	~~== NSIS Details view ==~~		Hello would you mind stating which blog pltfaorm you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

	~~While performing operations in a .NET method,~~ you ~~may want~~ to ~~write progress messages to the Details view in NSIS. rbchasetfb has written an excellent article on how to do this, including full source code~~. The ~~article~~ is ~~located [http://nsis~~.~~sourceforge~~.~~net/DetailPrint_From_Inside_.NET_DLL here]. Many thanks~~ to ~~rbchasetfb for the good team work.~~

The next time the user reboots the machine, this file is deleted automatically. This issue is being worked on.

			Another issue is that if want to call a .NET dll from your .NET dll, you will find that the installer cannot find the second .NET dll. For the moment the remedy is to wrap your installer in another installer. This other installer should place the .NET dlls in the same directory as the installer will run from. When the installer runs, the .NET dlls can now be found. There will only be distributed one setup file.
