@Erroneus: Take a look into the http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/fil ... z/download 7z file, this time the .nsi and the NSIS folder are included again (I hope it will be in future versions too).

Another update: I had to use another UAC.dll file. The file from here http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UAC_plug-in didn't work for me, instead I took the UAC.dll from the 2.0.3 release http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.0.3/win32/vlc-2.0.3-win32.7z and put it in the NSIS folder, like in 2.0....

when i download vlc-2.0.5.tar.xz there is only one file included. There is no folder strukture like vlc-2.0.5\vlc-2.0.5\extras\package\win32
whats wrong in my doing?

Use 7zip, unzip the xz file and then unzip the tar file

Hi, I tried to reproduce your steps but I'm still not able to compile it :-( The following errors occur: !insertmacro: UAC.FastCallFunctionAsUser GetFunctionAddress: $R9 ExecAppFileInvalid command: UAC::ExecCodeSegment Error in macro UAC.FastCallFunctionAsUser on macroline 2 Error in macro UAC.CallF...

I downloaded some of the nightly builds but was not able to find the required files to get NSIS working. Can you provide a link to a file?

The files necessary for creating a customized version with NSIS are missing again in 2.0.5 (from version 2.0.2 until 2.0.4 the files were available) :-( This time it is also not possible to extract these files (described http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=99300&p=337664#p337664 )...

update on this one... I downloaded this one: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.0.1/vlc-2.0.1.tar.xz Then I extracted (use 7zip) languages and UAC.nsh, UAC.dll from here: \extras\package\win32 Put the language folder in your root vlc path (from the zip file), create a NSIS sub folder wi...

Why not? Msi are better than .exe for installation.

MSI files would be great as long as these are configurable (e.g. no update, file assoc, etc...)

@Jean-Baptiste: thx for the file but I don't really understand why these folders won't be easily available in future versions. I don't think that you will provide a special msi for every new version

Ticket was closed by courmisch, marked as invalid. If I want to modify the installation parameters I need those files.
Is there another way to configure the installation (e.g. shortcut creation, deactivation of ActiveX component, file extension configuration)?

Thx for your reply
So you gonna fix it?

Hi, I downloaded the 2.0.1 Windows files and noticed that the folders "NSIS" and "languages" are missing (7z und zip file). These folders are required for a custom installation with the nsi file. Am I supposed to take the folders from the 2.0.0 release? Any help appreciated. BR, ...

There have been similar posts but I don't know what causes the issue. Not all people have this problem. If it is DVDnav related, nightlies might have fix for it.

thx for the info, as I wrote in my first post the nightly builds don't work either...

additional note: thx to VLC_help! If I start the DVD an wait for approximately 15 seconds the video starts. Now comes the question: why?!? The DVD starts instantly on my old single core PC and needs 15 seconds on my new dual core notebook. Can anyone give me a reason for that (the configuration of v...

Does it help if you try no menus option or wait about 30 minutes when VLC tries to open the DVD?

"no menu" option does not help.
wait for 30 minutes?!? I never waited that long, really 30 minutes not 30 seconds?!?
Why should I wait 30 min (any technical reason)?

Hi community, I have a strange problem with my VLC player (Version 0.8.6h). I can't play DVD's. VLC starts up, I select "open disc" and then nothing. The DVD drives spins up but nothing more happens. The GUI is working but if i click on exit the windows disappears but the vlc.exe process s...
