Progress message dialog box 'unpacking data' doesnt show before setup loads

You could block and delete me right after we get through this.

I don't use it. If it's too big, upload it somewhere or find someway to reproduce it using standard files (include some big DLLs from Windows, for example).

sent ya a PM

It turns out the "unpacking" progress dialog didn't show because of the usage of BGGradient. This happens because the unpacking dialog won't show if the NSIS dialog was already created. The gradient background window pretends to be the dialog for so it can be used as the parent of splash screens. Since it is created before .onInit, anything extract in .onInit won't have the "unpacking" dialog.

I have made the gradient background window stop pretending to be the dialog window. The background window is hidden while processing .onInit anyway so the script can make the installer silent without the window flashing.

kichik, in my installer script I have used the setreboot flag, but even then at the finish page it doesnt show the option to reboot now or later. Could you have a look at it 🙂

I have already deleted the script, so I can't test it on it. Try creating a minimal example reproducing the example. If you won't find the problem while creating the script, attach it and someone will surely be able to help.
