Directory page help!
Hi,

I need to create an installer that show a defined path from the registry, but if that path is incorrect the user needs to be able to point to the correct install path.

As far as i know the MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE is the one that i should use to get the path from the registry but as it is i can't get it to work, any help?

;Directory Page
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT_TOP "Opus Neo Installer"
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT_DESTINATION "The default install location"
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE ReadRegStr $0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Lotus\Domino\1" "DataPath"
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VERIFYONLEAVE

MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE is only used to define a variable name other than $INSTDIR.

You can use it like this:

Var $folder
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $folder
function .onInit
ReadRegStr $folder HKLM "SOFTWARE\Lotus\Domino\1" "DataPath"
functionend

Why not just use InstallDirRegKey?

From what I understand, he/she wants the user to confirm the path before it's used.

You can probably use .onVerifyInstDir .

Or just throw a messagebox error with abort in the page's LEAVE function.

Okay if i remove the !define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VERIFYONLEAVE i can't install unless there is a path.

But as i now works with the code i got from MSG something is wrong in my script. I get an error if i try and install it in a directory when i use the browse button this is after i used the directory page.

Can you find anything there could cause this problem?

In the sections you're not using the path the user entered. You're once again trying to read it from registry.

(Also note that if you have no normal directory page, you don't need to use a separate variable for it. You can simply use the default $INSTDIR variable.)

Oh, and please don't paste large amounts of code. Use an attachment or pastebin.

Yeah, I was under the mistaken impression he needed a second directory page.
