"Abort" f*** up [Archive]

Just experimenting with the "abort" command. I have it in a function (not a callback one) and it does not work:

1)With "BCGgradient" the blue background screen will just stay and you have to kill the process. Without it will exit, but the installer.exe will still be locked by the OS (cannot delete it) afterwards.

2)It also never displayed any "UserMessage".
(But I use "AutoClose on", so that might be a reason if it is shown in the installer window...)

1) Strange - I've never experienced this myself. Could you create a small .NSI file that causes this and email it to me (wiked_edge@yahoo.com)? I'll look into it.

2) This is normal. The message is posted above the progress bar (where "Completed" would normally go) and added to the installation details list box.

Mmmh, tried it. The only way to reproduce was by both setting HideWindow and SetAutoClose true within the function.

The installer window was hidden then and I couldn't hit CANCEL to exit the installer when calling abort.

I'll tell you if I can reproduce it again...
