1.25.0 5031: Error on Install. (3 Viewers)

[ajs]

There is another opinion:

i used the fonts-plugin to install my constum fonts, because INSTALLTTF made too much problems and work for me.

Set the Outputpath to the System-Fontfolder
System::Call 'shell32:HGetSpecialFolderPathA(i $HWNDPARENT, t .r1, i ${CSIDL_FONTS}, i 0) i r0'
SetOutPath $1

Add the ttf and the Name of the Font to the Registry:
WriteRegStr HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" "Play Regular" "Play-Regular.ttf"

Then just use the registerFont Function of the fonts-Plugin:
fonts::registerFont "Play-Regular.ttf"

There is another opinion:

If that would work in our installer, than we get rid of this error message(s) and have a smooth install without user interaction
Maybe an idea for 1.26

@ajs
do you think, an existing check, if font present, skip installation.

It is necessary to test more deeply if the font is not installed, that is, whether there is such an error or not, if it is not, then it is enough to output this error to the log file.
If there is, it is necessary to change the procedure for registering fonts, perhaps by writing a small program for registering fonts, or to change the NSIS script.

Maybe error in this case ... The some message dialog when remove - MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1

And we have Advanced font script - MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1 maybe need try use it ... or maybe need update both scripts from NSIS site ...

Thanks everyone. FYI I have also now updated my HTPC from 1.24 Final which also has MultiShortcut shortcuts without any problem, also replaced the new BasicHomeEditorDefines.xml with a copy of my old modified one. All looking good. Went back to my desktop PC and reinstalled 1.25 but no errors this time. I have never seen this error on install before through multiple updates, reinstalls, fresh installs etc.

I think for remove fonts we can ignore all error or simply write it to log ...
