PSPP-BUG: PSPP Add/Remove Programs Entry

Hi,

 

We have a number of users here at Oxford University who have requested the use of your software, while I’m not familiar with this software myself I’m a great supporter of all open source software projects so very much appreciate your efforts.

 

Unfortunately it seems like the NSIS installer doesn’t populate the Add/Remove Programs section of the registry which we rely on for auditing purposes. I believe the following keys would be required to add a minimal and functional entry:

 

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PSPP]

"DisplayName"="PSPP"

"UninstallString"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PSPP\\Uninstall.exe"

"DisplayIcon"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PSPP\\bin\\psppire.exe"

"DisplayVersion"="0.8.2"

 

To circumvent this I can create a wrapper which writes the registry values during installation and another for uninstallation but if possible I would prefer to fix this for the Windows release. Would it be possible to get a copy of the NSIS installation and uninstallation scripts so that I can try and do this myself? Unless of course it’s trivial for this to be added by one of the team!


Many Thanks,

Matt
