Intro Sound stopping ! need help
I have an intro sound that plays but as soon as the splash
screen leaves the sound cuts straight away and the control is given back to the user.......
Is there a way to start the sound and let it finish and have
the program still work like normal ?
So the installer is still functional. ????????
Such as a Background playing music function ?

You can make the splash screen (including sound) wait for a certain period of time.

To play a background sound use the BgImage plug-in.

didn't know bgimage can play waves. however, midis would prolly be more useful considering the filesize. just a thought, not that i need feature either way ;)

I was thiking on having the sound play while the
FAT huge install was rollin and have some kind of ani play
hehe....... as to give someone somthing to do while
the sucker installs ;)

well when i get this install done or mabey in the proccess
I can figure out the DLL stuff
mabey i could play Mp3 and High Quilty Wav or Divx :)
no that would be frekin Sweet.

Actually I could do it if i new the how the API calls work in Nsis when calling window routines.

so if i called system32.dll and such
yeah somthing like that could allow me to call a system function and or do a registry check and return weather to play the file or not :)

To play a simple WAV file just use the BgImage plug-in, no need for extra API calls.
