Help with PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh

I need some one or ones to take a look at some code...I have a lot of it commented as parts did not work. I keep getting errors that say :

!insertmacro expects 1+ parameters, got 0.
Usage: !insertmacro macroname [parms ...]
!include: error in script: "K:\PortableApps\UnicodeNSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\Util.nsh" on line 25
!include: error in script: "K:\PortableApps\UnicodeNSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\TextFunc.nsh" on line 60
Error in script "K:\PortableApps\PortableApps.comLauncher\Other\Source\PortableApps.comLauncher.nsi" on line 51 -- aborting creation process

Current code Posted on Pastebin

Thanks for any and all help!

Here is an example of what I

Here is an example of what I used for WinampLitePortable before:

Anyway I'm a bit confused how you could have:

Error in script "K:\PortableApps\PortableApps.comLauncher\Other\Source\PortableApps.comLauncher.nsi" on line 51 -- aborting creation process

if your compiling an installer ?

As well 'PortableApps.comInstaller' already includes TextFunc.nsh by default(not sure about Util.nsh or even what it is used for)!

Maybe paste bin the entire log next time !

I will look at your pastebin that was part of the error created

Pastebin error

This is the error report generated by the PA Launcher Generator

Pastebin Error log from PA Launcher Generator

this may be an issue with the generator I am going to reinstall it as I removed the custom file and still get the same error

First of all...

There is a difference in:
PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh = for the PortableApps.comInstaller
PortableApps.comLauncherCustom.nsh = for the PortableApps.comLauncher

Second:
The files you have the errors in .nsh files belonging to Unicode NSIS,
did you maybe corrupt them ?
I advise you to re-install Unicode NSIS Portable and PAL and try again.

OK I got the launch generator issue fixed BUT

I still can not get the custominstall.nsh to actually work, it does not perform any ogh tthe functions. I guess back to the manual

PortableApps.comInstallerCust

PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh is only used by the PortableApps.comInstaller.exe

For PAL you need to use PortableApps.comLauncherCustom.nsi

BTW: Do you have any issues

BTW: Do you have any issues with secondary launching of PAL ?

Does it actually launch at first 'SecondaryLaunch', and when it does do the 'SecondaryLaunch', does the first instance leave anything behind like registry keys or files on the local hdd.???

Doing It Wrong

You can't execute the Picasa installer. It requires admin rights. And it'll mess up quite a few things. You need to extract the files out. If you're unable to, then you need to settle for copying from a local install (which means it'll never be official) or find something that can extract the files out and is legal to redistribute.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Odd Installer

Yeah, Picasa is an odd installer. It's not 7-Zip extractable, unfortunately.

So I have discovered

I discovered that on day 2 this being my 5th day at working at it. Time to do some more research to see if this is even viable.

Some Ideas

I have some ideas on how to extract it out. It will require some custom code that I can do in Delphi. I'm a but busy on 2.0 for the rest of this month, but will have a look at it then.

Perhaps

I may have bit off more than I can chew?
