Uninstaller, removal of header text
Hi

I've read a lot of post, the documentation etc...

I cannot remove the text "Uninstall my application blabla".. at the upper left of the application. It comes over my left branding (or top) and I really want to get rid of it.

For the install phase, I've been able to found in the documentation the right function to override, it's :

!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGUIInit

and then

Function myGUIInit ; nom arbitraire
skinnedbutton::skinit /NOUNLOAD "$PLUGINSDIR\button.bmp" ; good
Pop $0
StrCmp $0 "success" noerror
MessageBox MB_ICONEXCLAMATION|MB_OK "skinned button error: $0"
noerror:

!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE preFonction ; Pour ne pas avoir de texte dans le graphique
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW showFunction ; Pour ne pas avoir de texte dans le graphique
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT " " " "

FunctionEnd

and


; CETTE MÉTHODE PERMET, ainsi que preFonction, de supprimer le texte et sous-texte en haut du dialogue.
; Doit être appellée juste avant !insertmacro dialogue
Function showFunction
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT " " " "
FunctionEnd

; CETTE MÉTHODE PERMET, ainsi que showFunction, de supprimer le texte et sous-texte en haut du dialogue.
; Doit être appellée juste avant !insertmacro dialogue
Function preFonction
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT " " " "
FunctionEnd

But, how can I do the same this for the UNINSTALLER ?
I'm really tired, can't count the hours in the last 3 weeks I've tried to find that. It's probably very very easy, but I can't figure out.

Thanks in advance for ANY help.

In the pages' show functions, use GetDlgItem and SendMessage with ${WM_SETTEXT}. There are lots of examples of this.
Use Resource Hacker to identify which static texts you want to change in UIs\modern.exe.

Is there any harder way to make that?
Ish... I can't beleive there is no simpler way. I mean, it's nearly faster to hex edit the installer to remove that string.
Isn't this string the same for everyone? If yes, I could simply cut&paste instead of resource hacking, I don't want to do advance modification.

If I use UMUI, is it the same as normal NSIS?

Why can't I find any example on the net, a .nsi, that does exactly that?
