Hi , I translate to japanese.

EasySetup Japanese LanguageFile
http://dbp.cool.ne.jp/program/purebasic ... up_JPN.zip

; -> Setup
SetupFrame = Setup Program
SetupExe = Name of setup file:
SetupDir = Output Directory:
PrefFrame = Installation Defaults
DefaultDir = Program directory:

I do not understand working of DefaultDir.

Thanks!

I will add it to EasySetup.
I'm sorry, that i'm not able to take look on it. My Computer doesn't display japanese charakters.

DefaultDir: The name of the programm directory for the installation.

Your program files will be installed by default in %programfiles%\DefaultDir\.

> I do not understand working of DefaultDir.
for example: the DefaultDir of PureBasic is PureBasic
%ProgramFiles%\MyGreatProgram

The LanguageID for your computer you find in the menu 'help' or ask me.

Simply let your uninstaller write the this file: delitself.bat

:begin
if exist uninstall.exe goto trydelete
del delitself.bat
exit
:trydelete
del uninstall.exe
launch it hidden and END your program afterwards.
this batch file will loop till uninstall.exe is removed, and when it is it will remove itself and exit.

(remember, the batchfiles name shall be delitself.bat unless you change the del delitself.bat of course. Try it )

a better way to do it i think is to do what NSIS does (the installer system that i use):
copy the uninstaller to the temp dir
run the copied version
perform uninstall (including delete uninstall.exe from program dir)

How do you remove the uninstaller from the temp dir?

That's my way:

Code: Select all

Procedure SelfDestruct(ProgDir$="") 
  exe$ = ProgramFilename()
  bat$ = Left(exe$,1)+":\~~uninst.bat"
  If ProgDir$ And Right(ProgDir$,1) = "" : ProgDir$ = Left(ProgDir$,Len(ProgDir$)-1) : EndIf 
  If CreateFile(0, bat$) 
    WriteStringN(0, "cd ")
    WriteStringN(0, ":DeleteFile")
    WriteStringN(0, "del "+exe$) ;program executable
    WriteStringN(0, "if exist "+exe$+" goto DeleteFile")
    If ProgDir$
      WriteStringN(0, "rd "+ProgDir$) ; program directory
    EndIf
    WriteStringN(0, "del "+bat$) ; temporary batch file
    WriteStringN(0, "exit") 
    CloseFile(0)
    ShellExecute_(0,"open",bat$,0,0,#SW_HIDE)
  EndIf 
EndProcedure

Tip:
If you often have to create a setup program for your project, you can create a desktop link and insert the project as commandline parameter.

Code: Select all

EasySetup.exe KvGS.esp

=> Project ´KvGS´ will be loaded automaticly.
The date will be 'toady' and you only have to change the version information.
