no GUI

is there a possibility to compile nsis without any gui at all?

the installer i'm thinking of requires no selection from the user and it saves not only filesize, no gui looks better than a gui that pops up for 2 milliseconds.

just add
SilentInstall silent
to your script, that should do it

is that cheating, or does the installer actually save some bytes by doing so?

Compile NSIS without support for visible installers if you want to make it smaller.

It would save some bytes (around 2KB) but compiling without visible support would save much more (around 15KB).
