Title: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on December 21, 2007, 04:25:52 PM +0000 It's proved rather more complicated than I was expecting but I've been able to produce a very generic set of scripts for producing installers with NSIS (used by WinAmp among other things).
These scripts combine the best features of those I've used to produce the UKGTR skin and ballast pack, and the various track installers I've churned out over the past few months. They allow an installer to be written very quickly and easily for any mod for GTR2 or GTL. You can download the scripts from this link (https://www.simracing.org.uk/downloads/SRou%20Installer%20Scripts.zip). I'm expecting anyone planning to use it to be prepared to use some initiative - this is one of the simplest bits of testing and preparing a mod for league use so if it's too much for you you probably shouldn't be doing this type of work. :P :D I'm hoping we can use these scripts to provide a common installation/uninstallation mechanism for all future SRou mods, at least for GTR2 and GTL, and gradually phase the use of ModMan for GTL stuff out as that seems to have become abandonware. :-( Title: Re: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on June 28, 2008, 10:38:41 AM +0100 Scripts updated to fix a problem with leaving old uninstaller strings in the registry, and to add Race '07 skin support.
Title: Re: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on July 07, 2008, 10:09:33 AM +0100 Scripts updated again to allow removal of HAT files when a track is upgraded, and also to allow the explicit uninstallation of other things.
Title: Re: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on September 10, 2008, 08:52:55 PM +0100 Scripts updated to fix two problems
Title: Re: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on May 24, 2009, 10:17:56 AM +0100 Minor update to allow uninstallation of old installs with their registry information in the wrong place. I don't think we still have any of these.
Title: Re: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on February 04, 2010, 04:33:18 PM +0000 Updated again with two changes:
Title: Re: Installer scripts Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on September 19, 2010, 11:58:37 AM +0100 Updated to add up to date Race '07 handling, and support for installers that expect other installers to be present.
