Adding label to MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
Hi all
Please help - I am quite desperate
I understood the nice example on the nsis site for adding a link to the welcome page:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Add_link_to_welcome_page_(MUI)

But I need to add a label to the installation_page!!!

The label has to be dynamic - once the installer will get to a certain point it should change its text.

I couldn't find any documntation for that.
Can anyone help me with that?
Thanks a Million
Danny

The InstFiles page is not an InstallOptions page unlike the Welcome and Finish pages. You must edit the resource executable with Resource Hacker. The resource executables are under Contrib\UIs (modern.exe).

Will there be any other way to do this in the future? Maybe in next version of MUI?

Do I need another installation

You could also add labels and other controls at run time by calling CreateWindow/CreateWindowEx with the System plug-in.

Thanks man
The Hacker seems like a nice tool but I am having difficulties to associate the dialog numbers to the pages.
Reading the manual didn't help much
Did you use it before?
