XPStyle - This is not what you think! This effects whether or not the installer will use your users custom theme/style in Windows XP. If you set this to On it will try and override the users theme and use XP's default. I recommend leaving this Off so your installer will inherit the theme that your user has.

heh, how do people come to conclusions like this :cry:

i fix the problem
i removed:

!insertmacro MUI_RESERVEFILE_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE

and

!define MUI_PRODUCT "British Airborne models"
!define MUI_VERSION ""; define a version here if you want to.
!define MUI_BRANDINGTEXT "British Airborne models for DoD v1.0 (Red Beret version)"

and i add this:

;General
SetDateSave on
SetDatablockOptimize on
ShowInstDetails show
BGGradient 000000 800000 FFFFFF
InstallColors FF8080 000030
DirText "Sabaki Counter Strike Source Installer v 0.2 beta"

full .nsi file looks like that so far:

;Start

Name "Sabaki Counter Strike Source Pack v 0.2 beta"
Caption "Sabaki Counter Strike Source Pack v 0.2 beta"

!include "MUI.nsh"

;--------------------------------
;General

Well in defence of my script :(

That installer script wont work on the release version - if you read the first page it was written ages ago when NSIS 2 was still in beta and a lot of stuff changed so it needs re-writing. Hence, thats why its classified on my site as "retired"

As for the comment about XP-Style - thats how I interpreted its use from the documentation that came with the Beta.

When ever I release a HL/HL2 map all I have to put in my script is this:

${SE-ExtractDirReg}        "HKCU" "Software\Valve\Steam" "ModInstallPath"
${SE-ExtractDirRegAdd}     "hostileintent"
${SE-ExtractDirRegRO}

${SE-ExtractDirText}       "Please enter or browse for your Hostile Intent game directory..."
${SE-ExtractDirTextBrowse} "Please select your Hostile Intent game directory..."

${SE-ReadmeCheckBox}       "hi_sands_v3.txt" "$INSTDIR\maps\hi_sands_v3.txt"

This is all you need to use with my Self-Extractor kit to allow for Steam installations.
