Archive: How to change some text?


How to change some text?
Hello

Just installed NSIS v2.01b and created an installer for my product. Amazing!!!

Just 2 questions -

1.) In the last screen i.e. after the installation is done I want to change the "Show Readme" to "Show FAQ", since I want to show a FAQ instead of a Readme file? Can I change the text.

I am using the following stuff in MODERN_UI_CONFIGURATION

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "$INSTDIR\somefile.ext"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\somefile.ext"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_NOREBOOTSUPPORT

2.) I want to change some text in the property pages of the installer? Where can I get the complete list of text?

Thanks if advance and Thank You for such a great INSTALLER!!!!


0) b1 is an old version. b2 was released about a week ago.

1) To change the text use:

!define MUI_TEXT_FINISH_SHOWREADME "Show FAQ"

before inserting the language file.

2) All of text in the installer is customizable in one way or another, most in very simple ways. What text do you want to change exactly? Every text that is changable trough the script is listed in the docs, and if it's not then we'll be glad to know :)

Actually I am using b2 only :)

before inserting the language file.
I am using one of the sample provided in Examples directory. I dont know where I am including the Language file. Which commands inserts the language file?

What text do you want to change exactly?
I want to change some text in Installation Option property page. Where can I find informationn about how to change text.

Thanks for your patience

Check the Modern UI language files (Contrib\Modern UI\Language files) for a list of the names.

Define it before inserting the language file (as kichik said).

You insert a language file by inserting the MUI_LANGUAGE macro. For example:
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

Thanks. Found it. Now everything is perfectly OK.

Well, thank you for a great installer.
