Embedding browser in install page
Hey, searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I need a way to put a browser window within the internal dialog of my installer. I'm using MUI and Graphical-installer plug-ins. I tried using nsWeb plug-in but I don't know how to repurpose the section I want to put it in as the web browser window. Right now when I try to create it, it will create a whole new page and stop installation. I've included an image showing what I mean. The red arrow shows what I want to turn into the browser. Any help would be appreciated.

first hit on google

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NsWeb_plug-in

you will likely have to build your own progress page though

right, if you read my first post you'd see I was trying to use that plug-in but it doesn't seem to do what I want. I've used ResHacker to change the sizes and layouts of my windows but the browser doesn't seem to show up. Is there a way for me to replace one of the controls that I made in ResHacker with the browser window? Thats what I was really hoping to do.

I have the same problem. nsweb uses all available space but I need to add some text outside of the browser.

I don't know how to use Resource Hacker. Is it the way to go?

Hi,

I found a solution/workaround for this problem. I used a different browser control. I used this plugin for Inno setup:

This plugin allows to specify position and size of the control. I got it working thanks to help I received at StackOverflow:

Hope it helps.
