InstallOptions and modified modern.exe not working

dvanesse · 18th October 2006, 09:33

Hi,

because of a huge text to be displayed in an InstallOptions dialogue, I have made a copy of modern.exe (named MyModern.exe) and modified the dialogue 105 (I used ExeScope to change the window and 1044 rectangle sizes).
I have added the following statement to my script
!define MUI_UI ".\MyModern.exe" and I have specified "Rect=1044" in my .ini file
However, no change is taken into account when I compile my script (and no errors are reported): the 1044 rectangle still have the default size at run-time.

Can anybody advise or post a working example ?

Many thanks in advance

Daniel

You could try an absolute path, such as:

!define MUI_UI "${NSISDIR}\contrib\uis\MyModern.exe"

or just:

!define MUI_UI "MyModern.exe"

That is what I tried first, without success :-(

Any other idea ?

There's more than one rectangle that must be resized.

Could anybody send me (or post) a working example of a modified modern.exe file I can use for test purposes or as an example?

Many thanks in advance

Are you using a header image? If you are, you have to change modern_headerbmp.exe and/or modern_headerbmpr.exe, because 105 from those is used for displaying header images.

Yes i am using a hearder image and I have not modified all the modern _xxxx exe files.

Thanks for the advice, I will try.
