I need a little help with this script.
I'm using the following script to create an installer for my program.
The problem with this script is that it always sets the file association without asking permission.
Can some body help to change the script in such away that two checkboxes will be added
with the text:

"Associate my_program with the following file extensions"

[checkbox] .abc

[checkbox] .def

Here is the script:

Please do not paste large amounts of code in the forums. Use pastebin or an attachment instead.

What you need to do is create a custom nsDialogs page. There is an excellent tutorial in the nsDialogs readme.
