Things
I've been checking the changes to NSIS periodically and I've seen a lot of fixes for nsisdl.dll --- but nobody has added PBS_SMOOTH to the dll yet. Is someone looking into this?

Also, I was wondering if there was going to be a way in your NSIS script to add a Version Info tabsheet --- or if we will have to stick with the current method using Resource Hacker. I would prefer to have NSIS do this because if you use Resource Hacker to add the Version tab, you can't use crc checking on your executable, or so I've read.

There are some other outstanding issues, but isn't it time for Beta 4?

Or skip the pre-release and make it official! :)

There's already a plugin for that.

i should have been more clear...

as mentioned in this post:

NSISdlSmooth is an old version of NSISdl with smooth progress bar. To create a new NSISdlSmooth open NSISdl.dll in a resource editor such as Resource Hacker and add the PBS_SMOOTH style to the progress bar. -kichik

Adding PBS_SMOOTH to NSISdl.dll manually is a very simple resource editing task.

You don't need to disable CRC when using !packhdr. You only need to disable CRC if you want to edit the installer after it's created by NSIS.

NSIS b4 will be released when it's ready :)

Latest NSISdl takes its style from the installer, smoothness and colors.
