Re: Windows Installer for CLISP

[Elliott S. <ell...@gm...>]

I found the error that was preventing the desktop shortcut from being
uninstalled. Apparently Windows doesn't give limited users access to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so it wouldn't delete the shortcut. I fixed the
problem by writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead.

Also, I managed to fix Add/Remove Programs so that it only shows CLISP
to the user who installed it if installed for the current user, and
for all users if installed for all users.

However, users can't uninstall the installations of other users, even
if they manually run the uninstaller themselves. This wasn't
intentional (although it may not be a bad thing)... I don't know if
this is an installer bug or a feature of NSIS, but either way I don't
think I'll bother to change it.

I added the list of modules installed to the descriptions of the base
and full linking sets. (I got the list using clisp -K base|full
--version, so it should be accurate for the package.)

I would still like to know the names of "J=C3=BCrgen Weber" and "J=C3=B6rg
H=C3=B6hle" if possible.

The new installer is again available at

And thanks again everyone for your support.
