multiple uninstall sections with MUI
Hola,

I'm trying to create a MUI installer with muliple uninstall sections. I can't seem to get the uninstall section description text to show up on uninstall sections. Here's my test script (below) which is just a mod of InstallOptions.nsi. This looks like a bug to me. Can anybody make this work?

cheers




;---------------------
;Include Modern UI

!include "MUI.nsh"

;--------------------------------
;General

;Name and file
Name "Modern UI Test 0.1"
OutFile "InstallOptions.exe"

;Default installation folder
InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\Modern UI Test"

;Get installation folder from registry if available
InstallDirRegKey HKCU "Software\Modern UI Test" ""

;--------------------------------
;Pages

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "${NSISDIR}\Docs\Modern UI\License.txt"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES

!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_COMPONENTS
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES

;Language strings
LangString DESC_Section1 ${LANG_ENGLISH} "First uninstall section."
LangString DESC_Section2 ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Second uninstall section."

;Assign language strings to sections
!insertmacro MUI_UNFUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_BEGIN
!insertmacro MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT ${Section1} $(DESC_Section1)

;Installer Sections

Section "Dummy Section" SecDummy
DetailPrint "this really does not install anything except the uninstaller"
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
;Create uninstaller
WriteUninstaller "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"
SectionEnd


;--------------------------------
;Uninstaller Sections

Section un.Section1
DetailPrint "This actually does nothing for section 1"
SectionEnd

Section un.Section2
;ADD YOUR OWN FILES HERE...
DetailPrint "Removes folder and uninstaller for section 2"
Delete "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"
RMDir "$INSTDIR"
SectionEnd

Move the descriptions below the sections.

You should check the makensis compiler output more often as well. No doubt you'd have warnings for this.

I can't get the script in my earlier post to show my descriptions in the uninstaller sections no matter where I put the descriptions. Also, I get this warning message when the script is compiled:


2 warnings:
unknown variable/constant "{Section1}" detected, ignoring (macro:MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT:5)
unknown variable/constant "{Section2}" detected, ignoring (macro:MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT:5)

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Ah I see...

Section un.Section1 must be:
Section un.Section1 Section1
and...
Section un.Section2 must be:
Section un.Section2 Section2

Afrow UK,

Thanks, the combination of Joost's suggestion of putting the description below the uninstall section plus your suggestion fixed the problem!

Thanks!
