Package: nsis
Version: 2.06-3
I am involved with a project which uses NSIS to produce a Windows
installer. The standard MUI license agreement page
(http://nsis.sourceforge.net/File:NSISScreenshot2.png) says:
==============================
License Agreement
...
blah
...
If you accept the terms of the agreement, click I Agree to continue.
You must accept the terms of the agreement to install $APP_NAME.
[ < Back ] [ I Agree ] [ Cancel ]
==============================
IMO, this is probably confusing for "ultra-newbies". I define
"ultra-newbies" as "people who don't read anything onscreen and all do
is look for a Next button and click it".
I think that an easier page for such people to use would be as follows:
==============================
License Agreement
...
blah
...
Click the Next button if you accept the agreement above. You must
accept the agreement to install $APP_NAME.
[ < Back ] [ Next > ] [ Cancel ]
==============================
What do you think?
Cheers,
Jason Spiro

Upstream disagrees, but they inform me that it is already possible to
redefine that using this snippet:
!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_BUTTON $(^NextBtn)
!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_TEXT_BOTTOM "If you accept the terms of the agreement,
click Next to continue. You must accept the agreement to install $(^NameDA)."
I don't really want to deviate from upstream on this, closing the bug.
