Variable declarations - Different files.
Hi all,

I have a question/problem dealing with variable declarations.

I have an Installer script that 3 files.
1) main.nsi
2) custompage1.nsi
3) custompage2.nsi

In custompage1.nsi, I declare a global variable that I want to be "seen" in main.nsi and custompage2.nsi.

When I try to reference said variable in main.nsi, it says that its "unknown variable/constant.

Now, I know I can declare it in main.nsi, and that works fine... But I was hoping I could declare the variable in the file that "owns" it...

Is there a way to tell main.nsi / custompage2.nsi that another file that I am including has declared said variable?
Kind of something like "extern" in C?

Thanks!
Scott

Really doesn't work if you !include the custompage.nsh on the top of main.nsi?

Well, it seems to work when in main.nsi.

But if I try to use a variable in custompage2.nsh, that was declared in custompage1.nsi, that appears to fail with a: "unknown variable/constant.

If you include custompage2.nsh in custompage1.nsi and then include custompage1.nsi in your main.nsi then it should be fine.
