Changing "Install-dir text"
NSIS 1.98
=========

Hi All,

is it possible to change the following textsting (found in build.cpp - line 1139)

wsprintf(buf,"Select the directory to install %s in:",build_strlist.get()+build_header.common.name_ptr);

to "whatever i want" without recompiling NSIS ???

See the screen ..

Thanks
Dizzy

That's what you have DirText for ;)

Yes - clear ...:confused:

I thought about a possibility to use this function to select a directory to fill with other files ...

Example :
- search all *.bat files and store it in THIS dir .. and i want to browse my hd for a dir or share ...

Any idea?

:)

Thanks Dizzy

Do you want the DirText to be dyanamic? DirText "bla $0 bla" for example? That's not possible in your version of NSIS.

OK - kick my first question away...

I want to have the same funtionality as in the "install section".

I want to have the "browse" function to choose a directory for other actions.

Sorry for the chaos

Then you will have to create an InstallPage with a browse button.

I am sorry, I meant InstallOptions page. You can find some documentation about InstallOptions in Contrib\InstallOptions.
