HowTo: display ReadMe.txt
I'm using Nsis 1.96 for a freeware app. I'd like to show the user a "ReadMe.txt". I can accomplish something very similar with LicenseText and LicenseData, but there is the top message about this being a license. I don't have a problem with changing 'Confirm' to 'Continue'

Is there a way to accomplish this? I tried using !System "wordpad ReadMe.txt", but the Nsis compiler rejected this.

Not a biggie, and I am VERY impressed with Nsis.

Hi paraclete,

try this. Start notepad to view the readme.

So:
Exec '"$WINDIR\notepad.exe" readme.txt'
or:
ExecWait '"$WINDIR\notepad.exe" readme.txt'

Good luck,

Works great. Thanks! I'm starting to figure this out.:up:

I continue to be impressed/amazed at the capabilities of Nsis, especially considering how small it is.

It's small indeed :)
