NSIS Installer sets invalid working directory for Examples shortcut

Posted Thursday, 25 March, 2010 - 10:26 by the Fiddler
Project:The Open Toolkit library
Version:1.0-2010-10-06
Component:Code
Category:bug report
Priority:critical
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:closed
Description

Examples.exe expects to be run from the binaries folders but the shortcut sets its working directory to the root installation path. This causes many examples to fail because they cannot find the necessary resources.

Two possible solutions:

  • modify the working directory for the shortcut
  • embed the resources inside Examples.exe (making the working directory irrelevant)

Issue first reported here: #1672: Many RC1 example problems
