Second Link on MUI Finish Page
I need to add a second link on the MUI Finish Page. I found some threads that say the only way other than a custom page is to add another field to the ioSpecial.ini file in the plugins dir.

I can easily add the link in a pre function before the finish page with a !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE command, but i need the structure to be there first, like this:

[Field 5]
Type=Link
Left=10
Right=180
Top=126
Bottom=136
State=
Text=

Question #1: should i do it with the File command, like this?

FileOpen $5 $PLUGINSDIR\ioSpecial.ini a
FileSeek $5 0 END
FileWrite $5 "[Field 3]"
FileSeek $5 0 END
FileWrite $5 "Type=Link"
FileSeek $5 0 END
FileWrite $5 "Left=10"
FileSeek $5 0 END
yada yada yada...
FileClose $5

Question #2: I noticed that i do not need the flushini command on windows 98 when using the !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE command, is the flush built into the macro, or am i just getting lucky?

Thanks.

superwan, thanks. Your saying that !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE will create the entry if not currently present, right?

Anyone know about Question #2? Thanks all.

You only need to use FlushINI before deleting the INI file. This removes the INI file data from Windows 9X memory.
