which installer do you mean?
the editor is running alone.

it shows at the end of compiling:
...
Processed 1 file, writing output:

"C:\Program Files\NSIS\Examples\BgImage\BgImageTest.exe" is already running, or you don't have write access to it

i have to use the editor as administrator! i have changed the property of the editor program and all is OK.
