I'm trying to compile a script, perfectly working with NSIS installing version, by NSIS partable version but it doesn't work.
Other .nsh files, also natively available in Include folder of NSIS portable version, called by the script are working well. The web downloaded zipdll.nsh file, added in a second time into the Include folder of NSIS portable version, is at moment the only file called by the script that doesn't work!
The compiler gets back the following message:
!include: "C:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\zipdll.nsh" (UTF8)
!define: "ZIPDLL_USED"=""
Bad text encoding
!include: error in script: "C:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\zipdll.nsh" on line 77
Does anybody of you know how to put me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance to everyone who will help me
That file contains multiple languages but is not valid UTF-8 so you have to force the codepage:
!include /CHARSET=CP1252 zipdll.nsh

I am trying to make haskell-linter to work on VS Code on my windows 10 machine. Apparently you need to add a path to the .exe file for it to work. I get this error message.
Cannot hlint the haskell file. The hlint program was not found. Use the 'haskell.hlint.executablePath' setting to configure the location of 'hlint'
In the Dependencies options there is following information.
It expects a version of hlint >= 1.9.1 to be installed and already added to >the path. If it is installed but cannot be found, add the path to your >preferences as seen below"
"haskell.hlint.executablePath": "Path\To\Executable"
I tried adding a path in the system environment as such.
Variablename: haskell.hlint.executablePath
Variablevalue: C:\Users\name\.vscode\extensions\hoovercj.haskell-linter-0.0.6\node_modules\.bin
I am fairly sure the variable value is the thing wrong here. I think I need to find the path to the .exe file for for the extension, but I can't seem to find it in the folder containing the extension itself. There is probable an easy fix that I am just to inexperienced to see. Please help, and if you do, explain it as if I was 8. :)
Edit 1: I now know where to put the path to what i assume must be the .exe file for Haskell-linter, however i don't know where that file is. As stated i cant find any .exe files in the extension folder.
Edit 2: I reinstalled hlint and added the new path. it finally seems to work as intended.
First time with making an installation file. Using NSIS. Trying to run a nodeJS script command line after installation completes and poking about online suggestions all seem to be a variation of
Section "runNodeJavascript"
nsExec::Exec '"$SYSDIR\cmd.exe" /c
node "c:\Program Files (x86)\FolderOne\FolderTwo\JavascriptToRun.js"'
SectionEnd
But my experimentation so far is for naught, any insight? Everything else with NSIS online has been pretty helpful making a little installer but for some reason hitting a little barrier here...
I'm trying to get sublime to highlight smalltalk .st files but am running into some trouble.
A quick search found this package, but after adding the repository like it says in the README, I don't see the package that its supposed to add when doing Package Control: install package.
I also tried looking into this one but am completely lost when it says This syntax file can be converted to .tmLanguage using PackageDev 'Convert to PList'. Place the converted file in Packages/Smalltalk/Smalltalk.tmLanguage and reopen any .st file.
Can anybody help me out please? I'm running ST3 on MacOSX.
The installtion instructions using Package Control did not work for me either, but you can take the language file, Smalltalk.tmLanguage, from Smalltalk syntax for Sublime Text 3 and use the manual installation instructions you cited:
Place the file in Packages/Smalltalk/Smalltalk.tmLanguage
As you asked about macOS, on macOS this means:
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Smalltalk/Smalltalk.tmLanguage
The Library folder might be hidden by default. Use the Terminal or Finder's Go ▶︎ Go To Folder… to access it.
For Smalltalk/X you can download a highlighting package at - sublime highlighting for smalltalk/X called Smalltalk.sublime-package.
You can copy it to the path provided by #MartinW above.
Creating a python executable in pycharm is harder than creating it in visual studio or creating a vb.net executable.
I thought I'd understand how to do this already but it looks like I have not.
I created a question regarding this in Dec of last year, here >> Create a simple python executable program and an icon to it - Hello World.
But I don't understand the answer or if it was answered completely. So I did my research again and found 2 helpful sites below that helped me create python executable without visual studio involved,
https://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/installation.html
https://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/usage.html#using-pyinstaller.
I followed the instructions exactly:
In command line, set path to C:\Python34\Scripts, then type pyinstaller "C:\Users\Desktop\PROGRAMs\TEST22.py".
This creates a TEST22.spec file in C:\Python34\Scripts and creates a folder TEST22 in C:\Python34\Scripts\dist and in there, are the TEST22.exe. I click on this executable to run the program, it runs completely fine. But when I copied the executable to the desktop, for example, it doesn't run. It seems like in the scripts folder there are files needed to run it and when it's a stand alone program there are no file to run it. Could someone let me know an easier way to create executable and please advise me on how I could fix it when the executable is copied to desktop or anywhere else and run it ?
Your answer lies in pyinstaller documentation. The dist folder itself is a standalone program directory. To get a single file exe with pyinstaller is not possible even thou pyinstaller has -F option for single exe since it dosnt contain data files.
I would suggest use py2exe and inno setup for creating installer
I have wrote a simple Python script for searching files & finding the duplicates as I am currently learning Python. Nothing complicated at all. This is also my first try of using cx-freeze to build an Windows executable. I'm using Python 3.3.
I'm using the included cxfreeze script to create .exe file. So, I've typed cxfreeze search.py --target-dir dist . Everything goes OK during buildup, and I get the 'dist' folder with files in my home directory (using Lubuntu Linux). Problem is, the Lubuntu recognises the file with the name 'search' as executable, but it hasn't got an .exe extension. On the Windows platform, it is showed just as an file without an extension. So when I try to run it on Windows XP, it just won't work. Adding an .exe extension also do not help.
Do someone have a clue what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
