AllowRootDirInstall not working for me

Having a bit of difficulty with AllowRootDirInstall in the code below. I still cannot select (for example) c:\ or \\SHARENAME\

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance... Neil

Works fine for me. What version of NSIS are you using?

NSIS v2.0b3
MakeNSISW 1.9

Works fine for me on b3 too. Where exactly can't you select C:\ and \\server\share?

I have two directory selection pages. In both of them the "next" button becomes greyed out if I type in c:\ or \\server\share

Can you attach the stripped script (no File commands) and a compiled example installer?

Ok found the problem in a function .onVerifyInstDir which was checking for root directory. Thanks for your help.
