCmp $4 '' +3
        StrCmp $4 'REG_KEY' 0 +2
        StrCpy $REGKEY "${rootKey}\$1\$2\$3"
        ${registry::Close}
        ${registry::Unload}
!macroend

Save the file and try to recompile that dshoudl fix the problem with regrapper.

Post back with any problems after trying this.

Sorry for your trouble.

well....

I tried what you said, with regrap and quick port. i have given up on quick port i compiled successfully butit didnt even launch the app. With regrap I changed the regsearch.nsh like you said and now it says at this area that regsearch is an invalid command(with all searches or only one like below . Idk what im doing wrong.Another Question is if I delete all but one regsearch like this

${RegSearch} ${ROOTKEY1} $DEVNAME
StrCmp $REGKEY "" 0 goBack

Will it still work? I have been(after successfully compiling it with it trimmed down to one "regsearch" like above) monitering the registry while running the portable app launcher and the app, it loads the registry file then deletes it after i close the app just like its supposed to?

Can you please post the

Can you please post the compiler errors you are getting from regsear.nsh, it shoudl come up during compile time?

As for delting registry search settings. these are there to use all of the search terms to find the location in the registry that houses the registry settings. It is there so you do not need to search the registry for the settings entreies, it will do it for you. If using only the developer name, which is what $devname in the command means, woprks for you then use it.

This program is suppose to be an simple utility to automatically deal witht he registry settings for the program sot he user does not have to. A imple tool. The quickport template is for those situation where you know exactly where the settings are located

AS for quickport what is the problem?

Regsearch

Just to get my thoughts straight, you have the RegSearch.nsh file int he \NSIS\Includes folder?

You also have a line labeled "!include "RegSearch.nsh" under the includes section in the .nsi script itself?

The only thing I no this error occurs is because the Regsearch.nsh function is not being included. Could you please post the whole output of the NSIS compiler. not the HM NSIS one the striaght NSIS one. You shoudl be able to download Protable NSIS from Portasoft if you needed. I can then see where the problem lies.

Thanks,

Try a older version of the registry plugin

Try a older version of the registry plugin.
I had similiar problems with the newest plugin (v3.0) but it compiled using the older v2.7

Download the latest Registry Plugin here
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Registry_plug-in

Older versions are in this thread

The reason there are problems...

with 3.0 is that the regsearch function and the regsitry commands used were originally created using the 2.7 or below plugin versions. I had stopped working on it for awhile after that and it has not been updated for the newer version. Really it has to do due with the variables for the different commands, such as registry::find now needs 5 variables and nbot four. THe registry plugin comes with a readme file, but unfortunately it is not very thorough, it does give all the commands and description, just not very readable. I usually read it twice or three times before I fully understand this.

I have been looking at trying to get time to update regrap and quickport with the newer version and finding a way to optimize the regsearch function further, but time of little freedom to me.

I am trying though. I will keep you updated on my progress.

again, sorry for the long break between updates.

ok, I am here...

sorry it took so long to get back to you on this.

The reason you are getting the error is due to the uniextracter.ico missing from the location on the .nsi file. by default nsis is going to be looking in the same folder as the .nsi file. so make sure that the ico file is located there and named exactly as it states in the script, and that should get rid of that error.

let me know what happens.

thx well i finally figured out that thas the icon was the problem. So it compiled after i fixed it! But after testing and searching the registry for new entrys i found that the apps that uniextract uses such as peid or unrar use the registy so i switched to Portable App Template since it handles more then one registry key i do use quick port for apps that use one key all the time. And also another thing that uniextract make as a log is unixtract.txt in the root of the c:\ drive so I took the AutoIt code and changed it now it seams it logs in the exedir or the directory of the exe u extracted, im still messing with that. Thx so much for all youre help.

;idea for quick port template 1.2 or 2.0:
one thing that would be cool to have is the use of ini ;---that would be pretty ;neat
or maybe the option to catch the registry use at the time the app uses it. Well these are just ideas thx agian!!!
