Hello
Im trying to make game portable and i need some help.
To make it work i need some kind och batch or nsis script that edits a certain file called Hospital.Cfg
The contents of the file:
INSTALL_PATH=[the path to where the game and file is located]
INSTALL_TYPE=MAX
LANGUAGE=ENG
The thing i need the script to do is to when it's run it changes the INSTALL_PATH value to the current location. This way the game can be run from anywhere.
Someone know how to do this?
I guess you've already tested this, but just in case, did you tried with a relative path?
If that's not working, please try to describe a little bit what's the directory structure of the game and where is that cfg file placed.
an INI file...
Try something like
WriteINIStr "$EXEDIR\Hosptial.cfg" "" "INSTALL_PATH" "$EXEDIR"
Tell us if it works.

Person 2: What?
Person 1: I can't remember, I've forgotten.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's not possible to write to an INI file with no section heading using WriteINIStr.
I'd rather use this macro from the TextFunc.nsh include
${ConfigWrite} "$EXEDIR\Hospital.cfg" "INSTALL_PATH=" "$EXEDIR" $R0
I didn't think my code would work, but t'was just putting it out there.
