MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT doesn't accept long text
At least it seems to me.
If I try to use some long text like this:

!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT "$\"Setup will install ${MUI_PRODUCT} content files (templates, sample etc) in the following folder. To install in a different folder, click Browse and select another folder.$\" $\"Content Folder$\""

then compiler gives me the following error:
!define: "MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT"="$\"Setup will install Album Creator content files (templates, sample etc) in the following folder. To install in a different folder, click Browse and select another folder.$\" $\"Content Folder$\""
!insertmacro: MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
DirText expects 0-3 parameters, got 28.
Usage: DirText [directory_page_description] [directory_page_subtext] [browse_button_text] [browse_dlg_text]
Error in macro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY on macroline 18
---------
Strange thing that if I am trying short texts (like in MUI Readme):

!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT "$\"Text$\" $\"Buttontext$\""

Everything is fine. No errors during compilation.
Any thoughts?

Addition, seems that it doesn't like spaces in first text:

!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT "$\"Text totry$\" $\"Button text$\""

also failing

Use:

!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT '"Text totry" "Button text"'

for now.

Actually, always. It's working right. \$" is only to be used to escape a double quote (") in string quoted by double quotes. It makes the preprocessor not treat it as a token opener/closer. Since you do want those double quotes to open and close the tokens, you shold not escape them like that.

Fixed in the documentation.

Have you defined it right before inserting the MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY macro?
