crc check dialog
Hi,

I have a problem with my installer. It has a really long launch time. I tried with the /NCRC flag and the launch time was way shorter.

I searched the forum and found that the crc check dialog is only displayed if it'll last more than 1 second. It's definitely the case with my installer but I've never seen it.

Is there any way to force it to show up?

I'm using NSIS 2.45 but had the same issue with 2.18 and 2.40.

I use the Banner plugin from .onInit and destroy it in .onGUIInit, usually with the text "Loading, please wait...". It shows immediately for me on execution.

However I have not yet had an installer that shows the CRC banner nor have I tried this code in one so I'm not sure what kind of effect it would have (uses the same dialog).

Thank you for your answer.

While it's not as fancy as a progress bar it's still better than the user launching the installer a second time before the first one is up and running.
