InstallOptions and others
Hello, everybody!

A couple of days started on with NSIS, so do not beat me for possibly stupid questions, ok? :-)

There are two Qs:

1. InstallOptions. Nice DLL except for I can't understand how to make two or more custom windows using this DLL with windows coming one after the other. The one window - it's OK, but I can't catch the event on .onNextPage when the user clicks 'Next' being on this custom window (constructed by InstallOptions). We do have here relatively complex project and need to make some 4-6 custom windows asking for serial code, name, company, etc.

2. Is there a way to construct custom progress bar? Or the little rectangles with text like 'registering system components', 'starting the driver'. Hope you understand what I mean. Or at least to show custom text while standard progress bar is moving. Just to make the user know what the installation is doing at the moment.

Oohh..Is that OK to ask for so much from a free system? :-)

Thanks in advance for all who reads this stuff and multiple thanks to those who will reply!

Alex.

1) Use Multini: http://www.clantpa.co.uk/nsis/hosted/multini4.zip
Please search the forum next time first.
2) DetailPrint should the trick. Just put it in the section and it will print your custom text such as starting the driver.
Please look at the examples and the documentation first next time.

This forum isn't here for nothing, ask as much as you want :D

don't forget ioCPT, my tool that lets you graphically place controls on the window, and creates the ini! :)

search this forum, it'll be there :)
