Hi tobi,
this should solve the problem. the script creates a packaged folder with
a runable version of SL. I installed NSIS but it doesn't generates the
"setup.exe".
The packaged folder only contains app_settings, character, fonts, skins,
my own folder, the llkdu.dll and my executeable. So it seems to work
fine without all the other libs, like fmod.
I dont know why the python script doesnt generates an .nsi file. as long
as there is none it couldnt be started ^^
But thanks for help, now i can distribute a package that could be run
separately to SL and dont have to copy my files in its directory. But SL
needs to be installed on the system previously, because without
installer there are not all needed folders in the user directory of
windows to run the programm successfully (ERROR: Invalid name for
LLDir::setLindenUserDir)
greets,
alex
