Hi :) !

Well, there are two solutions to your problem:

1) Invert the '' and ""

!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "title" "bla 'pouet' "

2) Use a LangString:
LangString toto ${LANG_ENGLISH} 'bla "pouet" '

!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "title" $(toto)

Et voila :D

1) I want to use " not ' :)
(Actually, I use two ' to do a ")

2) I can't use a langstring. I'm using a pre-compiled string:
!define MUI_MYSUBTITLE "blabla $\"error$\" "

1) Ok, up to you, but what do you mean by : Actually, I use two ' to do a " ?

2) Does your installer use multiple languages ?

If it does NOT, what's so important about using a LangString instead of a define ?

LangString MUI_MYSUBTITLE${LANG_ENGLISH}  'blabla "error"'


>!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "title" ${MUI_MYSUBTITLE} 

LangString mysubtitle${LANG_FRENCH}  'blabla "erreur"'

>LangString mysubtitle ${LANG_ENGLISH} 'blabla "error"'


>!define MUI_MYSUBTITLE $(mysubtitle)


!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "title" ${MUI_MYSUBTITLE}
