Set PRODUCT_NAME onInit
Hi,

I'd like to have a modular productname, productversion etc. in my installation.
Is there any way to read them out of a file?

I've tried to set them "onInit" but i wasn't able to make it work.

Is there any way to make this?

use !defines.
i use something like that on top of my code (before everything else):
!define Product_Name "skfhaskdfh"
!define Product_Version "1.2.3.4"
!define Product_Publisher "sdkfhskdjhfe"

then later like that:

WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${Product_Name}" "DisplayName" "${Product_Name}"
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${Product_Name}" "DisplayVersion" "${Product_Version}"
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${Product_Name}" "Publisher" "${Product_Publisher}"

You can do this, exactly as you said. However, you need a second nsis script that when compiled reads the values from an ini file then calls the second script passing in the values. ie: Product name, your favourite color etc.

Easy As 124? hehe.
