Install Options: No OK Button
I've been using Install Options quite sucessfully to install the Gnucleus Gnutella client across my campus, but I can't the the Install Options dialogue to show the OK button. If I resize the bottom portion of the window I can finally see the button. I have tried adding a label below the OK position hoping the window would resize, but no luck. I am running Windows XP Professional, but I get the same problem with my roommates Windows 98 computer. Any ideas? I'll attach a screenshot; the part in red is what doesn't show up without resizing. Below is my options.ini.

The part in red won't show unless the window is resized...strange. Anyone else having this problem on WinXP or Win98?

oops
Seems I forgot WriteINIStr $TEMP\options.ini Settings ParentWnd $HWNDPARENT.
Maybe I should look a little at my code next time...

:) Fine, because I've tested your script and it works fine on for me ...

is this working okay for you now? if you continue to have problems, let me know and I'll work it out for you.

I've tested IO on XP before so it should be working fine.
There is a redraw issue on 98 that I haven't addressed yet, but I should have 98 installed soon and take care of it.

anyway, let me know if you still have troubles with the OK button.

Hi,

I'm testing a very small INI from the command line and I have a problem with the OK button as well.

The system icon also appears to be corrupt or chopped up.

The other issue I have is checkboxes etc are not documented, and no samples supplied with the download, it should include at least those used for screen dumps on the homepage and a sample NSI/EXE.

Oops, sorry, I forgot to mention I'm using Windows 2000 SP2.

could you post the INI file you are using?
thanks,

My own INI does it, the one posted above does it, as does:

"Installoptions anything"

Since there is no error checking it still displays the panel with the problem although in my case the top part of the button is visible.

Read the documentation about the HWDPARENT string. You _must_ write to the options.ini before running the program with the HWNDPARENT number or else it won't draw right.

WriteINIStr $TEMP\options.ini Settings ParentWnd $HWNDPARENT

Thanks for the info, I might wait for a release with all the feature fixed (even if some are documented).

I haven't got the time to build an installer for every test. I'll wait until I can test from the command line...

I've got plenty of other things that need doing...

Bye
