How to reference translated MUI/standard strings
Hi,

seems that I got lost in the MUI Macros / documentation.
It's either completely easy or difficult/impossible:
I just want to use a standard translated string in the MUI environment in a MessageBox in my installer.

e.g.
MessageBox MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK "${MUI_TEXT_ABORT_TITLE}"

which does not work, as it outputs the string "${MUI_TEXT_ABORT_TITLE}" instead of "Installation aborted"

Can anybody tell me what I'm missing?

I already searched through the MUI/MUI2 macros, the forum and the examples but could not find an example.
All solutions are the other way around: How to declare cutom strings in several languages....


Please note that you should use parenthesis - () instead of curly braces - {} for language strings.
("$(MUI_TEXT_ABORT_TITLE)" instead of "${MUI_TEXT_ABORT_TITLE}")
See chapter 4.9.15.2 from the NSIS manual.


Hi JPDERUITER,

As I assumed...something simple, stupid... :-)
