After Installation Options
Hello,

i use the nsis setup maker for my application. Now I want to get Options after my installation which the user can choose like

- "Add a Desktop Icon"
- "Add a Quick Launch Icon"
- "Associate *.m3l files by this application"

My problem is... I don´t know how to create this install options. I use the modern ui. Can anyone give me a simple example?? I´ve search this forum, the FAQs and documentation but I can´t find anything.

Thanks...

Greetings

Rainer, Germany

If you want to use InstallOptions dialogs with Modern UI, look up Contrib\Modern UI\Readme.html
To make InstallOptions dialogs, have a look at Contrib\InstallOptions\Readme.html, and the example .ini files in that same directory.

You could also try out HM NIS Editor as it has a built-in wizard to help generate IO page ini file with a visual layout.
