Cannot get CheckBox to appear

[ewiener]

I am trying to create a simple installer and on the finishpage I want to have 3 checkboxes:

1 for running the app after the install
1 for creating a Desktop shortcut
1 for creating a QuickLaunch shortcut

I am using MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN for running the app, and MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME for creating the Desktop shortcut. Those both work fine. However, I am having a tough time getting the QuickLaunch checkbox to show. Here are the functions I am using, which were obtained from another thread on here:


!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE QL_PRE
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW QL_SHOW
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE QL_LEAVE

Function QL_PRE
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "HWND"
SetCtlColors $0 0x000000 0xFFFFFF
FunctionEnd

Function QL_SHOW
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Settings" "NumFields" "8"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Type" "CheckBox"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Text" "&Create Quicklaunch Shortcut"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Left" "120"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Right" "315"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Top" "130"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Bottom" "140"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "State" "1"
FunctionEnd

Function QL_LEAVE
ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "State"
StrCmp $0 "0" end
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
CreateShortCut "$QUICKLAUNCH\$(^Name).lnk" "$INSTDIR\Launch jEdit.exe"
end:
FunctionEnd


I checked the IOSpecial.INI while it is running and the entry for the CheckBox (Field 6) does appear, but it never shows up in the installer.

EDIT: Also, the QuickLaunch shortcut IS made during the install. It appears after clicking the "Next" button on the welcome screen.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Quick update:

I re-made my installer script and curiously the CheckBox entry in the iospecial.ini for the QuickLaunch appears once on the finishpage, but the checkbox still doesn't show.

Here is a screenshot of iospecial.ini opened in the HM NIS InstallOptions Editor (while installer is running on finishpage)

And here is a screenshot of how it looks while running

You should add the creation of the checkbox into the pre function and the control colors thing into the show function.

Damn it. It works perfectly now. Thank you!
