NSIS help [Solved]

Submitted by Legace on June 6, 2008 - 3:50am

So, here is my problem. I have a following check box in my installer (nsDialog).
At the moment, the outcome of the checkbox is either 1 or 0 (checked or unchecked).
If the the outcome of $6 were 1 (checked), I need to to be "f".
If the outcome of $6 were 0 (unchecked), I need it to be "m".

Is this possible?

${NSD_CreateCheckbox} 0 70u 100% 10u "Use F"
Pop $Checkbox
....
${NSD_GetState} $Checkbox $6

--- If there is a solution to the problem above, great. But even better would be to have two radio buttons:
o use F
o use M

Skinned my portable apps

Submitted by dmiller40 on June 5, 2008 - 4:21pm

So i really enjoy my portable apps and i brag about it every chance I get! I even have a blog article about it on www.ihelpstupidpeople.com. Just today my buddy was browsing around and found the icons and the theme. He asked me if I could make him a different colored one. I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to do this but I thought I'd share how it turned out anyway.

Crashing portable apps (VMWare related)

Submitted by PollieXmas on June 4, 2008 - 4:37am

I've been having problems with TBP v2.0.0.14 and FFP3 RC1 crashing without it being used, i.e sitting idle in the background. Once they've crashed and sometimes even when they did not crash (not started yet since last reboot) they would not start again/at all. Sometimes when trying to restart them they just crash with the same unexpected error but other times they simply die quietly, i.e. the .exe just disappears from the task manager processes.

Once OOPv2.4 did not want to start either with an error missing one of the installed components.

When I realized DVD Styler was originally supposed to be released as a pre-release quite some time ago, I looked into the PortableApps page and found other unreleased pre-releases.

PortableApps installer:: Use current directory as default if drive not found?

Submitted by someoneabc on June 3, 2008 - 1:33pm

Is it possible for the installer to use the directory it's in (ie. the directory it was downloaded to) for the install directory if it doesn't find a PortableApps drive? This is what it use to do before (7-zip extractor) it got 'smart' (NSIS).

This shouldn't be too hard to implement, and it would help me tremendously.
