Install options problem
I have been trying to make it work for some time, but I can only seem to fail ;).

I am trying to make an old style installer that popups and then displays a page with a empty input field and a button next to it.
When the button is pressed it reads the value of the field and executes that with some other options.

Can anyone give me a working sample?

I don't know if it's enough, but I learned a lot from testnotify.nsi in ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\InstallOptions

I have managed to get the input fields and buttons from there, but I cannot make those interact

how do I get the links to go to a section, run that section and then return? I can not use goto.

Ok, got it working, now how do I read the content of the password field in the classic look?
