password protection
Hey.

I'm pretty new to this installer. But i have already managed do build up a simple installer for a Day of Defeat map. It simpley extracts all files to the specified folder.
I want to add a password protection to the installer which has to be typed in before the installer starts.

Is there any possibility to do this for a noob?

Greetings. Morphew.

What you need is InstallOptions. InstallOptions lets you show customly designed pages. You can find a readme and some examples in Contrib\InstallOptions and Examples\Modern UI\InstallOptions.nsi.

Set up a leave function (see the test.nsi example) that will make sure the password is OK, and call Abort if it's not. This way the user won't be able to install the program until he gets the right password.

Great!
I may be able to help you too, because I create installers for Quake2 D-Day: Normandy maps!

Actually I don't need a password protection anymore. Thanks to all. We won't release a beta version of this map anymore which should be only accessed by testers (with password).

Maybe there could be a Modern UI addition which has either a single password box or a multiple code box (like on the M$ installers)
