Label Positioning Problem [MUI - InstallOptions]

I am currently trying to position two labels in the button bar of a custom Welcome window. All my attempts of doing so failed as of right now.

(Desired Result: Version and copyright label.)


I have tried in a lot of ways to make it work but has failed. Here is the code I use to make the rest of the interface show up.



!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Settings" "NumFields" "4"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Settings" "NextButtonText" "Connect"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Settings" "CancelButtonText" "Cancel"



!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 2" "Text" "Welcome!"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_wRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 2" "Bottom" "24"



!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 3" "Top" "31"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 3" "Bottom" "120"



!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Type"   "DropList"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Text"   "DropList"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "State"   "Server 1"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Left"   "120"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Right"  "315"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Top"    "120"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "Bottom" "160"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 4" "ListItems" "Server 1|Server 2|Server 3"
Any ideas?

From a quick forum search:
Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

Might be a solution about what you're looking for.

I have tried adding the label manually in the resource file, but I can't seem to change the text of the label via SendMessage. 



GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1045

SendMessage $0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: Version 1.9 [OEM]"
The code above doesn't work (My label has a control id of 1045 in the resource file)

Edit: Nevermind, got it to work. Thanks

Give a try to this:

GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1045
EnableWindow $0 1
SendMessage $0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 1 "STR:Version 1.9 [OEM]"
EnableWindow $0 0
