I write a wraparound NSIS installer for my OpenOffice.org Productivity Suite.
my installer has a problem with your installer:
I use the NSIS command ExecWait to execute your installer. on every program in
existence except OOo's pieces it does what it should: NSIS waits until the
program in question is finished installing before it goes on to the next line of
code.
OOo seems to be spawning new processes and then killing off the parent. it used
to be I could simply do a waitjob on setup.exe until setup.exe finished, and
then I would be good to go.
but all of them (lang pack, sdk, OOo, old URE, etc) just blast straight through
and the setup has not finished, so now I have several OpenOffice.org installers
running simultaneously, and clipart installing. a real mess and a big system
load and it's a memory hog.
please make the installers a single-process, single-tasking wonder and solve
this problem so that ExecWait on OOo or one of its parts like langpack will
truly wait until the setup for that component is truly finished.
stripped down version of my NSIS code:
SectionGroup "Office"
Section "OpenOffice.org ${OFFICE_VERSION}" Sec_ooo
ExecWait "$EXEDIR\OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe" $EXIT_CODE
;;wait until setup.exe appears
;!insertmacro ExecWaitJob "setup.exe"
;; let's hope they never press cancel or we're in for an infinite loop!
SectionEnd
Section "OOo Language Pack ${OFFICE_VERSION}" Sec_ooolang
ExecWait "$EXEDIR\OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_langpack_en-US.exe"
;;wait until setup.exe appears
;!insertmacro ExecWaitJob "setup.exe"
;; let's hope they never press cancel or we're in for an infinite loop!
SectionEnd
Section "OpenClipart 2.0 (recommended)" Sec_openclipart
ExecWait '$EXEDIR\clipart.exe x -y -o"$PROGRAMFILES\Open Clip Art
Library\$\"'
SectionEnd
SectionGroup "Developer Tools/SDK's"
Section "OpenOffice.org SDK ${OFFICE_VERSION}" Sec_sdk
ExecWait '$EXEDIR\OOo-SDK_3.2.1_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe'
;;wait until setup.exe appears
;!insertmacro ExecWaitJob "setup.exe"
;; let's hope they never press cancel or we're in for an infinite loop!
SectionEnd
SectionGroupEnd
SectionGroupEnd
The ExecWaitJob used to work at one time, then it didn't work anymore. it was a
hassle, and was prone to infinite loops (hangs).
