NSIS version 2.34
Hello,
The place I am working right now uses NSIS v2.34 and they are afraid to upgrade to the latest version of NSIS. the thing is I am using a NSDialog to make a custom page, the scripts compiles but when I run the application and reach the custom page the application crashes :(. In my personal machine I have the latest version of NSIS and the application works fine. Does any one knows how can I solve this without upgrading NSIS? If I upgrade NSIS it will affect the other script installers????

Always use the latest version of NSIS. Usually scripts are backwards compatible. If they want to try it out just make a backup of the original NSIS folder.

Other solution would be to use InstallOptions. Apparently 2.34 is the first to include nsDialogs, lots of improvements/fixes since then. Or convince them to upgrade and show that the latest version works perfectly fine while the old one doesn't).

If you want to use a newer nsDialogs build, you probably need to pick one from before the plugin api changes, 2.42 or something like that maybe (But you really should use the latest nsis version to get all Vista/Win7 fixes etc)
