Icon and Bitmap
I have looked at the forums for this question but i could find a decent solution anywhere.

- Is it possible to view a icon in a custompage? (You can view images, but i want to view icons so if the (windows) theme is different it still looks right) and if its possible, How?

And one little thing. I used to use different bitmaps im my setups (for example: at the left, at the welcome screen) I used a old version and the old way to do it doesn't work anymore in 2.0. I was hoping somebody could tell me how to fix it.

I hope somebody knows it, thanks for reading anyway ;).

yes, you can do that using InstallOptions

some of the syntax has been changed during the development builds, you should find the recent syntax in the mui docs

Second Question
Thank you very much Yathosho it helped me very much.

But i still got another question and i dont know i its worth to open a new topic about it so ill ask it here.

When you look at attached the image, you will see a custom dialog. I made it and i want to have some things i could not find.

I want that users can choose between 2 checkboxes (Red, Green). So if they choose Green they cant choose Red.

I hope somebody can tell me how to do this.

And a second thing is how to automaticly check checkboxes and radiobuttons. (Blue area)

I hope somebody knows how to do this. It may have been somewhere on the NSIS pages but i didnt find it.:weird:

you might prefer using a visual editor to create io-pages, such as HM NSI Edit.

you forgot to attach an image too.

I know such editors as HM NSI Edit. But that are just a few options, not the one i descibed.

thats how radiobuttons usually behave

And a second thing is how to automaticly check checkboxes and radiobuttons.

i guess you are asking for the state of a checkbox, try State=1

Thanks, it helped.

Stupid from me that i didnt think of that

But i want to use 2 pairs of checkboxes (Like in the image). How can i configure this?

[Edit]
I was wondering this. If searched by i didnt managed to get the information i need.

I want that if 'radiobutton 1' is set a specified regstring is written.
And i want if 'radiobutton 2' is set a different regstring is written.

i saw this:

Function LeaveFinishPage
  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $R0 "Finish Page.ini" "Field 2" "State"
  StrCmp $R0 "1" 0 +2
    ExecShell "open" "program.exe"
FunctionEnd

But the 'ExecShell "open" "program.exe"' doesnt fit for me. I need that a regstring is written. What to do?

there's no point in using ExecShell with an executable. try Exec or nsExec.

for registry manipulation, check the manual

Use for each first of each pair of radiobuttons with this:

Flags=GROUP

NOTE: Every time you put that line at any radiobutton "field", that control starts a new group of radiobuttons.
