Background Image problems
I am new to the powerful NSIS installer program and am having a few problems creating an installer for a product. I would like to add a background picture to replace the standard blue computer with an arrow pointing at it. I am also trying to replace the icon in the top left corner of the installer with my company logo. I have looked for hours on the NSIS wiki page and have fiddled with the script according to the tutorials that I have found, but none of them seem to work to the desired effect or at all. If someone could take the time to write a step-by-step walkthrough of the process, then I would be tremendously thankful, but I realize you are all busy people with lives, so any help I could get would be much appreciated.


sounds like you're referring to the Modern UI - so see the Modern UI help section included with NSIS.

Specifically..
for the image top-left, that's called the header, see:
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP bmp_file

The bigger image on the left is the WELCOME/FINISH page bitmap, see:
!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP bmp_file


For other MUI-specific commands, refer to the MUI readme:
