ExDlg - InstallOptions little brother
I was bored and I wanted a quick way so that I could use the VC++ IDE or any other resource editor to create dialogs in NSIS.. the result ExDlg ;)

quite patchy at the moment but has start menu chooser thingy etc ..

It is different to installoptions because you save your dialogs in a .res file and use 'GetWindowText' like functions to get the texts out of memory, they are not written to an ini file like IO..

(source and demo included)..

Hi,

I tried the download, fails to work under NT/2K but looked good in Win98.

Would you mind posting the actual DLL? Or at least the ExDLL.h file that's needed to compile it?

ahh sorry about that as well.. the dll is extracted to your temporary directory onInit.

I must have just forgotten to include the file :(

anyway, here is a zip file with the files.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, on WIN2K the "EXE" failed to install it said something about not being able to load your DLL but no return code. I then got heaps of popups containing numbers such as "1018".
