It occurred to me that it should be quite easy to make an installer that would install the version 2.4 of Denemo for Windows that is only available as a zip file. That would be more comfortable for novice users. I came up with this script for the nsis installer creation program:
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8>< !include "MUI.nsh" !define MUI_ABORTWARNING !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" Name "Denemo" OutFile "DenemoInstaller.exe" InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\Denemo" ShowInstDetails show RequestExecutionLevel admin Section SetOutPath $INSTDIR File /r denemo\* CreateShortcut "$SMPROGRAMS\Denemo.lnk" "$INSTDIR\Denemo.bat" CreateShortcut "$DESKTOP\Denemo.lnk" "$INSTDIR\Denemo.bat" SectionEnd 8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8>< Using that I got this installer http://www.denemo.org/~rshann/Denemo2.4Installer.exe I've tested this on an old Windows vista laptop (all I have access to) and it does install Denemo correctly. However, the script is intended to create a shortcut in the start menu and one on the Desktop to launch the program and these don't appear. 1) Could people with more modern Windows gear test that it works? 2) Could someone suggest why the links don't appear? Thanks in advance! Richard
