Hi Steve, Thanks for the quick response.

2. Run mkgmap with the --nsis option. This will give you a .nsi file (by default osmmap.nsi). This is just a text file that you can adjust if need be.

OK - I notice that it misses out the TYP file and indexing files. It would be good if it included them (please could you add them into the script).

3. Run makensis osmmap.nsi this should create a windows installer for mapsource.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work on my Ubuntu system as it's missing some part of makensis. So I installed the windows version and that runs OK and produces an installer.

Check that it works on Vista/Windows7 as I'm not sure if .nsi file has the line to request installation privs.

Someone will have to do that for me as I don't have access to those systems. Cheers, Mark

Hi Nakor,

Mark, I am not familiar with TYP files, but if you provide me a sample with all the files you submit to mkgmap, the command line and which files should be included in the install I will be glad to improve the NSIS file generation.

If you give the --index option mkgmap generates osmmap.mdx and osmmap_mdr.idx files that should be installed with the others and have registry entries like these: "SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\${REG_KEY}" "IDX" "$INSTDIR\${MAPNAME}.mdx" "SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\${REG_KEY}" "MDR" "$INSTDIR\${MAPNAME)_mdr.img" If a TYP file is given as one filenames to mkgmap, you could include it in the list of files to install and generate a registry entry for it: "SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\${REG_KEY}" "TYP" "$INSTDIR\TYPEFILENAME" Is that enough info? Cheers, Mark

Hi Steve,

It will include the index files if --index is given. Of course this also generates the index too and it might be good to be able to build from a previously generated set of files.

Hmm, I'm specifying --index but it's not putting anything into osmmap.nsi that's related to MDR or IDX files. Something's not right.

I've created a patch (attached) that picks up mdr and typ files and adds them if present. It could do with with a tad more testing than I've given it.

Thanks, I will give it a go. Cheers, Mark

Thanks, I will give it a go. 1 - the WriteRegStr line for the TYP file includes the TYP file's path when it should be stripped? i.e.

Would giving an arbitary Unix path even work in a windows installer? I always have all files in the current directory when making an one. New patch attached. ..Steve

Hi Steve,

New patch attached.

Thanks, giving it a go... looks good.

Ah, just noticed that it doesn't put a line in the script to delete the TYP file on uninstall - otherwise, looking good. Cheers, Mark
