Archive: NSIS strange behaviour after compile


NSIS strange behaviour after compile
Well, NSIS is great installer.

So I decided to use it, but I need it translated in my native language. I downloaded the sources, the tools (compilers,etc). I am able to compile both the EXEHEAD and MAKENSIS, but after making installable .exe and after running it, NSIS is having strange behavior - the main windows appears centered on the screen, but the child items (buttons, text, edit fields) appear on the upper left part of the screen. In this time, I'm able to move main window (which is almost blank, only the copyright info and version is on it), but the other elements stay in the upper left corner.

Any idea? I suspect the tools I'm using, but I cannot be sure.


My setup
All I can tell you is that it worked fine for me with the following setup :-

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Professional Edition
November 2001 Platform SDK
Windows NT 2000 SP2
