Talk:Why do I get NSIS Error?

Bold textWhat does it mean when it says "It may be possible to skip this check using the NCRC -- it means that if you run the installer as install.exe /NCRC that it will bypass the check for corruption.

NSIS error and NO real solution!!

What a pity that nobody wants to realy get rid of that big issiue! It's a nuisance and lots of people to whom I recommended OO2 called me and said they are also not able to install OO2. So they switched back to MS-Office. Is it that difficult to give a clear work around?

The instruction read like the MS knowledge base. NOT real knowledge! Just try. If you're lucky it'l work. grrrrrrrr

How about asking for help, like this guy? I don't recall seeing you on the forums with details that say "I want a solution" instead of "I want to complain". --kichik 04:37, 30 July 2006 (PDT)

NSIS Error Fix

I had the NSIS error ever since I downloaded IE7. I had the Google toolbar with IE6 but it didn't come through on IE7. I reinstalled Google toolbar from this link http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp as well as installed the latest version of JAVA for Windows/online. The error is gone!!!

Another problem

This error appears to me when I open a web link. It happens in different sites (eg. ebay). What can i do?

Follow the instructions on the page. You probably have malware. For further assistance, use the forum. The comment pages are not a good place for questions. --kichik 13:40, 9 March 2007 (PST)

problems installing English software on non English

I notice several English programs (second life, EFF TOR package) won't install on my Japanese Windows, a dialog comes up that simply says NSIS error.

And no, I will not go to the forum, I will use other software. Please stop giving people who want to use your software the annoying run around - get it together.

Well, that's too bad. they simply can't help help you without any details. --kichik 03:13, 27 September 2007 (PDT)

Problem when installer is in folder with cyrillic characters

I got the NSIS error when trying to run the installer for some software (notepad++, 7zip). The files had been downloaded by a localized version of Firefox 3.5 to the default download directory. The directory name contained cyrillic characters. Example:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Преземања

Moving the installer files to a directory containing only ASCII characters helped and I was able to perform the install. This issue looks to be connected to the above (Japanese OS) and seems like a problem with the handling of unicode characters.

This one worked for me. I've copyed files i want to instal from C:\Documents and Settings\xXx\My Documents\Descărcări - Descãrcãri=Downloads - to my desktop and run the installer. it worked for me !

NSIS error: for executable files

I was trying to install programs like bitorrent, emule etc. but all failed bcos of nsis error.I have installed norton internet security in my computer. I disable it then again i tried all failed.but i can install the same files to install from network in my computer. ie executable file in another computer and then try to install from there. Its working fine. when i copy to my computer i cannot install it. I tried all the way as u told. still i couldnot solve the problm.I even installed new nsis version 2.3. but failed. Please give me an answer for me.

Seems like a failing hard drive. Use the forum for further help. The comments section isn't the best place to ask questions. --kichik 10:19, 27 November 2007 (PST)

Drag the installer into the black console window

In Windows Vista impossible drag the installer into the black console window.

It may be the router problem.

I had this problem for over two months. Any downloaded file, either "file is corrupt" or "NSIS_Error". I cannot update my any virus database or my windows OS. But after I changed the router, all problems were gone.

Error launching installer

NSIS Installer/Uninstaller will raise this error whenever you will launch the installer/uninstaller from an forbidden location (such as C:\, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, etc).

This is an constraint set on initialization phase of installer/uninstaller and it will always check for this rule. It make sense while you might have a RMDir/Delete instruction in your install/uninstall sections that will harm your system irreversibly.

Just make sure you run this software from a valid location and the installer/uninstaller will load into memory (and run just fine.
