Downright Newbie -- Where is MUI
I'm really new to NSIS, and relatively new to programming. I suspect my question must be extremely basic.

I downloaded & installed NSIS (full installation--I used all the defaults) and right away gravitated to the MUI. So I am trying to compile my first script and I get the error message that MAKENSISW can't open the MUI.nsh file. In fact, I can't find an MUI.nsh file anywhere on my system.

The MUI readme says: "MUI.nsh is in the Include directory, so you don't have to specify a path." But ... I can't find an Include directory either.

Have I missed something? Are my nsi scripts supposed to be in specific directory? Is there a download somewhere that will give me the MUI stuff?

:igor:

Did you install NSIS 2 beta 3?

Is there no Include\MUI.nsh?

Thanks for your quick response, Joost.

The file I downloaded/installed is NSIS198.EXE. Do I need to install NSIS 2 to get the MUI files?

In C:\Program Files\NSIS I have the following tree structure (using the DOS Tree command)

Contrib
Splash
zip2exe
zlib
InstallOptions
NSISdl
ExDLL
Makensisw
ZipArchive
stl
zippie
Windows
zlib
Source
zlib
bzip2
exehead

And when I do a search for all .nsh files, I only find the following:

Directory of C:\Program Files\NSIS

02/03/2002 10:06 PM 980 piglatin.nsh
02/03/2002 10:06 PM 818 caps.nsh

NSIS 1.98 is an old NSIS version that does not support customized user interfaces and a lot of other things.

To get the latest NSIS 2 code, download the development snapshot at http://nsis.sf.net
