Problem with directory

Hi!
I have a problem with installation directory on NSIS.
Why appear this directory in my setup file?



The code was generated by HM NSI Edit, but i think it's no important.

Help me!

Take a look at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Starlight.exe. It probably contains that path. When you use InstallDirRegKey and the registry key exists, that's what the directory page is going to show.

Very thank you!
Another little question: why in the installation directory don't display "C:\Programs\Starlight 1" but "C:\Programs\Starlight 1\" ?

Because that is the path stored in the registry?
A good way to clean up the $INSTDIR path is to move it on and back off the stack (whenever the contents of the $INSTDIR variable is changed it is validated by the installer).



 Push $INSTDIR

 Pop $INSTDIR
I'm not quite sure why it isn't validated already, because if I use StrCpy $INSTDIR "C:\Temp\" in .onInit, C:\Temp\ is the path I get on the Directory page. However if I use the above code just afterwards it becomes C:\Temp instead (no trailing backstroke).

You need to put this in your directory pages' PRE function (use !define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE DirectoryPre).

Problem unsolved 🙁

In other setup file build with NSIS there isn't the backslash at the end!
