Simple NSIS Question

[KMyers]

Hello All,
I am trying to build an installer to automate several installation packages. One of the packages needs an ini file to be placed at c:\config\aconfig.ini . I need to prompt the user to enter a specific value to add to this file. I have spent 6 hours trying to figure this out but everything I try seems to fail.

Can anyone code up a simple example on the best way to do this?

You could use one of the user input plugins that generate a pop-up:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Dialogs_plug-in
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/PassDialog_plug-in

Or you can create a field on a custom page.. e.g.

code:


!include "nsDialogs.nsh"



OutFile "test.exe"



Section

SectionEnd



Var dialog

Var hwnd

Var null



Var ui_ini_keyvalue



Page Custom page.custom.create page.custom.leave

Function page.custom.create

	nsDialogs::Create 1018

	Pop $dialog

	${NSD_CreateGroupBox} 0 0 100% 20% "Please enter the INI key value"

	    Pop $null

	${NSD_CreateText} 5% 8% 90% 8% "Default Value"

	    ; Default values should be handled differently.

	    Pop $ui_ini_keyvalue

		${NSD_OnChange} $ui_ini_keyvalue cb_ini_keyvalue.onchange

    nsDialogs::Show

FunctionEnd



Function cb_ini_keyvalue.onchange

	Pop $hwnd

	${NSD_GetText} $hwnd $0

	MessageBox MB_OK "User changed: [$0]"

FunctionEnd



Function page.custom.leave

	${NSD_GetText} $ui_ini_keyvalue $0

	MessageBox MB_OK "User entered: [$0]"

FunctionEnd
