Dynamic variable for use with InstTypeSetText
Is there any way to declare or use arrays (as in C/C++), because InstTypeSetText needs a variable. This global setup will read installtypes (1..100) from ini-file.
I know there are a NSISArray, but can't use it with InstTypeSetText

Some of the code I want to fix:

Var varSetupTypes[100] <--- Will not work in NSIS


StrCpy $varSetupIndex 0
LoopSetupTypes_Begin:
Push $varSetupIndex

Call Function_ReadSetupTypeData

${If} $varSetupIndex = 100
Goto LoopSetupTypes_End
${EndIf}

IntOp $varSetupIndex $varSetupIndex + 1
Goto LoopSetupTypes_Begin
LoopSetupTypes_End:

Function Function_ReadSetupTypeData

Var /GLOBAL varType

Pop $0 //1st time it's 0, 2nd it's 1 and so on

StrCpy $varType ${defIniFile_Type}$0

ReadINIStr $varSetupTypes[$0] ..\setup.ini "Setup Types" $varType

InstTypeSetText $0 $varSetupTypes[$0]

FunctionEnd

We have a working global setup in InstallShield, but we want to move to NSIS.

Nope, no array support. You'll have to use a custom page to display the combo box or wait for the InstTypeSetText issue to be resolved.
