Silent, but with license
Any ideas as to how to create a silent installer that still displays the user's license? I know how to abort the directory page and to autoclose the pages/windows following the license, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to hide the instfiles page (i.e the progress bar). Thanks.
You can't show the built-in license page and hide the instfiles page. You'll have to use an external plug-in to show an external license page while keeping the installer silent. I don't know such a plug-in, so you'd probably have to write one.
You could also try hiding $HWNDPARENT using ShowWindow after the license page shows, but I don't know how well that'd work.
Or create another NSIS installer with just the license page in it and execute that (with ExecWait) from your silent installer (with SilentInstall silent).
