superPiMP wizard v1.0 - it'll really whip ur ass !
Hello Guys!

I am Manav, a 17 year old alien and programmer. I have coded a li'l
program which I guess u'll like to check out - I call it superPiMP wizard

superPiMP wizard is my attempt at providing a GUI for nullsoft's amazing NSIS technology. using its simple interface, even idiots can create cool and sexy installers within minutes. experts can use it to generate template nsis scripts which they can manually edit later.

I have worked really hard on this thing, and I would appreciate if you
could make it available on your site for people to download.

yeah ofcourse, it is completely FREE :)

manav, do you think you could give us the source files so we could look at it (possibly have Justin pack it with each version of NSIS)?

Could you make it work with the latest version of NSIS?

I still prefer Slate Blue over yours. Though it is great to have people developing for this project. It would be nice to have your programming skills to create "plug-ins" that would add functional things to NSIS. Other than that, great work.

i like your wizard, although slate blue includes something very similar to this.

keep up the good work :)

You should let the file open dialog in add/remove page to multi-select or select the folder.

try it out!
I tried, but if I allow mutiselect, I get only the filename, not the
path
Why don't u try including this functionality urself - just download the
source and code :)

when you allow multi-select, it returns something like this.

strFiles=CommonDialog.FileName
strFiles="c:\|file1.exe|file2.exe|etc"

it puts the path in the beginning of the string and the files later. i have the code to do this if you are interested.

multiselect
no, I know all that and also that we can select
multiple files by using the cdOFLAllowMultipleSelect
(or something like that..) flag before calling the common dialog

but the problem is that it then it displays the old win95 style
'open' box - I want it to somehow enable muti select in the
same dialog box (I've seen this in some app's, but dunno how)

anyways, thanx a lot for taking interest in my
li'l proggie liquidmotion :)
