ExecDos and BRAND flag?
Hi all,

I'm new to NSIS.

I used ExecDos in one of my applications a while back. It had a /BRAND flag that would change the "status" string. So I could do /BRAND="Starting apache..." and it would show starting "Stating apache..." above the progress bar.

However when I came back to NSIS and downloaded the plug in again after around 2 months, there is no mention of the BRAND flag and surely it doesn't work! It shows "ExecDos plugin: command".

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ExecDos_plug-in

Anyone know why? Why the flag disappeared? Is there another way to do this?

Thanks,
Thakur

Perhaps you should send a message to Takhir. He checks these forums quite regularely.

/BRAND is not supported any more. I guess this is not a job for plug-in to change texts in the multilang program. So I removed this option from plug-in, now it not touchs any controls on the NSIS wizard page. Just use DetailPrint if you want change message above progress bar - new included Example.nsi does this.
