silent install with a progress bar
Hello,
I want to make an installer using NSIS ;-)
but I ve got a lot of file to install (50Mb when compressed)
Ok, 50Mb is not a problem for NSIS
But I need to install it without any action from my users.
So the silent mode is a good thing. But I d like that my
users saw that something it s working. For that there is the
progress bar. But if I use the silent mode nothing will be
shown.
So how can I do to have a nsis without any interaction with
my user but with the progress bar of nsis?
Any idea?

Just don't use any pages but the instfiles page. If you're using NSIS 1.98 or NSIS 2 without the MUI don't use LicenseText, LicenseData, ComponentText and DirText. If you're using MUI just don't insert the macros of the pages you don't want to show.
