NIS - Nullsoft Installation System

Hi guys,

i've got a little problem with the NIS Scripts :)

First of all. Yes I want to use NIS!
NIS is quite amazing and I like that installer. And, best of it. It is free and so I can publish the software without bying an installer.
And there are also many functions I can't find in other installers (I've tried already WISE and MSI)

Ok, lets talk about the problem..

In the Doc there are subsections explained.

Section MainProgram SecMain
SubSection SubProgram SecSub
SubSectionEnd
SectionEnd

ok, problem is, compiler returns an error..
here is the error:

Section: "VB Runtime Files" ->(SecRuntime)
File: "License.txt" 836 bytes
SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR"
SectionEnd
SubSection Server ->(SecServer2)
SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR"
Error: Can't add entry, no section or function is open!
Error in script "Y:\Release\NIS\Eval_IT.nsi" on line 90 -- aborting creation process

cheers Meph

ok i did it now.
You don't really need subsections, and so i went on with the docs to find out how to register the Visual Basic runtime dlls and ocx.
I am currently testing, but it seems like it's gonna work.

ok i've found what i needed now..

and maybe someone else wants to use NIS too.. so here a quick collection of the links that apply to VB and NIS

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/viewpage.php?pageid=47 <- FAQ how to pack VB runtimes
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/nsisweb.php?page=182&instances=0,8 <- A good tool to create Setup scripts based on the output of the Package and Deployment Wizard
