!if command not working
  Please tell me what is wrong with the following script:

!define FW_FILE AD600

>!if ${FW_FILE}==AD600

 !define FW_NAME "OMEGA 600"

>!else

  !echo "FW_FILE=${FW_FILE}"

 !error "Unknown firmware filename defined!"

>!endif 

Here are the important parts from compiler's output log window:

MakeNSIS 2.15 - Copyright 1999-2006 Nullsoft, Inc.


>Processing script file: "D:\firmware_types.nsi"

>!define: "FW_FILE"="AD600"

>FW_FILE=AD600 (D:firmware_types.nsi:5)

!error: Unknown firmware filename defined!

>Error in script "D:\firmware_types.nsi" on line 6 -- aborting creation process 

>

Why is second branch after !else executed instead of first one when the condition is met???

!if ${FW_FILE} == AD600

as NSIS is a simple script language, operators and vars/constants need to be separated by a whitespace character.

Thank you VERY MUCH, Instructor.
I suggest that these SPACE DELIMITERS would be clearly noted in the documentation as other compilers usually do not choke on such tight junction of VAR==EXPR syntax.
