Wherever I go and ask people what is missing from their lives, the most common answer (if they are not impoverished or seriously ill) is "community." What happened to community, and why dont we have it any more? There are many reasons the layout of suburbia, the disappearance of public space, the automobile and the television, the high mobility of people and jobs and, if you trace the "whys" a few levels down, they all implicate the money system.

Disclaimer

I am not particularly experienced with NSIS. I don't fully understand InstallOptions, the System plugin, or the Modern Interface. I needed an installer for a Palm application, and I could find no such existing NSIS example, so after hacking up an installer myself, I wrote an example based on what I did. It's probably not the most elegant, and it may not even be entirely correct. But it works.

If you find a mistake, find a better way of doing something, or add functionality that others might find useful, send me comments so that I can improve this example

The Script

<highlight-nsis>

DESCRIPTION
Example Installer for simple (i.e. no conduit program) Palm applications
AUTHOR
Gus Scheidt
EMAIL
ellocogato <AT> gmail <DOT> com
REQUIRES
- The InstAide and UserData DLLs from the Palm Conduit Development Kit
(copy to the same directory as the .nsi file)
- Originally compiled with NSIS v2.11
This script supports installation of one or more files (PRC,PDB) to a Palm OS
handheld's internal memory plus one or more files to a memory slot (internal
expansion or external flash memory card). It does not demonstrate installation
of any kind of conduit. It does not demonstrate the ability to install for
multiple Palm Users at once.
If you don't need to install any files to a memory slot, then you won't need the
following
- The "Page custom ShowSlotList" line
- The ShowSlotList function
- The ShowSlotList.ini file
- The GetPalmSlotList function
- The CheckSlotMgrSupport function
- The "INSTALL FILES TO EXPANSION MEMORY" section of the InstallFiles function
- The second half of the RemoveInstallFiles function
Script loosely based on the MUI Basic Example Script Written by Joost Verburg
