Install Page Behavior
How do I change the install page to show the component name that is being installed and not the file name (just like NSIS installer itself) ?


Use combination of SetDetailsPrintand DetailPrint.


At the beginning of the first section write:

SetDetailsPrint none
DetailPrint "Section 1"

And at the beginning of the second section write:

DetailPrint "Section 2"

etc.


I wanted the user to see in the status bar what component is being installed and the whole list of files in the listbox.

Write in the beginning of each section:

SetDetailsPrint textonly
DetailPrint "Installing NSIS Core Files..."
SetDetailsPrint listonly
....

Thanks for the tips
