Any ideas?

I hate when that happens, once you ask for help, you find out yourself.......

Quotation marks are pretty helpful once in a while, here the fixed script.

!macro _CheckforIllegalCharacters String Characters



	;String	String to check

	;Characters List of characters with no delimiter " must be escaped $\"	



	StrLen $R0 "${Characters}"

	StrCpy $R3 0

	

	${FOR} $R1 0 $R0

		StrCpy $R2 "${Characters}" 1 $R1

		${WordFind} "${String}" "$R2" "*" $R3		

		

		${IF} $R3 > 0

			;DetailPrint "Found character $R2 in ${String}"		

			Push $R2

			${EXITFOR}

		${ENDIF}		

	${NEXT}

		

	

!macroend

!define CheckforIllegalCharacters `!insertmacro _CheckforIllegalCharacters`  

A more elegant solution: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/StrCSpn,...for_characters
I use them in a header file with macro wrappers for the calls.
