Every time I want to install DeleD NuXporter I get an “error”. When the bar is like 2 or 3% away from being fully installed I get this screen.



What do I need to do so the program gets installed? Could it be because I run a Vista system?


PS: Hope this is not a double post. I could not find an answer to this using the search page on the forum.

Moved this to Plugins, as it's not a DeleD related question.

Tyvm, never thought of that.

Edit: Problem solved when trying to install it by running it as administrator. Now idee what that did to it both ok it works now I think and that is all that matters.

It's funny -- I use the Microsoft Installer, from Visual Studio 2005, to create that installer, so you'd think it should be Vista compatible. But, no, of course it doesn't actually ask about Administrator privileges -- the user has to figure that out himself. Blech!

I've checked the MSI and added the ALLUSERS=1 flag which should install it for each user - ignores Administrator or user rights. Just download it if you have privileges troubles.

Download Here

Not a problem. Glad to do something back for the forum,… after all the help you guys gave me.

Haven’t tried to install the new version now that it works. Maybe I should try just to find out if it works.

Tell me about it. I can't even get the XNA sample installers to work for me.

There is no run as admin option for me in Vista. Can't you just give me a zip with the plugin dll? Laughing

There should be. Right-click whatever it is, and select "run as administrator."
Ideally, you right-click on the command line window, run that as administrator, and then start the installer from there.
I updated the installer on the Google download page. Try that version.

That option is only there on .exe files, not msi or vsi files.

Thanks, I'll DL it when I get back in.

Right-click the "command line prompt" item in the all programs menu.
Select "run as administrator".
cd to the directory where the msi file is (typically c:\users\yourname\downloads)
Type the name of the msi file to start it.
It will now run with administrative privileges.

Or you can turn off Vista UAC, like all Microsoft employees seem to do...

1. Is it hard to manually include a manifest into the MSI?
2. If you include 'install' as part of the filename, does the automatic elevation to admin kick in? Or does that only work for executables? Or did that only work in early Vista versions?

(anyways, your installer is still more convenient than the one from MySQL, that includes a faulty manifest that you have to hand-patch to make it work... Laughing )

The real solution is to either rebuild the installer with Visual Studio 2008, or to write an installer using Wix.
If I only had some time, I'd be happy to do it... but the source code is open source at Google, so it doesn't HAVE to be me :-)
