Installer brings up an error immediately after logo shows
I wrote an installer, but on some computers the InstallOptions DLL file is complaining the MSVC 2003 dlls are missing, and errors out... So, my question is, was it compiled using MinGW or MSVC2003 and was it statically linked originally or dynamically linked?

So I understand, InstallOptions doesn't need .NET 2003 runtimes, is IO the only DLL used by your installer?

The plugins used are WAnsis, InstallOptions, NewAdvSplash, NSISArray, and System?... I think... I am using Component Manager...

Do you have the latest version of NSISArray?
Pre 1.0 I was using VS .NET 2003 (but I was pretty sure the plugin was dependent of .NET). Moved to VC 6 since.

I used NSIS 2.15... Does that contain the version of NSISArray that required the MSVCR71.DLL?

NSISArray doesn't come with NSIS. You would have downloaded it from:

I tried it, but now my installer FREEZES on launch! I reverted the DLL file... I have another problem though... I need to have my installer change a global variable on initialization, depending on the type of Windows... If it is Platform 9x, then I want it to change the variable to contain "A"... If it is Platform NT, then I want it to change the variable to contain "U"... I want the variable to change in the .onInit function... Global Variable is called "ENCODING"...
