using MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK
Hi,

I want to add to the finish page a link to some web site.
The url is known only at the end of the installation and is stored in some variable $URL.

How can I make MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK_LOCATION point to this URL if it is defined at the beginning of the installation.

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK ""
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK_LOCATION ""
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

Thanks,
May

Since you won't know the url at compile time, I think you will need to set it with a finish page pre function.

Add this right before your "!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH":
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE "FinishPre"

Then add the Pre function:
Function FinishPre
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "State" "$URL"
FunctionEnd

You will want to check for sure what Field # it is. Run your installer, and when it gets to the finish page, browse out to C:\Documents and Settings\<logonName>\Local Settings\Temp\nsvFE.tmp (where nsvFE.tmp is the newest folder). In this folder, will be the ioSpecial.ini, open it and confirm the Field # for that link.

This, by the way, is all in: C:\Program Files\NSIS\Docs\Modern UI\Readme.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jnuw for the quick reply.
I did:
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE FinishPre
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK ""
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK_LOCATION ""
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

Function FinishPre
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "State" "$0"
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Text" "web site: http://$0/SiteService.asmx"
FunctionEnd

And it works
:)
Thanks.....
