How to new line in MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT
 

I used this code to add copyright on welcome page:

!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT "c ${year} ${developer}\r\n\r\n$(MUI_${MUI_PAGE_UNINSTALLER_PREFIX}TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TEXT)"

It worked just fine until I have upgraded to recent version (from 2.28 to 2.39).

Now I see only my copyright text and "This wizard will guide you through the installation of $(^NameDA)." (English.nsh) Text after "$\r$\n$\r$\n" is dropped.

How can I fix this?

You upgraded to MUI2, right? You should use $\r$\n for a new line.

Joost, thanks for reply
I have tried your solution and the result:
Now I see only copyright text - no "This wizard will guide..."

Also I don't use MUI2 - just bumped NSIS version. NSI script is the same as before.

Am I doing something wrong?

With MUI1, \r\n should work. Can you send me a minimal version of the script, which will compile on my system?

Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here is the script:

code:

  Name "Test Game"

  OutFile "game_setup.exe"

  ;Get installation folder from registry if available

  InstallDirRegKey HKCU "Software\Alawar\My Game" "InstallPath"

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH



  !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM

  !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES



  !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

Right. You're using internal MUI variables, so you cannot really expect such a thing to always be backwards compatible :)

The internal language string no longer contains the newlines in \r\n format which is used by MUI1. If you upgrade to MUI2 and use $\r$\n for the newlines, it should work again.

How can I disable this output from makensis.exe?

How is this related to MUI? you should probably post in the unicode thread
