Large strings build only supports 1024 characters?

[ggoodwin1narr]

I have an installer that posts data to a webservice which may be a string larger than 1024 characters. I tried the Large string builds found from the wiki, but the "string_size" passed via the plugin API is still only 1024. I tried building my own version from the source, but was unsuccessful. Could someone provide me a version that works properly?

Here is a sample script which fails to properly write a file with a string larger than 1024 characters:

code:
!include "WinMessages.nsh"

!include "MUI2.nsh"



Name "TestString"

OutFile "TestString.exe"

BrandingText " "



; The default installation directory

InstallDir $TEMP

    ; 1024 char string

    StrCpy $0 "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

    StrCpy $1 "$0BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"

    StrCpy $2 "$1CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"

    StrCpy $3 "$2DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD"

    StrCpy $4 "$3EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

    StrCpy $5 "$4FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

    StrCpy $6 "$5GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"

    StrCpy $7 "$6HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"    

    

    ; Append a few more characters

    StrCpy $8 "$7QQQQQ"

    

    ; No Q's in message box

    MessageBox MB_OK $8

    

    ; Write to file

    FileOpen $9 TestString.txt w

    FileWrite $9 $8

    FileClose $9

    

    ; Open TestString.txt and notice there's no Q's in it.

Did you forget to copy the stubs?

That was it. Thanks.

I incorrectly assumed those were only for compressing the installer files which I was having no problems with.
