How do I fix Nullsoft Scriptable Install System error on AMD driver
1. Move the Installer to a Different Folder
As strange it may sound, moving the installer to a different folder has worked for many users.Folder-relatederrors are not uncommon, so it should not be surprising.
2. Rename the Installer
The simplest working fix for the NSIS error is to rename the installer. Users have reported that renaming the installer has allowed the installation to complete successfully.
3. Run the Installer from the Command Prompt
You can install the NSIS installer using the Command Prompt. Windows requires all the executable files to pass the corruption test. However, using the NCRC command, you can skip this test and proceed with the installation without any error. Here is how to do it.
4. Download the Installer from Another Source
If the installer is corrupted at the source end then no matter how many times you download the file, it will show NSIS error. In this case, you need to download the installer from other sources or find an updated version of the driver.
The best way to download any installer is by the official source. In this case, visit AMD’s website and download the latest driver. If not, wait for developers to release a new version with the bug fix.
5. Scan your Computer for Malware
If your computer is infected with malware or virus, it may also affect other programs and installers resulting in corruption or malfunction. Some adware is known to cause such errors where the user is prevented from installing any new driver or software on their system. We recommend scanning your PC for malware withdedicated anti-malware softwarefor a threat-free PC.
6. Install Pending Windows Updates
If you have downloaded the latest version of the NSIS driver and your Windows OS does not have the latest build installed, it may cause compatibility issues.
To fix this, check if any updates are pending to be installed for Windows.
7. Run System File Checker
Windows OS comes with a built-in System File Checker. It is a command line-based tool that allows you to scan the system for corrupt or missing system files and replace it with new files.
Reboot the system and check for any improvements.
