Blitz Installer

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Blitz Installer

I need a installer system, that can work with Blitz. I tried using Inno Setup Compiler, but that doesn't seem to work with Blitz, and Nullsoft seems to work ok, but I don't want to use a coding installer, so are there any other free installer thingys that work with Blitz3D or BlitzPlus? thnxs

Inno setup works, but you have to make a few changes to the script. After the [Icons] tag, put...
 WorkingDir: "{app}";

..at the end of the any line defining your executable (for start menu, desktop etc..)

Example...
[Icons]
Name: "{group}\MyApp"; Filename: "{app}\MyApp.exe"; WorkingDir: "{app}";
Name: "{group}\{cm:ProgramOnTheWeb,MyApp}"; Filename: "{app}\MyApp.url"
Name: "{group}\{cm:UninstallProgram,MyApp}"; Filename: "{uninstallexe}"
Name: "{userdesktop}\MyApp"; Filename: "{app}\MyApp.exe"; WorkingDir: "{app}"; Tasks: desktopicon
Name: "{userappdata}\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\MyApp"; Filename: "{app}\MyApp.exe"; WorkingDir: "{app}"; Tasks: quicklaunchicon


like Cicero said - Innosetup works fine once you've got the WorkigDir: param down. If you don't use that, your app won't be able to find any of its assets.

It's a while since I played with Innosetup but it worked fine here to !

Yeah, using Inno Setup the game will work if you use the exe created but if you use any of the shortcuts to it created by the installer it'll crash since it can't find its assists. Cicero has pretty much told you how to fix it but if you want the site anyway its here

By the way does anybody know of any good, professional software that can be used to create patches?
