Getting NSISdl::download to show progress in custom page
I've done some looking on this with google and the forum itself, but just can't find it. I'm pretty much a noob that knows enough to kill myself, but not enough to figure the following out.

We're calling NSISdl::download from a custom page. When doing this, there is no progress bar or connection info.

So what do we need to do to our custom form in its .ini (I'm guessing) so that we can get a progress bar of the downloads?

NSISdl is built to be used only in sections. If you want to use it as a custom page you'd have to change its source code. If you do, please submit a patch.

True, but it works just fine out of a section - just without a UI. So it seems like we could mimic a section UI in our dialog if we just knew how.

Am I right in that premise?

Well... You could try creating a progress bar with the dialog item id of 1004. Might work.
