Please Help. How To Add Background image & Looped Audio?

How to add background image and looped audio when install wizard starts?

How to add this to existing script?

Please help.

I don't know how to program.

I used "NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator".

How to add additional background image on full screen and looped audio into script generated by "NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator"?

I tried to add script from example "BgImage" but many errors pop out.

When I tried to fix errors and deleted some lines and script compiled there is no difference, no background image.


Is someone could explain me how to add those to my script? Background image and looped music? And put simple script of them?
What plugins I need? And where to put it into my script?


Here is the script:

As for audio, why would you do that to your users? You could probably use the System plug-in to call the MCI API but yeah, why?

Thanks for the answer Anders.
Yeah I hear about graphic installer. Looks cool but it is paid option. Right now I even don't have credit card. I am looking for free options. I wanna distribute free content.

Why audio? I wanna distribute in installers old 90s or stylized 90s - early 00s audio stuff, plugins, and other more and less cheesy.
Something like demoscene etc. and people like audio installers in stuff like this.

I have an old project that uses older style installers, it's https://nsis.sourceforge.io/InstallSpiderUI. I haven't touched it in over 10 years though, so I don't know if it still works in NSIS 3.
