how i can add extra bitmaps to my installer?

bit of an ambiguous question... where, exactly, would you like to 'add extra bitmaps'(1) - and in what fashion(2)?

1) i.e. Welcome page, InstallFiles page, etc.
2) more than one at a time? a random pick from a number of bitmaps? etc.

not in pages - direct in the installer (as well as the checkbitmap)

you mean skinning? I'd say have a look at how ModernUI works first (in fact, if that's all you want to use - just with different bitmaps, check: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/%22Orang...odern_UI_Theme ). http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UltraModernUI and http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ExperienceUI are two others that completely change the look&feel of the installer.

NO - If you open an nsis installer with ResHack you see the folder BITMAPS and i will add some *.bmp in this folder
