Bug $PLUGINSFOLDER

Hello everyone,

I'm new to NSIS and this forum!
Well I think I found a BUG😁
Acording to documentation $PLUGINS folder automaticaly removed when the Installer close.But this not happens when you set, SetReeBootFlag true on Uninstall section, and using Finish Page(MODERN UI) , and user select to reboot.

Well! what you guys think! Am I missing something here, or is that a really BUG!

PS. I got the latest NSIS

Works fine for me. Make sure all plug-ins are unloaded, there are no files in use and that the folder is not the current folder (set using SetOutPath).

try and put the Section $Plugins also in the Uninstaller section and see what happens ? 🙂

Again acording to the documentation MODERN_UI handles to auto unload all plugins when the dialog close. And I'm not using any special Plug=ins. just the basic ioSpecial.ini.

And please note if you hit Finish-Button without selecting the REBOOT option then all is fine. You have to choose the REBOOT option.

If you still think I'm wrong , please contact me at auddy@gawab.com , I'll send you a sample.

After some more testing kichik has discovered it might be a Windows 9x issue. I'm using XP so that's why I could not reproduce it.

You are using Windows 9x right?

rainmanp7, it's not a section but a folder for temporary storage. It's has nothing to do with including sections.

Yeah! That's right!

Are you sure this is 9x ussue?.....

If yes, is there any solution for that!😱 😱
Its verry important to my current porject!
