"-" switch in Section command not working
Can somebody try to use the following code with the latest cvs?

Section -Test
SectionEnd

When i use the (-) switch before an section name the compiler gives the error message "Error: Section already open, call SectionEnd first"

I tested this in a new clean script were no sections were opened previously

What is better, post here or post in the "New in latest CVS version" the answer?

I'm not using the latest now (I got it at yesterday, 2:00 PM here), and is working. Now I'm downloading the latest... [EDIT]and I tried to run !InstallNSIS.bat but give this:

Section: "-post"
Error: Section already open, call SectionEnd first
Error in script "Examples/makensis.nsi" on line 631 -- aborting creation process

And I cannot install the latest version of NSIS![/EDIT]

i just took the example1.nsi and changed the section name to...

Processing script file: "C:\Documents and Settings\DOCa Cola\Desktop\example1.nsi"
Name: "Example1"
OutFile: "example1.exe"
InstallDir: "$PROGRAMFILES\Example1"
DirText: "This will install the very simple example1 on your computer. Choose a directory" "" ""
Section: "-1231"
Error: Section already open, call SectionEnd first
Error in script "C:\Documents and Settings\DOCa Cola\Desktop\example1.nsi" on line 25 -- aborting creation process

After these posts, is right that the command Section got a bug on the lastest change in MakeNSIS.exe.

btw. i downloaded the latest cvs in a zip file now (usually i use the updater) and it won't compile itself too (!InstallNSIS.bat)

Error: Section already open, call SectionEnd first
Error in script "Examples/makensis.nsi" on line 631 -- aborting creation process
