Sample installer for Codejock components runtime

My window with the codejock components is ready for beta testing. I now needed to make an installer for the runtime version of the components. Some weeks ago I came across NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).

In less than an hour I was able to create an installer with it.
I've attached a simple nsis source. It expects the runtime version of the components, found in cab files in %Program Files%\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v11.1.0\bin\Redist, to be extracted to a subdirectory Components.

There is an Eclipse plug-in for NSIS developent.

I've added an extra installer source, oeshort.nsi, to the attachment.

  • It detects the installed Progress/OpenEdge versions
  • Prompts the user to select one
  • Creates a shortcut to prowin32.exe for the selected version

Re: NSIS for Codejock

Hi Carl,

NSIS sure is very nice. John is using it too for the Proparse installer. I use it for the Prolint installer (but I am still using an old version of NSIS so I don't have to change the script).

But hey, where's that attachment you talk about?? ;-)
