Passing Var to Registry
I'm looking to ask a user to input 3 strings, then input those into the registry as program settings. I've looked around a little but couldn't make huge sense of the best(only?) way to do this. Was wondering if someone would offer a minute suggestion? ^.^

Thanks RW. Although, for a nab such as I, that is a little hard to comprehend ;] I don't think I can make out even the start and finish of each way that you manage the registry :]

MUI
Does the MUI.nsh have any generic input pages that are easily customisable? I guess that would be easiest :]
Thanks for any helps.

Hm, perhaps I don't understand it right, but isn't what you want quite simple?
Just make a custom- page with some textfields and labels, read the user-input in the leave-function and then just use WriteRegStr to store it in the registry.

That's exactly it Cheryll, ye. But reading through the Manual at this point of light comprehension is just too much, it's like throwing crowbars into the cogs. A small example or tutorial which touches that exact syntax would be ideal, more important than a solution is understanding, of course.

If anyone knows of such a thing, I'd be delighted to hear :) thanks for any help.

I extracted the essential parts from one of my installers. Perhaps that will help. Btw. HM NIS Edit has an editor for ini-files. Makes it quite easy to build them. If you didn't know this.

;write it to the registry

WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\${APP_NAME}\" "UserInput2" $2

Oh, thankyou :) I just found the tutorial referring to the installer options feature :] I think I'm sorted now. tyty!

hungryOrb
11th March 2008 16:32 UTC

Does the order of the text dictate the order of the pages? :O

cheryll
11th March 2008 16:49 UTC

Well, the pages will be displayed in the same order in that they are written in the code, if that's what you're asking...

hungryOrb
11th March 2008 17:01 UTC

Yes, exactly :) I hadn't noticed any other indexing code of pages, but then, I'm not very observant :) thanks.
I hope you don't mind me asking questions continuously, you can always ignore or whatever ^.^

Erm, the MUI macros are usually the start of the pages right? And what about the end of the pages? Do they only end before the "un." parts? At compile time, does the code get re-ordered to link the sections up to everything etc?

If you hadn't guessed I'm a simple guy who must associate visually xD

hungryOrb
11th March 2008 17:24 UTC

Ahm. I followed the tutorial, and your example, and the code ended up between the auto-generated "!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY" and the beginning of the start menu !defines. It compiles, so I guess there is no error, but there is no page in the installer ^.^ This means it's in the wrong place doesn't it?

EEK.

Hm, not sure I understand what you mean.
You just list the installerpages, then the uninstaller pages.
The functions and sections come after that. You put the functions that do stuff before the installation before the functions and section that do stuff during the installation.

Have you got the ini-file? And is it in the same directory as the installer file? If yes, please post your code. It's easier if I know what you actually did.

I'm guessing you know what you are looking for, so I didn't bother editing any of it out. Thanks for taking the time, I admire you for it.

At this point, I was attempting to follow the tutorial which is downloadable in a .doc from the tutorials main site, while using your example as reference :]

Edit. Sorry forgot to add that yes, the .ini file is in the same folder as the script.

Acctualy, the whole order is messed up.
Try order it like this

- Variables, Naming and stuff
- pages (just the pages and stuff you have to define for the page like so:


; Welcome page
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
; Directory page
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
LangString CUSTOM_TITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Enter your Login Details."
LangString CUSTOM_SUBTITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} " "
Page custom Custom1Page
; Start menu page
var ICONS_GROUP
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_NODISABLE
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER "Draco SSC"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT "${PRODUCT_UNINST_ROOT_KEY}"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY "${PRODUCT_UNINST_KEY}"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "${PRODUCT_STARTMENU_REGVAL}"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $ICONS_GROUP
; Instfiles page
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
; Finish page
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\DracoSSC.exe"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

-localization and language stuff
-Functions (onInit, then the custompage function, then the sections, then un.onInit, un.Sections, un.onUninstSucces)

Basicly, first tell the installer which pages to use in what order, then follow with the function in the order they will most likely be used. I'm not certain if everything has to be in exact order, but it's easier to read and comprehend that way at least.

Oh, and if you got a custom Page called CustomPage you got to call the function the same.

Thanks very much Cheryll, I'll try to follow your advice. I've tried following some learning resources, but don't find them thorough enough, while I find the manual a little too tough to wade through ;]

edit1: Sorry, been dumped with some work that has taken time, I hope I haven't made you waste any time checking for replies ^.^

Edit2: Oh, my custom page is simply called Custom, so I guess the function would be 'Custom'.
