hashem,
You are skipping all over the place and making no sense at all. From what I've seen you've asked several unrelated questions in this one forum. It makes it very hard to follow. Ideally, you should post new questions in new threads. (and please PLEASE quit double-posting! Learn how to edit your posts. Or think about exactly what to say before you type it.)

Now, to try to answer some of your questions:

I'd recommend first that you read the documentation provided with NSIS. It might also be helpful for you to read the Posting Rules and FAQs There's some good information there about how to find the answers to many of the basic questions you seem to have.

To change the icons, use the ICON command or if using MUI, use !define MUI_ICON "C:\path_to_your_icon\Icon_file.ico"

For your question about the FILE command, I'm not sure what you are trying to acoomplish, but I don't think you really meant to extract files into the NSIS install directory (or maybe you did?). Take some time to read through the documentation about Basic Commands, including FILE. You should also get familiar with constants such as ${NSISDIR}. It should help you figure out if this is really what you intended.

For running batch files "hidden" as you say, you should look at using nsExec. (Documentation for this is included with NSIS under ${NSISDIR}\DOCS\nsExec)

Thanks for your interest in NSIS InstallBuilder.



You can grab a copy here: http://www.winextra.com/dl/builder/..._Setup_0530.zip



Ideally I am looking to have a GUI front end that will let a developer create an install package of their application(s) that is equal to anything produced using one of the commercial installer apps; and without having to touch a line of NSIS script code.


I think this current build of NSIS InstallBuilder is stable enough to use for production releases; but I would like good confirmation of this from folks who use NSIS on a regular basis.



There are two system requirements for using NSIS InstallBuilder:

1. .NET 2.0 Framework installed

2. the newest version of NSIS installed



I have also setup a support newsgroup on the WinExtra news server for the program - news://news.winextra.com is the server address and the group is winextra.help.installbuilder . You can also reach me on MSN Messenger using winextra@hotmail.com[/email] - just make sure to let me know that it is regarding the program.

No unfortunately it won't as I have been offline for a short period of time and have had to change my hosting all around. I am only just now starting to get everything back in place and getting back to work on stuff.

InstallBuilder is still a project in the works so I will post again when I have an update.
