Your <a href="http://template.in" target="_blank">template.in</a> file is modified from what is in CMake. Did you move the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_PREINSTALL_</span><u style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"></u><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">CO</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">MMANDS up one line?</span><br>
<br>The <a href="http://template.in" target="_blank">template.in</a> file is configured at CPack time into a file in your build tree called "_CPack_Packages\win32\NSIS\project.nsi" -- you'll see the "File /r" in that file.<div>

Hi David,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reply.<br>
<br>
I'm do not quite understand your remarks. I cannot find "cmCPackNSISGenerator.cxx" in my CMake tree. This may be because I am using the binary package of CMake and not building from sources.<br>
<br>
Also, I cannot find the string "File /r" in <a href="http://NSIS.template.in" target="_blank">NSIS.template.in</a> (see attached file).<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your reply.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Dan<div><div><br>

Of course, you must be if you're actually seeing the message box....<br>
Never mind my silly question.<br>
<br>
It looks to me like it should be executed before any installation commands.<br>
<br>
The variable CPACK_NSIS_FULL_INSTALL is set to "File /r<br>
\"${INST_DIR}\\*.*\"" in Source/CPack/<u></u>cmCPackNSISGenerator.cxx and<br>
that should be inserted directly after your extra code.<br>
<br>
Does the configure NSIS.template file look correct? (i.e. -- is the<br>
File /r command after the MessageBox call?)<br>
<br>

Are you using CMake 2.8.9?<br>
<br>
That variable did not exist prior to 2.8.9.<br>
