Hey. First off all, I'm pretty new to this whole nsis script thing. Now...I've been modifying the zip2exe classic script and managed pretty well, it does what it's supposed to but I can't get the cosmetics of the installer to work the way I want. What I want is to have a BMP (with an logo) fade in while music starts playing and then have it fade out while the music continues to play throughout the installer as it'll be a long installation. As it is now the music starts playing and then stops as the BMP fades out...

My code looks like this:
Page license
Page instfiles

XPStyle on
ShowInstDetails hide

BrandingText " "

LicenseText "Before continuing the installation process you must read through and accept this installer's license."
LicenseData "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\lala2.txt"
Icon "${NSISDIR}\contrib\lala1.ico"

Function .onInit
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\sound.wav "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\lala3.wav"

; Play the sound or song
StrCpy $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\sound.wav" ; location of the wav file
IntOp $1 "SND_ASYNC" || 1
System::Call 'winmm::PlaySound(t r0, i 0, i r1) b'

File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.bmp "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\lala4.bmp"

advsplash::show 1000 600 400 -1 $PLUGINSDIR\splash

FunctionEnd

Tryed everything I can think of, please help.

this code is insane, what is IntOp $1 "SND_ASYNC" || 1 supposed to do? you would also need SND_FILENAME, but you need to use the actual value, or ${SND_FILENAME} if it exists as a define...

Why would you even want to play a long music file? Think of your poor users

[Anders]

both Splash and AdvSplash are hardcoded to call PlaySound(0,0,0); and this will abort the playing file even if you did not give it anything to play, you could file a bug report about this if you really care, for now you must start playing the sound AFTER the splash and the code for that would look something like:

System::Call 'winmm::PlaySound(t "C:\WINDOWS\Media\winSpaceSysStart.wav", i 0,i 0x20001)'

(all parameters hardcoded here, replace path ofcourse)
