Dropdown list with InstallOption
Hi, I am successfully getting user inputs during installation, but I need to display a drop down list, which I do not know how to do using INI file. Could please someone help me with how would I generate a dropdown list in NSIS installer using INI file with InstallOptions.

Thanks.

I only know this from what I have read in the manual.

Type=Droplist
ListItems=Item1|Item2|Item3

Plus the usual Left, Right, Top, Bottom fields for size and placement.

You can also use HM NIS Edit to graphically design your custom page and automatically generate your InstallOptions INI file.

The Bottom field will be used by Win9x/2k for the maximum height of the drop-down list. You should always use Bottom=-1 if you want the drop-down list to be as big as possible.

To be big as the window rectangle. Hmmm...
