Problem with UserInfo or StrCmp or with me.
  Hello,

After reading the documentation I tried to start experimenting with some of those examples that I found. Now base on the script that I experiment below, what I want to achieve is, if a user is not a member of Power User or Administrator group it will pop-up a message that says "User is just an ordinary user". Now when I try this script with a user that don't belong to Power User or Admin group, the message that pop-up is "Error! This DLL can't run under Windows 9x!".

Maybe I missed something here, why is it that my script didn't work?

Thanks!

Function .onInit

  Call TestFunction

  Pop $R0

  MessageBox MB_OK "$R0"

  Abort

FunctionEnd



>Function TestFunction

  Push $R0


    ClearErrors

    UserInfo::GetName

    IfErrors Win9x

    Pop$0

    UserInfo::GetAccountType

    Pop$1

    StrCmp$1 "Admin" 0 +3

        Strcpy $R0 'User "$0" is in the Administrators group'

        Goto done

    StrCmp$1 "Power" 0 +3

        Strcpy $R0 'User "$0" is in the Power Users group'

        Goto done

      Strcpy $R0 'User "$0" is just an ordinary user'

   Win9x:

        # This one means you don't need to care about admin or

        # not admin because Windows 9x doesn't either

       Strcpy $R0 "Error! This DLL can't run under Windows 9x!"


   done:



 Exch $R0

FunctionEnd

btw I tried it on win2kpro. I'm confused with this portion. AFAIK this code:

StrCmp $1 "Admin" 0 +3

        Strcpy $R0 'User "$0" is in the Administrators group'

        Goto done

    StrCmp$1 "Power" 0 +3

        Strcpy $R0 'User "$0" is in the Power Users group'

        Goto done

    Strcpy $R0 'User "$0" is just an ordinary user' 

is similar to this: (I mean its logic)

if $1 == "Admin"

    $R0 = "administrator group"

     Goto done

>else if $1 == "Power"

    $R0 = "Power User group"

     Goto done

>else

    $R0 = "is an ordinary user" 

please correct me if Im wrong. Or maybe I missed something here.

You're correct, but you forgot to jump to done after the last StrCpy which causes NSIS to continue and process Win9x and show the error message.
