real examples like Skype setup
Hi all,
I'm trying to build a setup similar to Skype setup, with custom pages, user preferences...
is there a nsi script example like this? not already listed in "Real World Installer"

thanks

Don't know what is Skype and what is the user preferences page.
Regarding to designing a custom page, I guess there would be not easier way than writing an InstallOptions ini.
If Skype is packet with NSIS, then the ini is already there for you, just run the installer and take a look into your $TEMP directory for a folder with a name starting with ns.

skype does not use nsis for their installer :)

@Comm@nder21: If wanted to find out what skype is, I'd google about it.
Indeed, trying constantly to prove how smart you are, carries out the opposite.

i just tried to serve you so you won't need to google.

you said: "i don't know" so i tell you: "its this one".

this is what helpforums are for.

do you say to all the ones that ask here: "google instead, i won't tell you, because i don't want to show my knowledge"?

no need for such an offense.
