How to modify NSIS settings? about fbs-tutorial HOT 12 CLOSED

I think you need to place it in src/installer/windows/Installer.nsi. See the built-in one in fbs's source directory in fbs/_defaults.

You thought correctly! Thanks for the additional hint on the _defaults folder to look up the structure, I did not know about that one yet.

@abood91 sorry this is beyond the scope of my support. It's an NSIS question. I'd recommend you ask on StackOverflow.

Hi Fredrik, good question. Right now, the necessary file Setup.nsi is contained in fbs and so "can't" be modified. My gut feeling would be to move it out of fbs and into fbs-tutorial, say at src/main/Installer.nsi. What do you think?

from fbs-tutorial.

Sure. I don't have a preference of exact location (other than easily being able to modify it) so I think that sounds good.

from fbs-tutorial.

Okay. I updated the tutorial and fbs now. You can customize the default install location by changing $PROGRAMFILES to $PROGRAMFILES64 in Installer.nsi.

Very nice, thank you! :)

from fbs-tutorial.

My pleasure!

So, I tried to implement that technique, but a custom installer.nsi placed in src/main was ignored by fbs installer and the default one was generated. I then tried to follow the tutorial, I accidentally followed the blob link here and then reached the outdated readme.md, which lead to issue #49 .
The latest tutorial does not seem to cover any custom nsi files anymore.
Long story short: Is it still possible to implement a custom installer.nsi (if so, how?), or is that a thing of the past?

Hi @mherrmann Is it possible to provide example on how can use the src/installer/windows/Installer.nsi and provide AceesControl modification ?, I am after changing file permissions in resource directory, as my app can read but not write to that file

from fbs-tutorial.

@mherrmann Is there a possibility to sign the uninstaller as well ? I think this should be part of the implementation of the sign_installer function ?

from fbs-tutorial.

@abood91 You're right. The uninstaller probably should be signed by sign_installer.
