Archive: easy icon...


easy icon...
Hi, I really like the Nullsoft Installer, (it is the only installer I tried which could handle some thousands of files without ANY problems, Thanks a lot!!!) but I was somehow unhappy about the restriction of the icon to some colors and small size.
Having no knowlegde at all in programming C++, changes in the source were not appreciate for me :-(
But I found a probably much easier way to integrate my colorful icon in the installer, that is with the help of the free Resource-Hacker program. (see http://www.rpi.net.au/~ajohnson/resourcehacker/ for information).
With this program, You can load your just generated installer-executable and change the icon to whatever icon. (.ico file). I used NSIS 1.67 and this procedure worked fine, :-) of course I agree its not a very straightforward way...

Again thanks for developing such a robust installer!
Joachim.


I'm not sure this would work if CRC Check has been enabled when compiling the installer.

Might be wrong, but I'll check it out later.

Cheers,

Kris


CRCCheck must be off if you plan to modify the icons or the dialogs.

  CRCCheck Off

Thought so.
