#456 NSIS test/extract fails with data error in uninst.exe.nsis
I use 7-Zip to test/verify NSIS installation packages. This works correctly with 7-Zip 19.00 but fails with 7-Zip 22.01, which reports "Data error : uninst.exe.nsis". The same error occurs for any installation package that I've built since approximately January 2022 and contains an uninstaller.
I can try different 7-Zip versions to identify exactly when this broke. Maybe it is 21.02 because the change history mentions NSIS.
It could also be related to a specific NSIS version (most likely 3.08) or a specific change to my installation script (which I will check).
There was similar ticket or forum message about problem with new nsis.
I suppose I've fixed the problem for next version of 7-Zip.
So just wait that new version of 7-zip to test it again.
Okay. Thanks.
7-Zip 21.02 and 21.04 work correctly, but 21.06 fails.
This appears to be fixed in 23.00 beta. The file name is now reported as "uninst.exe" rather than "uninst.exe.nsis", and it tests correctly. Its size is reported as zero bytes, but maybe that is expected.
