InstallOptions error
I have encountered some problems with a custom page in my installer, i first tried it without any file in my sections
( ;File ... instead of File ... :) ) and every things worked perfectly :cool: ,
but when i re add the files i want my installer to decompress, the custom page take about 1 minute to appear
and when i finally set my preferences (thanks to checkboxes textbox ...)and clik Next it does install the whole thing
but does not execute the code of the custom page leave function :confused: .

You need a ReserveFile instruction in there.

Edit: See section 5 in the Modern UI manual.

Ok, thanks a lot, i din't make the link between this and my problem.

I added a ReserveFile "options.ini" at the beginning of my script, but it still doesn t work whith Solid Lzma (take a while to show the page), and when i remove the flag solid, it shows the custom page correctly but do not always do what's it has to do (ie Writing in $INSTDIR\parms.ini some text) ...
However i think my script for writing in the file is quite simple, is it ?

Still don't understand :S

Regarding to custom pages, I think it's advised to use either MUI along with InstallOptions or MUI2 along with nsDialogs.

In fact, i don't tink my actual problem is due to my CustomPage, but it might be because of it creates a file in the installdir before the whole installation, so maybe it's deleted (:eek:) or the script doesn't have the time to create it, because just after my leave custompage it's the instfiles page.

Just making a suggestion :) .

PS : i'm rewriting the script with nsDialogs in order to check it out.

OK, I solved my problem, it was not due to the custom page but it was caused by the fact that nsis (With FileOpen) seems to not work with opening a file in a a inexistant folder (ig. creating a file in a new folder),it actually creates the folder but it does not create the file.

So I put my piece of script which create this file at the end of the installation(when the folder already exists) with the function ".onInstSuccess".

C ya :cool:
