Icons and other topics
- I tryed the Icon directive but that doesn't seems to work.
Is it because I use the modern UI?

- Also I would like to write a small exe to test for .NET presence (the current script is not good enough and I really don't feel comfortable enough in "NSIS" to improve it).
If I want to call it, I have to unpack it (same for licence.rtf, BTW).

Where should I unpack them (the licence file & the test .NET exe) while the installation is not even started?

- Also is there anyway to have a loop?
let say I want to look at all the subkeys of a registry key entry. How do I do that?

It is really best to start of by trying the included NSIS examples to get a feeling forhow NSIS installers work.

Also installing a NSIS script editor like

http://hmne.sourceforge.net/

Makes it a lot easier to learn.

And of course, read through the manual, even if you do not understand it all, it will improve your understanding by already reading it.

Thank you for considering NSIS. I know out of experience you can achieve all functionallity you requested in this post.

Good luck.
