MUI Custom Page

Hi, in my actual IS installer i have two pages
One "Licence" and the other "Lastest Information"
In this one ive put my Readme File, because i dont want THE final user avoid to read it.

I think the way to do that in NSIS is by a Custom Page.
Anyone know how or send to me an example?

Thanks

LOL

There is the problem, How I "Easily add a second license page and modify it to look like a readme page "??
Because de license page its predefined like this
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE $(MUILicense)

TIA

;license page

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "path_to_license\license.txt/rtf"



; ReadMe created from the license page

!define MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT "Read Me"

!define MUI_PAGE_HEADER_SUBTEXT "Please read the following important information."

!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_TEXT_TOP "About my program:"

!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_TEXT_BOTTOM "$\n* Click on the arrows or use the PageDown \

button to scroll down to the end of the text."

!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_BUTTON "Next >"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "path_to_readme\readme.txt/rtf"

Just uploaded a header at wiki regarding to the subject, aimed in help users to add a MUI multilang readme page.

How to make custom page or something like that to show big bitmap? I need some kind of licence page but show image instead of text there. And it would be great to be able to goto that page upon .onSelChange.

Custom page (InstallOptions plugin) is powerful and adds many amazing abilities to nsis, however painful sometimes, (I guess the one wouldn't exist without the other 😉).
OutFile 'test.exe'

you need an image named sample_image.bmp into the same folder where compiling the script.
