User prompting

Can I get a script to prompt the user for something, and to store the value it gets back into $x?

No I don't think that would help. I need to prompt the user to type in a name for a key in the registry (or if you like, a password to continue installing with although that's not actually what I'm after). When I need it to, I want a box pop up and say "What blah blah blah... <text field>"

Your've just described Install Options, so what is wrong with it?

I think they are asking about an inputbox prompt. This isn't possible with Install Options. If I have time I'll try to create another extension for this.

Hi rainwater,

take a look at:
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.


I know it's not exactly what you want to do, but it at least allows you to ask for a RegCode and a RegName and to check it...

Input boxes like the MessageBox command do indeed not exist in NSIS (yet???)

Good luck, Hendri.

Hopefully that weenie Justin will create an extension for this, or (as it should be) just shove the thing right into the NSIS code.
