another question
Sorry if I sound like a newbie.:D I was wondering if there was a way to automatically install files without prompting for an install directory.

I'm using InstallDirRegKey to get the directory to extract the files to (i'm updating, not installing a totally new program) & if possible, I would like to make the installer go directly to the part that shows the install progress.

If you are using the Modern UI, remove "!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE".

Showing the directory page in your case is a good idea IMHO. What if the user has two installations of Half-Life or he deleted Windows and reinstalled and the regkey is not there? Making sure you got the right directory bu having the user click on more next will only benefit you.

Well, what I'm using it for is an updater for a game I'm involved with (if you want more info on the game, click on the website link below my post). When the game is installed, it adds registry keys containing the install path & version.

My plan for the updater is this: there will be an updater program installed with the game which woudl be a nsis installer that reads the version from the registry, then downloads & runs an installer with the updated files. If it can't find the version, the user will be prompted to download the files manually.

I don't see your website. Maybe you should turn on your signature.

I meant the little "WWW" button under the post (sorry if I wasn't clear on that). The website is www.streetrod3.com
