You just comment out the "!define Download" near the top and have zip files in place for it to snag. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/windows/dinstaller.nsi#L146 What I meant though is using NSIS's "File" to include the files rather than including a zip file with everything already included. If there is a directory dmd.windows.zip is made from we'd ideally just "File /r <path>" that directory and then we'd have a non-downloading installer that only includes the relevant portions, has a true Space Required amount, and would actually be smaller because NSIS can do LZMA compression. This would also fix the problem of ensuring the uninstall only removes files it installed itself (there are readymade solutions for this as long as you are using NSIS's built in file embedding). -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
