hi,
I am trying to find a script which will help me design a silent installation containing a BMP photo, and a progress bar. This should be very simple, however I can't seem to find anything. The general behavior is very similar to what Google have done with their Desktop Search installation.
Does anyone know where I can find such a script?
I'd appreciate any help on this!!
Thank you!
Silent Installation

That's not exactly what silent means on NSIS. What you want is an installer with nothing but the instfiles page. Edit Contrib\UIs\default.exe with a resource editor such as Resource Hacker and have your script use the new version with ChangeUI. When editing, add a bitmap place holder and show the bitmap in it using LoadImage and WM_SETIMAGE. A complete example can be found in the Wiki.
If you want to show just one picture, you can skip the loading part on the script and simply embed it as a resource. The problem is, ChangeUI only changes the dialog resources. To add a bitmap resource, you'd have to call Resource Hacker using !packhdr.

Kichik is right ,as always 😉
Silent - Nothing to see and do
Unattended - Nothing to do but progress visible
Regular - Something to see and user makes choices (even if only pressing next)
Anyhow, embed a file in your installer see nsis documentation "file" and copy to wherever you need.
