Problem with directoryShow function: a bug?

With the following codes, $INSTDIR is empty in directoryShow function, while it is "C:\Test" in directoryPre function. Is it a bug?

Name "Test"



OutFile "Test.exe"



InstallDir "C:\Test"



PageEx directory

  PageCallbacks directoryPre directoryShow

PageExEnd

Page components

Page instfiles



Function directoryPre

  MessageBox MB_OK "directoryPre: $INSTDIR"

FunctionEnd

Function directoryShow

  MessageBox MB_OK "directoryShow: $INSTDIR"

FunctionEnd

Me too NSIS 2.06!
But does *NOT* happens to me...

Hmm! Which OS? Mine is Win98SE.

I have tested it under WinXP Pro, Win2000 and Win98SE Oses. The problem happens under WinXP Pro and Win2000.

Messing with $INSTDIR is not exactly the intention of the show function, but this is still a valid problem. Open a bug report on the SourceForge project page for it, I don't have time to fix it now.

I have submitted a bug report: ID 1209843.

Kichik, this function may be useful when the user want to disable/hide some controls by checking $INSTDIR. In my installer, I have two directory pages, one of which is a folder for copying some files if they do not exist there.

I've finally taken the time to look into it and found the problem. The bug was fixed and the fix will be present in version 2.13 which should be released next weekend.

Thanks, it sounds good.
