Everything on the NSIS wiki is zlib/libpng unless noted otherwise.

This plugin is wonderful it meets our installer needs, What is the license terms for this plug-in I dont see anything in the zip file, can we use this for enterprise use?

i don't care, but for the record: the marquee banner does not work on windows 98

Excuse for a time delay, Unicode version uploaded http://nsis.sourceforge.net/File:Nxs.zip

[SJSJ]

MSG, it worked :-D
That is a great plugin.
Thank you!

[SJSJ]

Not yet!
Thanks, MSG, for the suggestion.
Looks promising.
I shall try and post the results!

[MSG]

Have you tried using it with the CallAnsiPlugin plugin?

[SJSJ]

Unicode version?

Hi,

The Nxs banner plugin was exactly what I was looking for. It works great.
Do you have a Unicode version, Takhir?

I tried changing the code by following instructions from http://forums.winamp.com/showpost.ph...95&postcount=6 but did not succeed.
The pop up comes but the marquee does not.

Please let me know if somebody has tried the Unicode version.

Thanks!!

Hi! This is great work. Takhir and Instructor, thanks for fixing my code (that's why I included the source code). I tried to fix MSIBanner's code, but since I based my code on the MSIBanner project think a lot of the bugs from MSIBanner replicated in my plug-in. I should have started from scratch. But I guess you (Takhir) have reworked the code now, so now most of it is new code (hopefully).

But my idea with a Cancel button was great, right?
And why did you rename the plug-in to nxs.dll. NxS is just my prefix. My real name is Nicolai Syvertsen, so I just made that into NxS (putting in an x just cos' it's cool).
I don't think you make the installer that much smaller by keeping filename sizes short. Isn't the datablock compressed anyway??

But again (sorry for caps lock): GREAT WORK!

[Instructor]

I'm grateful to you (and to saivert too).

[Takhir]

Thanks, Instructor!
I added your files to package, but I had to do some changes in example.nsi - like saivert wrote, first installer's page stays minimized without explicit ShowWindow in the .onGuiInit if banner was shown in .onInit function. The same happened on my XP with "100% done" message box after banner destroyed in .onInit, so I commented this line in your script.

[Instructor]

I made some changes in readme and examples. If something will seem to you interesting.

I see, 98/Me not updates frame size on window style changes (related to hidden or visible Task bar button /h option), so banner will have on 98/Me toolwindow style - decreased caption height, regular font in the /h 1 mode (no task bar button), bold otherwise (system defines this). I know about hidden parent window and appwindow style tricks, but I don't like this way. New version attached.

[Instructor]

Then I run example.nsi in WinMe (in WinXP all fine) it shows:
