multiple uninstall sections with MUI

hailm · 15th June 2006, 04:28

Hola,

I'm trying to create a MUI installer with muliple uninstall sections. I can't seem to get the uninstall section description text to show up on uninstall sections. Here's my test script (below) which is just a mod of InstallOptions.nsi. This looks like a bug to me. Can anybody make this work?

cheers

;---------------------
;Include Modern UI

!include "MUI.nsh"

;General

;Name and file
Name "Modern UI Test 0.1"
OutFile "InstallOptions.exe"

;Default installation folder

;Get installation folder from registry if available

;Language strings

;Uninstaller Sections

Section un.Section1

Section un.Section2
;ADD YOUR OWN FILES HERE...

SectionEnd

Move the descriptions below the sections.

You should check the makensis compiler output more often as well. No doubt you'd have warnings for this.

I can't get the script in my earlier post to show my descriptions in the uninstaller sections no matter where I put the descriptions. Also, I get this warning message when the script is compiled:

2 warnings:
unknown variable/constant "{Section1}" detected, ignoring (macro:MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT:5)
unknown variable/constant "{Section2}" detected, ignoring (macro:MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT:5)

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Ah I see...

Section un.Section1 must be:
Section un.Section1 Section1
and...
Section un.Section2 must be:
Section un.Section2 Section2

Afrow UK,

Thanks, the combination of Joost's suggestion of putting the description below the uninstall section plus your suggestion fixed the problem!

Thanks!
