Description

Version: 1.0.1.

This plug-in shows custom NSIS pages using compiled resource (.res) files instead of .ini files. This plug-in only works on sections.

Dialogs are made with resource editors. There are 3 special control classes used by this plug-in:

• "DIR_BROWSE" = DirRequest control from InstallOptions.
• "FILE_REQUEST" = FileRequest control from InstallOptions.
• "START_BROWSE" = Simplified Start Menu control. It's somewhat like the Start Menu plug-in, but has some weaknesses like it only detects folders in Start Menu from All Users, can't be able to don't choose a folder, and shows the "./" at the start of the selectable folder names.
