ini file and nsi file problem
here i attached my INI file and NSI file.
in korea, it's hard to find an example or sample of NSI script. and i know i'm a quiet slow learner. but i'm working hard.

===== my folder structre: ==========
1280WTF
1680WTF
1680bifWTF
data
etc
Fonts
Interface
Raid

now i have 2 questions.
Q1. how can i choose 1 of 3 WTF folders?
i really don't know how so i tried to copy every folders first. and then if i choose one by clicking radiobutton, the installer should rename it to "WFT" and erage other 2 WFT folders. but it doesn't work.
when i choose 1280WFT, i want it to extract 1280WFT, data, etc, Fonts, Interface and Raid. with check box, it works but i want to make it with radiobutton because i want to show the users resolution image.

Q2. when i use
" File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini "AccountInf.ini"
" File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf1.ini "AccountInf1.ini"
background color of INI file doesn't match.

i want this color looks natural
please, give me some hints, i'm ready to study and learn!

For question 1, I'd just use the custom page to set your own variables. Then, deal with the folders during the actual install (from within the sections). You may have to come up with your own logic in the page's leave function.

For question #2 (the screen background), have a look at the UMUI thread here: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....installoptions

There's a post that reads like this:

If you want your page will be automatically skinned you have to use the INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY or INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY_RETURN macros.
The init dialog doesn't do this because if you set your own color into your pre function thes will be erase by the INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW, INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW_RETURN macros.

You should probably also read the UMUI documentation to see if there are any other special needs. (Personally, I've never used UMUI, so I don't have a whole lot of hands-on experience.)

can someone give me a hint about usage of radiobutton?
i don't have any knowledge about programming and

i tried write my script like ============================
Function MonitorLeave
; At this point the user has either pressed Next or one of our custom buttons
; We find out which by reading from the INI file
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Settings" "State"
${Unless} $0 = 0
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 4" "State"
ReadINIStr $1 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 7" "HWND"
ShowWindow $1 $0
StrCmp $0 4 normal1280
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 5" "State"
ReadINIStr $1 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 8" "HWND"
StrCmp $0 5 widenormal
ShowWindow $1 $0
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 6" "State"
ReadINIStr $1 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 9" "HWND"
StrCmp $0 6 widebig
ShowWindow $1 $0
abort

normal1280:
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $INI_RESOLUTION "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 4" "State"
SendMessage $INI_RESOLUTION ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:"

widenormal:
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $INI_RESOLUTION "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 5" "State"
SendMessage $INI_RESOLUTION ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:"

widebig:
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $INI_RESOLUTION "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 6" "State"
SendMessage $INI_RESOLUTION ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:"

StrCmp $INI_RESOLUTION 4 copy1280
StrCmp $INI_RESOLUTION 5 copy1680
StrCmp $INI_RESOLUTION 6 copy1680big

copy1280:
File /a /r "F:\boddalheeUI\1280WTF"
Rename "$INSTDIR\1280WTF" "$INSTDIR\WFT"
Goto end
copy1680:
File /a /r "F:\boddalheeUI\1680WTF"
Rename "$INSTDIR\1680WTF" "$INSTDIR\WFT"
Goto end
copy1680big:
File /a /r "F:\boddalheeUI\1680bigWTF"
Rename "$INSTDIR\1680bigWTF" "$INSTDIR\WFT"
end:
${EndUnless}
FunctionEnd
=========================================================
but it doesn't work at all.
i want it like this way. when user click the first radiobutton(1280:Field 4), run 1280copy.
i think i still don't understand how to get a value of user input in INI.
lots of $ code make me crazy @.@

My suggestion at this point would be for you to start by learning basic scripts before you start messing with advanced stuff like custom pages and interface skins like UMUI.

There's a ton of information and documentation available to you in the NSIS installation directory and on the Wiki. (There's a whole section dedicated to tutorials. You can also find information by searching this forum.

For your current problem, you probably should do the file copy stuff from inside a section. (See this forum thread.)

i alreay read all the examples and docs in my NSIS folder and i have read that thread many times. i saw may $1 $2 $3 $4 $R0 things like these.
what matter is, i still don't know where to find information about using $ stuffs. but i'm keep working on it. i hope i will find a way soon :)
Thanks always Comperio!

i checked this and this page

and i wrote like ===============================

Function MonitorLeave
; At this point the user has either pressed Next or one of our custom buttons
; We find out which by reading from the INI file
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Settings" "State"
${Unless} $0 = 0

ShowWindow $1 $0
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 6" "State"
ReadINIStr $1 "$PLUGINSDIR\AccountInf.ini" "Field 9" "HWND"
ShowWindow $1 $0
abort

end:
${EndUnless}
FunctionEnd
and in the section ==================================

ReadINIStr $R0 "$INSTDIR\Account.ini" "Field 4" "State"
StrCmp $R0 1 0 +4
File /a /r "F:\boddalheeUI\1280WTF"
Rename "$INSTDIR\1280WTF" "$INSTDIR\WTF"
Goto done

ReadINIStr $R0 "$INSTDIR\Account.ini" "Field 5" "State"

Rename "$INSTDIR\1680WTF" "$INSTDIR\WTF"
Goto done

ReadINIStr $R0 "A$INSTDIR\ccount.ini" "Field 6" "State"
StrCmp $R0 1 0 done
File /a /r "F:\boddalheeUI\1680bigWTF"
Rename "$INSTDIR\1680bigWTF" "$INSTDIR\WTF"
done:

=====================================
