Inserting a page into the uninstaller
I'm trying to add an option page to the NSIS uninstaller. I'm able to display the page, but i somehow can't show any controls on it. What i have (the test.ini resides in the same directory as the UnInstall.exe):

;--------------------------------
;Modern UI Configuration

!define MUI_UNCUSTOMPAGECOMMANDS
!define MUI_UNINSTALLER
!define MUI_UNCONFIRMPAGE

;--------------------------------
;Uinstaller Custom Pages

!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGECOMMAND_CONFIRM
UninstPage custom un.UnInstallOptions
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGECOMMAND_INSTFILES

;--------------------------------
;Uninstaller Options Callback

Function un.UnInstallOptions
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "test.ini"
FunctionEnd

;--------------------------------
;Uninstaller Section

Section "Uninstall"
Delete "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"

RMDir "$INSTDIR"
SectionEnd

Any clues what i'm doing wrong?

1) Can you attach the INI file?

1) To make custom pages a little easier, upgrade to Modern UI 1.65 (latest development version) and use the new page macro's: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....hreadid=136615

test.ini
Here's the test.ini (renamed to .txt to allow uploading). I'll checkout the new MUI version. Thnx.

You forgot to extract the INI file in un.onInit (using the MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT macro).

That worked!
Thanks. The following did the trick.

Function un.onInit
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT "test.ini"
FunctionEnd

Because EXTRACT is in the macro name, i assumed the macro extracts (e.g. unzips) the test.ini file from the uninstaller. So this is not the case. Instead it seems to convert the contents of test.ini into some internal data structure. And you don't need to distribute test.ini as i assumed.

Thanks for the help and keep up the good work!

It does extract the INI file to the plug-ins directory, a temporary directory where the INI files and plug-ins are stored.
