I tried creating an installer following the tutorial. I then added a script called "installerscript.qs" as per the startmenu example in the Qt Installer Framework directory.
The "installscript.qs" is as follows:
/****************************************************************************

function Component()
{
// default constructor
}
Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
component.createOperations();
if (systemInfo.productType === "windows") {
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@/customtexteditor.exe", "@StartMenuDir@/open-editor.lnk",
"workingDirectory=@TargetDir@","iconPath=%TargetDir%/Logo.ico");
component.addOperation("CreateDesktopShortcut", "@TargetDir@/customtexteditor.exe", "@DesktopDir@/open-editor.lnk",
"workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=%TargetDir%/Logo.ico",);
}
}
My package.xml is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package>
<DisplayName>open-editor</DisplayName>
<Description>open-editor</Description>
<Version>1.0.2</Version>
<ReleaseDate>2019-11-10</ReleaseDate>
<Default>true</Default>
<Name>open-editor</Name>
<Licenses>
<License name="End User License Agreement" file="license.txt" />
</Licenses>
<ForcedInstallation>true</ForcedInstallation>
<Script>installscript.qs</Script>
</Package>
When I execute the installer I get the error message:
Exception while loading component script "D:\system\temp\remoterepo-Q2Q7ZU\open-editor\installscript.qs": TypeError: cannot read property 'name' of null on line number: 1
This example worked when I tried it in the example directory. But gives me the above error when I modify it slightly to work with my own code.
any ideas why it does not work?
i use this command for binary creator:
..\..\bin\binarycreator.exe --online-only -c config\config.xml -p packages installer.exe
you can follow the following link to view the whole project: https://ftp.stranica.nl/index/help/project you can find all the files of my project
the zip file in that dictory has the whole package in it
i did changes to my whole packages so now everything looks a bit different but is the same
I think I have found the solution
open-editor
as packages name is wrong
they want something like this:
org.<vendor>.<name>.installer
so if you rename open-editor
to org.devgroup.open_editor.installer
you will get a working online and offline installer
edit:
at least on windows this is the case
