Re: Installers

Yes, sometimes I got same issue even for my own msi installers
Kill all processes or services that relate to msi installer and then install the msi using a file context menu (right click and install).

GREAT, a thread for installers...how very quaint!

No, don´t create your own MSI. What we were talking about in past was free NSI installer that produces exe file installer. Yeah, it fits to this topic too

I have this ""Another Installation In Progress Please Complete Installation Before Continuing"
I have not visible!

Kill all processes or services that relate to msi installer

Any precision of that ? I see nothing process about msi in the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del)

Does the NSI prog transform a "cad.msi" in "cad.exe" ?

Pilou, I think you should have to look for "Windows installer" or something like that in the process manager.
Don´t bother with NSI (NSIS). It is not a program that can convert msi to exe. It is an application using that a developer can create his own installer and as a result he gets exe file. There are plenty of programs that help developers build MSI and EXE installers like InstallShield, Wise, NSIS, Tarma and many others. Simple say, if a developer creates an application that consist from more files and wants to allow a user to choose destination folder or setup other things it is suitable to create and installer for the application. I mentioned NSIS, because I use it and like it. NSIS installer uses NSI script language and script system. But these things relate to developers not users

Taron, maybe this discussion deserves its own thread?

Yes, Lemi, you are absolutely right! This makes an excellent thread, especially for me, actually!

I've downloaded the NSIS already and will have a closer look at it. Thus far it looks VERY promising!

Thank you
As you already know, feel free to ask me for anything..

Sweet, can't wait to get to it! This could become a pretty solid milestone for Verve!
