Category: General Group: 2.0 Series Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Pike (smrank) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add better support for OriginalFilename file property Initial Comment: NSIS provides the VIAddVersionKey command for adding file properties, these properties are added to both the installer and the uninstaller. For most cases this is fine, the one exception is the OriginalFilename key which needs to be different between the installer and the uninstaller (e.g. setup.exe and uninstall.exe). My suggestion is to add a parameter-less VIAddOriginalFilename command which intelligently adds the OriginalFilename key based on the actual filenames used (as specified in OutFile and WriteUninstaller). p.s. Sorry, if it turns out there is a workaround for this, the only information I found was the following link which suggests there is no way to currently do this (other than having an entirely separate uninstaller script): http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=2290857 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Amir Szekely (kichik) Date: 2008-12-07 00:22 Message: The problem with this is that the information is added on compile-time and the both the installer and uninstaller share the same resources, so they can't have separate properties. Maybe something like the new icon code could be used here as well. We could generate two resource blocks and have the installer patch this part of the uninstaller as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373088&aid=2052958&group_id=22049 |
