AllowRootDirInstall not working for me
Having a bit of difficulty with AllowRootDirInstall in the code below. I still cannot select (for example) c:\ or \\SHARENAME\

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance... Neil

Works fine for me. What version of NSIS are you using?

Works fine for me on b3 too. Where exactly can't you select C:\ and \\server\share?

I have two directory selection pages. In both of them the "next" button becomes greyed out if I type in c:\ or \\server\share

Can you attach the stripped script (no File commands) and a compiled example installer?

Ok found the problem in a function .onVerifyInstDir which was checking for root directory. Thanks for your help.
