Archive: Installing to a UNC Path using MUI
Installing to a UNC Path using MUI
When the user is asked to browse for a directory, if the user would rather type a UNC path (i.e. \\server\asim\blahblahblah) is there a way to allow this?
Currently it just greys out the install button if this is typed into the box.
Thanks for the help!
Searching the forum I found:

Neither of the solutions in that thread worked; I guess ill keep searching
Currently it just greys out the install button if this is typed into the box.This does NOT happen in my installer which was built using NSIS 2.45 and the old version of MUI (not MUI version 2).
Im using MUI version 2 now, still doesnt work.
The path I am typing is correct:
\\angleton1\server\ASIMBridge
It just keeps the "continue" button greyed out still.
The problem might be caused by something in your script.
Try compiling the Examples\Modern UI\Basic.nsi script that comes with NSIS then run Basic.exe and see if you can select a UNC path when you get to the "Choose Install Location" page.
It does not work.
The problem is, I am not browsing towards the path, I am literally typing in the UNC Path install.
The problem is, I am not browsing towards the path, I am literally typing in the UNC Path install.That is what I am doing! In fact I have not even tried browsing to the path.
wtf! Im not sure why its not working, but I just type in the path and the next button is disabled still
Have you tried using Windows Explorer to navigate to that UNC path?
yup it works lol
