Issue with StrCmp
Hi!

I'm trying to find the User Previlidges and cont as per that.
Is the user has Admin, then the function True else False.
Here is a sample of what i'm doing ....

Function .onInit

Call IsUserAdmin
Pop $R0
MessageBox MB_OK 'User= "$R1" AccountType= "$R2" IsUserAdmin= "$R0"'
StrCmp "True" $R0 Install End

Install:
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp "abcd.bmp"
advsplash::show 1000 600 200 -1 $PLUGINSDIR\splash
Delete $PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp
LogSet on

End:
MessageBox MB_OK 'Need Administrative Previlidges to Install'
FunctionEnd

The problem is that the StrCmp though equal to True executes Install & then End.

Any Help or Suggestion!!

Hi!

Sorry Folks!! I have another shot at it and resolved the issue myself. Sorry!!

The new Function looks like...

Function .onInit
Call IsUserAdmin
Pop $R0
;MessageBox MB_OK 'User= "$R1" AccountType= "$R2" IsUserAdmin= "$R0"'
StrCmp "True" $R0 Install End

End:
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP 'Need Administrative Previlidges to Install'
Abort

Install:
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp "abc.bmp"
advsplash::show 1000 600 200 -1 $PLUGINSDIR\splash
Delete $PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp
LogSet on
FunctionEnd

It was happening because you needed to jump over the 'End:' block of code with Goto after doing the 'Install:' block of code.

According to NSIS help manuals, you must have $INSTDIR defined before the LogSet function will work.
