MUI start menu folder browser: autocompletion

rowedav · 16th April 2006, 22:09

When I set a default installation folder with InstallDir, I like to end it with a '\' to stop the browser automatically re-appending the last part of the string.

Is there a similar way to stop the browser on the MUI Start Menu Folder page appending the default folder name to the folder that the user chooses?

Many thanks

David

I think you'll have to get the text of the edit control that holds the installation dir, and add to the string your "\", and send it back to edit control...

There's no MUI setting for it, but you can edit Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh and remove /autoadd from the StartMenu plug-in calls.
