Instead of starting with Ultra Modern UI, just use MUI2. UMUI is not official and therefore you're not as likely to get help for it.

As for your question, UMUI probably uses .onInit internally, so you need to find a !define that lets you specify your own .onInit function (i.e. MUI has a MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT define to specify your own .onGUIInit function).

Also in future please post scripts as file attachments or use pastebin.

Hi,

I change system to MUI2 and try usage MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT but still have error ;/ What I doing wrong someone tell me?
Animaether#
... you didn't attach your MUI2 version.

Line 6, change
Function .onGUIInit
to (example)
Function myOnGUIInit
Line 48, change
!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT
to
!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myOnGUIInit
That will allow it to compile. There's still some remaining errors, but you can figure 'm out (or open new threads).
need_a_help#
Thanks for help. But when I add

Function myOnGUIInit
        InitPluginsDir
        File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp "c:\wgp1600.bmp"
     
        advsplash::show 2500 600 400 -1 $PLUGINSDIR\splash
        Pop $0          ; $0 has '1' if the user closed the splash screen early,
                        ; '0' if everything closed normally, and '-1' if some error occurred.
        Delete $PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp
FunctionEnd
This splash show me in the frame. So I change myOnGUIInit to .onInit and give 
Function myOnGUIInit
  !insertmacro UMUI_MULTILANG_GET
FunctionEnd
But when I select change language " English" I still have the same (Polish)
Animaether#
not sure what problem you're seeing..

When I run the installer, I first get an English UI. Clicking through that shows English for all other pages as well. If I change to Polish on the first page, all the other pages are Polish. Were you expecting the language selection page itself to change immediately after selecting a different language?
need_a_help#
Yes work when I set function onInit for UMUI_MULTILANG_GET but splash have frame. When I give
Function myOnGUIInit
!insertmacro UMUI_MULTILANG_GET
FunctionEnd

I can't change language. So can I delete frame when the splash start or can I change some value to change languages with function myOnGUIInit. Sorry for problems
Animaether#
ahhhh now I understand. Yes - simply move the Splash code to .onInit, -before- UMUI_MULTILANG_GET.

So...
Function .onInit
        InitPluginsDir
        File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp "c:\wgp1600.bmp"
        advsplash::show 2500 600 400 -1 $PLUGINSDIR\splash
        Pop $0          ; $0 has '1' if the user closed the splash screen early,
                        ; '0' if everything closed normally, and '-1' if some error occurred.
        Delete $PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp
  !insertmacro UMUI_MULTILANG_GET
FunctionEnd 
Function myOnGUIInit
can be removed entirely, unless you have something else you'd want to initialize at GUI init.

and
!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myOnGUIInit
should be removed as well.

Keep in mind that if you plan on supporting a silent installer, you should make sure that splash does -not- show up when running silent.
need_a_help#
When I do what you say i have error "Delete: "!insertmacro: macro named "UMUI_MULTILANG_GET" not found!".

Ps. Silent running? Can you explain me.
Animaether#
not sure what edit you made.. I'm attaching my version.

"silent" meaning that the user never gets to see the installer interface.. usually used by administrators or other installers that wrap your installer so that no user interaction is needed. I'm guessing you won't be needing that 😉
need_a_help#
Thanks so much for help. But I have another question about some option.

1. I add new function
Function .onInstSuccess
    MessageBox MB_OK "Now run another program" IDNO NoReadme
      Exec $INSTDIR\File2.exe ; open link
    NoReadme:
  FunctionEnd
Can I add this text with other language and when installer check version automatic give this text with language what he select?

2. I want add new command Get File Version. I read about this option on the forum and wiki documentation but example is not good. I don't know how doing something like this.

When installer start check file GetFileVersion "${INSTDIR\Baza.exe}".
If this file don't have version 1.0.0.2 he give message: "You must install..."
But when every thing is ok he run

Ps. You've guessed right I don't want silent install 😉

Yes.. use LangString:
e.g.
LangString runAnotherProgram ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Now run another program"
LangString runAnotherProgram ${LANG_GERMAN} "Jetzt ein anderes Programm ausführen"
Then replace...
MessageBox MB_OK "Now run another program" IDNO NoReadme
...with...
MessageBox MB_OK "$(runAnotherProgram)" IDNO NoReadme
note that langstring defines use parentheses (), nor curly braces {} like regular defines.

Not sure what's in the wiki - but read the one in your NSIS documentation instead:
E.1.8 GetFileVersion

Basically:
!include "FileFunc.nsh" /* contains ${GetFileVersion} */
[...]
${GetFileVersion} "$INSTDIR\Baza.exe" $0
/* $0 now contains the file version in #.#.#.# format */
Originally Posted by need_a_help View Post

For that, you can then use ${VersionCompare}:
!include "FileFunc.nsh"
!include "WordFunc.nsh" /* contains ${VersionCompare} */
[...]
${GetFileVersion} "$INSTDIR\Baza.exe" $0
${VersionCompare} "$0" "1.0.0.2" $1
/*
  $1 now contains one of:
    1: Existing $INSTDIR\Baza.exe version is HIGHER than 1.0.0.2
    2: Existing $INSTDIR\Baza.exe version is LOWER than 1.0.0.2
    0: Existing $INSTDIR\Baza.exe version IS 1.0.0.2
*/
need_a_help#
I add other languages how you write and everything is ok. But still have problem with get file version. I copy your code and paste to my file and compilation ( any errors and warnings) but when I lunch installation nothing happens.

Section
!include "FileFunc.nsh" /* contains ${GetFileVersion} */
${GetFileVersion} "$INSTDIR\Baza.exe" $0
/* $0 now contains the file version in #.#.#.# format */  
!include "FileFunc.nsh"
!include "WordFunc.nsh" /* contains ${VersionCompare} */
${GetFileVersion} "$INSTDIR\Baza.exe" $0
${VersionCompare} "$0" "1.0.0.2" $1
/*
  $1 now contains one of:
    1: Existing $INSTDIR\Baza.exe version is HIGHER than 1.0.0.2
    2: Existing $INSTDIR\Baza.exe version is LOWER than 1.0.0.2
    0: Existing $INSTDIR\Baza.exe version IS 1.0.0.2
*/

Thanks for patience 😉
Animaether#
well the code was only to show you how you might check the version - you still have to add code based on the last comments to actually -do- something 🙂
need_a_help#edited
Hi I do and everything work good but I have one question ;p When version is higher I add message Currently you have a higher version which could cause problems with patch. Do you want to proceed anyway?

MessageBox MB_YESNO '$(Message1)'/SD IDNO
Abort

And if I click in the installer "Yes" I have abort installation.

Thanks for help 🙂

the /SD flag sets the Silent Default option. What you want is something like:

MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "Continue?" IDYES _yes
  /* IDNO assumed here, as that's the only other option */
  Abort /* abort installation */
_yes:
/* continue with installation */

Hi everything right now is ok 🙂 But I forgot ask you about one option
1. In the install system I use UMUI_PARAMS_REGISTRY_KEY, this key give my parameters $INSTDIR. Can I change him after choose language? e.g. I want install file baza.exe to: my documents\my games\Polish name (key give me only information about my documents so I must add $INSTDIR\my games\Polish name) but when i select english I want install this same file to $INSTDIR\my games\English name . How I can do this?
