Hi,
I agree that the info in that file isn't what one would expect in a readme file
displayed at installation. But as it says
"; show readme doesn't seem to work even with NSIS 2.0rc3" in the file I wanted to show
what I did to get it to work.
Then we can add a file with more apropriate information if we want.
Best regards
Anders
Ps
I checed the example at :

Thanks for your effort. The time I've experimented with this, it doesn't
work, so I added the comment you mentioned.

Show README.win32 file at installation
A lot of the information in there is probably of no interest to most
people installing Ethereal:
most of them probably aren't going to be compiling Ethereal, so
that information probably isn't of any interest;
the information about the libraries is probably also not of any
interest, as those are installed for you by the installer;
so perhaps there should be a README file for Win32 that contains
information of use to people who aren't going to be compiling Ethereal,
just installing the package - there might also be some more information
that it should include that's not currently in README.win32.
Well, I've asked about splitting the README.win32 file into a developer
and a user file some weeks before, and didn't get any answer.
The only relevant information (currently in that file) to show after the
installer did his job, is the section about the WinPcap installation IMHO.
