how can i merge a ini file to a nsi file
Hi guys
i´m using nsis just for a couple of weeks and i´m suprised to see how powerful the language is.
My problem ist the following. i´d like to change the installation of putty by given a username and a private key in a window which should appear before the installation starts. Therefor i wrote the .ini file which is at the bottom. The thing is now that i don´t know how i can do to make this window appear or merge this .ini file to the .nsi file.

Thanks in advance for your help.

.ini-file:

The most important steps to include an installoptions page are the following. For furthermore advices take a look at the InstallOptions example in your "[..]\NSIS\Example\Modern UI\" folder.

Page custom MyCustomPageShow MyCustomPageLeave

Function .onInit
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT "MyCustomIni.ini"
FunctionEnd

Function MyCustomPageShow
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "MyCustomIni.ini"
FunctionEnd 

Function MyCustomPageLeave
; put some code here to save or act on the given informations 
; and settings of your custom page controls
FunctionEnd
