Mui_finishpage_text
Hi,

one more little question: I work with MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT: So i have the following code in my script:

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT "Thank you for installing. Please look in $INSTDIR\logfiles

and later

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

But my finisher page cannot render this text correctly. In the case a user select/browse another folder (as the command InstallDir says) for installing, my finisher page isn't able to render the text of the path correctly. Mostly there is a letter missing ....

Any idea?

Thanks very much

Build your text dynamically during runtime.
Do not use this symbol but simply copy your desired text into variable and use WM_SETTEXT message to set this text to appropriate label in finish page.

See Finish.nsh page to find the handle to the appropriate label.

Finish page is saved in NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI 2\Pages\Finish.nsh.

The variable for desired label is $mui.FinishPage.Text

So use SendMessage $mui.FinishPage.Text ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$VARIABLE_WITH_YOUR_TEXT_HERE"

Do this after Finish page is initilized - the best is in it's onShow function.
