Request : Tutorial on InstallOptions 2 using HM NIS Edit
As most if not all of you know that HM NIS Edit comes with an InstallOptions dialog designer, will if some on could make a tutorial on how to get this to work that would be cool.

I am going for something like this : http://www.gnyso-strike.com/host/dyg.../NSISIO2_1.jpg

http://www.gnyso-strike.com/host/dyg.../NSISIO2_2.jpg

and would output this :

amx_admin "" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"

How the hell did he do all of this, thats what i need to know, and i am hoping for a tutorial on the subject.
Its not installing anything, its just adding a line to the file, Could some one show me code on all of this.

Talk to the developer. Although, as you say is only the designer...
you'll have to use the hand-code to make it work, as you can see the IO DOCs.

It says to do this ...

Now you should note the Field numbers of the data entry controls. We are interested in

Username (Text – Field 2)
Password (Password – Field 4)

[Field 2]
Type=Text
Left=150
Right=300
Top=20
Bottom=35

[Field 4]
Type=Password
Left=150
Right=300
Top=40
Bottom=56

This example is using the Modern User Interface.

In you .onInit callback function, specify the INI filename and its alias. This is because I keep my INI files, graphics, etc in a sub-directory.

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT_AS "assets\UserPass.ini" "UserPass"

In your NSI script where you set up the page order:

LangString USERPASS_TITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Enter your Username and Password."
LangString USERPASS_SUBTITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} " "
Page custom UsernamePasswordPage

The custom page function:

# CUSTOM PAGE.
# =========================================================================
# Get the Username and Password.
Function UsernamePasswordPage

!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "$(USERPASS_TITLE)" "$(USERPASS_SUBTITLE)"

# Display the page.
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "UserPass"

# Get the user entered values.
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Username "UserPass" "Field 2" "State"
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Password "UserPass" "Field 4" "State"

FunctionEnd

The VARs $Username and $Password will contain the user entered values.

Thats all well and good, but how might i get this to work ?

*Note* Dygear = UberNoobie at NSIS
as you can see i did not even make the NSIS file myself. :confused:

Did not work, look at this, see if you can compile it.

Do i need some extra dlls?
All i have is the stock NSIS 2.0.

Now I tested it and changed it to work. You only need to add the LangStrings for French and German and to add a funcionality of the User and Password page.

You have to put the script in a subfolder of a folder containing the Assets and License subfolders.
