Mui_directorypage
Guys n Gals,

Anyone know whether an additional MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE can be specified. What I want to do is request the user specify the working directory that my application defaults to. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to do it as a plugin?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Install Options will do the trick....
Use the object...DirRequest

This recent thread by KICHIK mentions that he is currently working on making NSIS allow multiple directory pages in one installer (amongst other things) and he provides a version of the installer with preliminary support for this feature in the thread.

Cheers for your replies... Is there a reason why I'd have to use KICHIK's stuff if InstallOptions and DirRequest do the job? Or was the just wrong?

KiCHiK's changes (which will make into normal NSIS once he's finished) allow you to get an exact copy of the normal directory page without having to create it yourself using install options. You don't have to use KiCHiK's stuff, I just thought you might be interested ;)

Also you could check out my archive page on this topic, see below, as it provides an alternate way of doing this and explains how to set the default location too.
