Strange MessageBox formatting on Vista?
I have the following (two paragraph) message box in my installer. Under XP the message box looks like I expect. Only my line breaks are in the message box, and the box is the width that I expected it to be.
Under Vista, however, NSIS seems to be inserting additional line breaks (one before 'Support@mycompan.com' and another before 'worry'.) This makes the message box really ugly under Vista (looks great under XP). We do not want to eliminate our line breaks, as that creates a message box under XP that is incredibly long and difficult to read.
Anyone know why this is happening? (Please, no comments on size of the box, contents or desired layout--it is what my customer wants--changing the layout would require a very convincing argument as to why it won't work the way he wants it.)
MessageBox MB_ICONEXCLAMATION|MB_OK "Important: If you have a firewall it may alert you that$\"MyApplication.exe$\"$\r$\n is attempting to access the Internet. Please allow access to ensure $\r$\nwe receive your e-mail subscription.$\r$\n$\r$\nAlso, please be sure to whitelist the e-mail address support@MyCompany.com$\r$\nin your e-mail program (if you don't know what this means, don't worry$\r$\nabout it)."
The result should be (and are on XP):
Important: If you have a firewall it may alert you that "MyApplication.exe"
is attempting to access the Internet. Please allow access to ensure
we receive your e-mail subscription.
Also, please be sure to whitelist the e-mail address support@MyCompany.com
in your e-mail program (if you don't know what this means, don't worry
about it).In Vista we get:
Important: If you have a firewall it may alert you that "MyApplication.exe"
is attempting to access the Internet. Please allow access to ensure
we receive your e-mail subscription.
Also, please be sure to whitelist the e-mail address
support@MyCompany.com
