Beta 2 Bug: Package Project fails

by Jason Parker · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/22/2009 (12:55 am) · 3 replies

Package Project worked in Beta 1.
It fails in Beta 2.

Line 53 in the install.nsi script is cited, but is not the problem!

The path set in line 31 reads:
!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP "C:TorqueTorque 3D 2009 Beta 1Enginebintoolsnsisscriptstemplatespanel.bmp"

The line should read:
!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP "C:TorqueTorque 3D 2009 Beta 2Enginebintoolsnsisscriptstemplatespanel.bmp"

I spent an hour searching for where in the process this path is set, so that I might change it. I haven't found it and am guessing this is probably something set in the source for the staging process.

To work around this problem until a fix is available, you can:
  1. Click Package Project -> Click Build. Wait for the error and close the packaging windows.
  2. Manually open .Torque 3D 2009 Beta 2PackagingStaging(project name)install.nsi and edit line 31 as mentioned above.
  3. Browse to .Torque 3D 2009 Beta 2Enginebintoolsnsisapp and execute makensisw.exe
  4. Select File -> Load Script and browse to and select the install.nsi file you edited.
  5. Your installer will be created in the output path you selected in Package Project.

And in editing the above post, I've found a forum bug. Backslash characters disappear from your post when you click Edit...

If you click Edit -> Clear Settings that should fix that, it's storing the values from the previous Beta.

Ah, so this is a value in the registry then? Good to know.
