Ini files
Hi,
I have downloaded NSIS (yesterday), and want to customize my dialog box, with colors and background.

I went through the installation controls. Can anyone please provide me with some links and tutorials, as how to use it, integrate it and writing code on it.

Although I went through the help, I would like to have any readymade codes or scripts or links or tutorials that deals with the ini files. (as i am bit lazy:o )

Use of INI files with InstallOptions is deprecated. It's recommended you use nsDialogs instead.

If you look at the nsDialogs readme file (also located in your NSIS installation directory under \docs\nsdialgs), you will find a very good step by step tutorial on how to make it work. There is also a whole page of examples on this wiki page: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Category:NsDialogs_Examples.

If you insist on using the older InstallOptions, then you may want to have a look at this page: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Adding_c...nstaller_pages.

Thanks Comperio for the reply, I prefer InstallOptions only because of the GUI.
I downloaded NSISEclipse yesterday. I was comfortable in the install options from NSISEclipse, can anyone please forward some links on the tutorials.

Secondly I have a question. I am going to deploy .net application.I will be providing .net framework along with my application, so in case if the user does not have a framework, he/she can have no problem. Now all I require is, the NSIS to look for .net framework and if not installed , it should install automatically.

How do I do that.

Kindly help.
