Hi Dimitrios, I have experience with NSIS and Flash in the past. The greatest asset at your disposal is reading the NSIS docs to wrap your head around a language that is far from AS2. To me, it looked/felt like VB or Assembly. The other great asset is the Nullsoft forums which chances are someone else has probably asked the same question and there already is an answer.
Here is an excerpt of a bigger script where upon start up, it will check if they have the player installed when they try to install the desktop app.... Function .onInit Push $R0 ClearErrors ReadRegStr $R0 HKCR "CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}" "" IfErrors flash_NOT_installed ; Skip to 'flash_installed' label Goto flash_installed flash_NOT_installed: ; Prompt User To Install Flash Plugin MessageBox MB_ICONINFORMATION|MB_OK "This program requires the Adobe Flash Player. Before using $(^Name), please download and install the latest version at http://www.adobe.com" flash_installed: FunctionEnd Good luck! -mL knowledge.lapasa.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dimitrios Bendilas Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 5:59 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [FlashCoders] Flash player NSIS installation Hello John, Thanks for your reply. NSIS is the NullSoft installer. This is for web distribution. I just needed a way to detect if the user has the latest Flash Player installed and if not he would be taken to the adobe site to download. I just didn't have a clue about how NSIS works and I thought someone here may have used it for the same purpose I have. I'll probably find a programmer experienced in NSIS to help me. Searching for NSIS forums again.
