[Solved] Internal compiler error #12345 (2GB Installer Limit)

Submitted by Jeff Savage on September 3, 2016 - 1:31am

I'm getting the following error:
Internal compiler error #12345: error mmapping datablock to 30661948.
Note: you may have one or two (large) stale temporary file(s) left in your temporary directory (Generally this only happens on Windows 9x).

I'm on Windows 10 so this shouldn't be an issue? I cleared my %temp% folder and it didnt help.

Running x86 apps on x64

I made a portable of Firefox that contains both the x86 app files and x64 app files. They are in separate folders, Firefox and Firefox64 respectively.

I added a menu to the installer that allows the user to select Firefox x86 and/or x64. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and if I choose to only install the x86 version, the portable doesn't launch because the Launcher is looking for the x64 version of Firefox.

How to avoid copying big files to system / folders spoofing

Submitted by geoslake on August 24, 2016 - 1:55pm

Hi guys

i have an app that relies on a huge dll (60mb) located in the "common files" folder.
I know how to create an Nsis launcher which copies this dll, but its not really an option with such big file size.
Is there an Nsis command for the launcher, that would fool the exe into thinking the dll is in the expected common folder, while being somewhere else ?

Thank you

[Fixed] PA.c Installer 3.4 won't update PAF version

Submitted by mwayne on August 20, 2016 - 10:20pm

When switching from PAF 3.0 to 3.2 I noticed it changed the version in the appinfo.ini too. Now from 3.2/3.3 to 3.4 it won't change it. But it works from 3.0 to 3.4. It's because of line 482 in the InstallerWizard.nsi. I think the installer should always keep the PAF version accordingly to the one it's packaged with. Can we change it to $1 <="3.0" or just adding the missing versions.

While reviewing the setup of DownloadURL2 in the PA.c Format document, I noted we had added DownloadKnockURL a couple revisions ago. I'm unsure what this would be used for, can someone expand on how this entry is supposed to be used?

Height of menu adjustable? Cascading categories?

Submitted by BeaBonobo on August 8, 2016 - 8:28am

Ciao

Love this software. Its simplified my life like no other. Brilliant, minimalist, elegant design. Superb flexibility.

Two long term things that interest me....

(1) Whether the HEIGHT of the menu could be made adjustable so I can see more easily without scrolling all my favorites & category folders.

(2) Possibly CASCADING MENU system so that, for instance, under the category "tools" I can have sub-categories for "disk", "setup", "uninstall" etc.

Best wishes
