When I run the Dev-C++ installer, I get a treeview to
select the components. It is TOO small, therefore very
inconvenient to use. It would be nice to make it at
least wide enough so that it won't scroll horizontally.

    I'm not sure if nsis allows that.... I think if we decided
    to disable descriptions on the left it would maybe widen the
    window

    Do they call that thing an installer system? :(
    As I said before, InnoSetup is way better...

    and setfont is supposed to widen the treeview area?

    Font size dictates dialog and dialog control sizes. This is a
    win32 API concept.

    preferably I wouldn't want to do anything with the font
    size, just widen the window....

    There are probably a dozen ways of doing this, and I believe I
    mentioned some on another similar submittion here. You might
    try just changing the bitmap size for the
    MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_CHECKBITMAP.
