NSIS 2.0b1 - almost ready
Latest CVS commit had this changes:

- Compressor type listed in summary
- SetOutPath now sets the current directory (RegDLL no longer does)
- File names are now validated for commands that need normal files, the directory selection dialog, and every variable that contains a file/dir name
- Fixed a distortion of the MUI's branding text with ClearType
- $INSTDIR is now right in the custom page after the directory selection dialog
- No more squares in the automatically appended directory name in the directory selection dialog
- Size optimizations

The bolded change is a very big change. This is why I would like to ask from you all to test your installer with this version and see if it works. I have uploaded a compiled makensis.exe version too so it will be easy to test it.

Aside from these changes there is one little bug that needs to be fixed and then I will release b1.

TIA

- If I compile makensis.nsi and try to run it I also get an execption.
- StartFinish-Pages are only white :-(

Aight, last two changes:

• $QUICKLAUNCH now always gets the current user directory because there is no all users directory.
• Available space is now always shown for remote directories (for \\remote\drive\dir_that_doesnt_exist too)
