What do you mean be "installation kit"? The actual installer? NSIS installers are for Windows only. If you want to run without a UI, run with /S.

Actually NSIS installers can be successfully run in Linux (I personally tried kubuntu) via wine (emulator for Windows in Linux OS)

Sure you can use Wine but it's still not a native installation (which is what he is implying, otherwise he'd have said).

Hi,

thx for your answers, its working.

Just, in my setup.exe i have three diffrent directory for installation, when I specify the $INSTDIR for one it's working, but the 2 others directory are ignored.

how can I specify more $INSTDIR in the some time?

THX.

Both those pages overcomplicate. The 2nd page is useless as well (that was before DirVar). You can have multiple directory pages (MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY). You just need to !define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $INSTDIR2 before it.

E.g.
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $INSTDIR2
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $INSTDIR3
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY

The only remaining issue is each page will have the same texts so you will need to change them (perhaps just change the header texts). The Modern UI readme tells you how.
