Reading Custom Page
I have searched many places and tried different ways to read from a custom page, but things still do not work. I am looking for some help. Here are the relevant code shown in oder of processing (things exist in different, included, files)

Var Database_Server ; Database server location
Var Database_Database ; Database to use
Var Database_Username ; Username to connect with
Var Database_Password ; Password to connect with

#----- PreDsnPage
# Prepare the DSN custom page for action
Function PreDsnPage

!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Liebert Autotest Suite Setup" "ODBC Datasource Configuration"
!insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "DSN.ini"

FunctionEnd

#----- PostDsnPage
# Copy the data entered on the DSN custom page.
Function PostDsnPage

ReadINIStr $Database_Server "DSN.ini" "Field 5" "State"
ReadINIStr $Database_Database "DSN.ini" "Field 6" "State"
ReadINIStr $Database_Username "DSN.ini" "Field 8" "State"
ReadINIStr $Database_Password "DSN.ini" "Field 9" "State"

MessageBox MB_OK "Server: $Database_Server"
MessageBox MB_OK "Database: $Database_Database"
MessageBox MB_OK "Username: $Database_Username"
MessageBox MB_OK "Password: $Database_Password"

FunctionEnd

#----- .onInit
# Verifies that LAS is not already installed and then copies
# default directory locations to variables
Function .onInit

...

#----- Extract the Datasource custom page file
!insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT "DSN.ini"

FunctionEnd

The message boxes that I have to display the input display blanks.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.


ReadINIStr... but where is that ini? Is it extracted properly into pluginsdir?
If so you should add:
ReadINIStr $Database_Server "$PLUGINSDIR\DSN.ini" "Field 5" "State"


Re: Reading Custom Page
Hi there!

I'd suggest using


ReadINIStr $Database_Username "$PLUGINSDIR\DSN.ini" "Field 8" "State"


or


!insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Database_Username "DSN.ini" "Field 8" "State"


Use whatever you like best.

Cheers

@Red Wine:

Bullseye! Hit enter on the same time!


That would be the problem. Thank you both.
