simple silent install question...
Now in this silent install it basically installs the files to the proper directories with out user input? It would be visual and then when the install is done its ready to go?

Im so new to this its not making sense. How can I show a installer installing with out the user input? 🙁
If you're new I suggest you first take your time to read through the manual, and try some examples to get used to NSIS (there is actually a Silent install example).
Copying and pasting code from others won't do you any good when your installer becomes more complicated.
When you're more confident with NSIS, the Silent install chapter I mentioned above should be clear enough.

I been but the silent example and the docs do not have pictures to help explain what it would do. I want a install the user does not have to input but can see it installing.Originally Posted by jpderuiter View PostIf you're new I suggest you first take your time to read through the manual, and try some examples to get used to NSIS (there is actually a Silent install example).

Aha.
So you can't use a Silent install.
What you can do is only use an instfiles page.
Or skip the other pages if you want these pages in your script (in case the installer is not run in 'silent' mode).

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.
It would basically be like installing add on and they just run the exe and watch it install and bam its done. hands free. 😉Originally Posted by jpderuiter View PostAha.

Or would it be better for it to say this program will install this add on do you wish to continue or abort?
I got it to work on my own. I just removed the directory page.
