Your input is piped through a formatter which interprets the %d %m and %Y as format instructions for a date object which is not available. Add a second % before each %. Then it should work: !define /date MyTIMESTAMP "%%d-%%m-%%Y" Bug? I think the NsisBuilder should be changed not to use a formatter at this place because there is nothing to format. But maybe there are reasons for that I don't see. WanMil

I'm trying to add the current date to the installer file (like osm_map_07-10-2011.exe) and the (un)install information. I use the script from this example, http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Date_and_time_in_installer_or_application_name

!define /date MyTIMESTAMP "%d-%m-%Y"

Name "${INSTALLER_DESCRIPTION}${MyTIMESTAMP}"

OutFile "${INSTALLER_NAME}_${MyTIMESTAMP}.exe"

Unfortunately, the nsis builder from mkgmap crashes on this !define /date MyTIMESTAMP "%d-%m-%Y" line, see attachment. If I add those lines later to the nsi file, it works well. Is this a bug?
