Have you ever encountered NSIS Error? This is my first time to actually encounter such error in my years of installing all kinds of software. The error occured when I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 which I have downloaded from the Kaspersky site itself. Apparently, my download was corrupted and the NSIS Error popped up. Curious as to what this error is about, I searched for it on the internet and from what I’ve learned the acronym actually stands for Nullsoft Scriptable Install System which in english means that the installer is corrupted or damaged.
How to solve it? Yes you can basically delete the installer and download again but there’s a pretty nifty and simple instruction on making your corrupted installer work though its not really a guarantee. I followed these 4 simple steps from eHow.com and miraculously the program began installing. But to my sheer bad luck the installer stopped somewhere at 65% so yes, I have to really download a fresh file. Actually there was a fineprint that I have failed to see which states that the steps are not guaranteed.
But then again, its worth trying out those simples steps rather than downloading again especially if you are dealing with a large file. So there you have it folks, my first encounter with NSIS Error and how I managed to “fix” it.
