NSIS Modern User Interface - Documentation

[Expand all] [Collapse all] # Introduction The Modern UI provides a user interface for NSIS installers with a modern wizard style, similar to the wizards of recent Windows versions. It is based on the basic user interface that is provided by the NSIS compiler itself and extends it with more interface features and pages. All standard NSIS pages (such as the pages to select components and the installation folder) are supported as well as a number of additional pages. The welcome page allows you to provide an introduction to the installation process, while the finish page provides a way to let the user decide what steps should be performed after the setup wizard is closed (for example, whether the application should be started immediately). A finish page can also be used to ask for a system restart is necessary. ### Screenshots # Modern UI 2.0 This new version makes it easier to customize pages, because the same method can be used to change standard NSIS pages as well as additional pages provided by the Modern UI. It is now also possible for other NSIS plug-ins to add new pages to the Modern UI. You can expect to see examples of this soon. The welcome and finish page are no longer implemented using InstallOptions. Instead, the new nsDialogs plug-in is used. nsDialogs allows you to create custom pages or customize existing pages directly from the script. To upgrade a Modern UI 1.8 script, you should: Insert the MUI2.nsh header file instead of MUI.nsh. The macros for InstallOptions have been moved to a separate header file unrelated to the Modern UI. If you are still using InstallOptions for custom pages, insert InstallOptions.nsh and use the INSTALLOPTIONS_* macros instead of the MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_* macros. The macros themselves have remained the same. Rewrite customization code for the Modern UI 1.8 welcome and finish pages in which the InstallOptions INI file is used. nsDialogs commands should be used instead. Use the standard NSIS method to escape special characters in all texts. For example, $\r$\n creates newline. # Script header The settings for the Modern UI should be inserted in the header of the script file. It's important to follow the same order as the items below. For example, interface settings should be defined before you insert pages, because the pages depend on the interface configuration. It may be useful to look at the example scripts too see how this is done in actual script files. Parameters are given in this format: required (option1 | option2) [optional] ## 1. Header file First of all, add this line to the top of script to include the Modern UI:
    !include MUI2.nsh
## 2. Interface configuration Then, you may want to use interface settings to change the look and feel of the installer. These settings apply to all pages. The interface settings provided by the NSIS compiler itself (such as LicenseText, Icon, CheckBitmap, InstallColors) should not be used in Modern UI scripts. The Modern UI provides equalivent or extended versions of these settings. Examples:
    !define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_SMALLDESC ;No value
    !define MUI_UI "myUI.exe" ;Value
    !define MUI_INSTFILESPAGE_COLORS "FFFFFF 000000" ;Two colors
### Interface settings ### Page header MUI_ICON icon_file The icon for the installer. Default: ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico MUI_UNICON icon_file The icon for the uninstaller. Default: ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico MUI_HEADERIMAGE Display an image on the header of the page. MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP bmp_file Bitmap image to display on the header of installers pages (recommended size: 150x57 pixels). Default: ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Header\nsis.bmp MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP_NOSTRETCH Do not stretch the installer header bitmap to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting. MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP_RTL bmp_file Bitmap image to display on the header of installers pages when using a RTL language (recommended size: 150x57 pixels). Default: Non-RTL bitmap MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP_RTL_NOSTRETCH Do not stretch the installer header bitmap when using a RTL language to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting. MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP bmp_file Bitmap image to display on the header of uninstaller pages (recommended size: 150x57 pixels). Default: Installer header bitmap MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_NOSTRETCH Do not stretch the uninstaller header bitmap to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting. MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_RTL bmp_file Bitmap image to display on the header of uninstallers pages when using a RTL language (recommended size: 150x57 pixels). Default: Installer RTL header bitmap MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_RTL_NOSTRETCH Do not stretch the uninstaller header bitmap when using a RTL language to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting. MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT Display the header image on the right side instead of the left side (when using a RTL language it will be displayed on the left side instead of the right side). MUI_BGCOLOR (color: RRGGBBR hexadecimal) Background color for the header, the Welcome page and the Finish page. Default: FFFFFF MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT Set a transparent background for the header's label controls. Useful for custom user interfaces that set a bigger header image. ### Interface resources MUI_UI ui_file The interface file with the dialog resources. Change this if you have made your own customized UI.

Default: ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\win.bmp MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP_NOSTRETCH Do not stretch the bitmap for the Welcome and Finish page to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting. ### Uninstaller welcome/finish page MUI_UNWELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP bmp_file Bitmap for the Welcome page and the Finish page (recommended size: 164x314 pixels). Default: ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\win.bmp MUI_UNWELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP_NOSTRETCH Do not stretch the bitmap for the Welcome and Finish page to fit the size of the field.

MUI_UNABORTWARNING_TEXT text Text to display on the abort warning message box. MUI_UNABORTWARNING_CANCEL_DEFAULT Set the Cancel button as the default button on the message box. ## 3. Pages Insert the following macros to set the pages you want to use. The pages will appear in the order in which you insert them in the script. You can also insert custom Page commands between the macros to add custom pages. You can add multiple pages of certain types (for example, if you want the user to specify multiple folders). Examples:
    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "License.rtf"
    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

    Var StartMenuFolder
    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU "Application" $StartMenuFolder
You will need the page ID for the Start Menu folder page when using the Start Menu folder macros. The folder will be stored in the specified variable. Installer pages MUI_PAGE_WELCOME MUI_PAGE_LICENSE textfile MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU pageid variable MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES MUI_PAGE_FINISH Uninstaller pages MUI_UNPAGE_WELCOME MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM MUI_UNPAGE_LICENSE textfile MUI_UNPAGE_COMPONENTS MUI_UNPAGE_DIRECTORY MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES MUI_UNPAGE_FINISH ### Page settings Page settings apply to a single page and should be set before inserting a page macro. The same settings can be used for installer and uninstaller pages. You have to repeat the setting if you want it to apply to multiple pages. Example:
    ;Add a directory page to let the user specify a plug-ins folder
    ;Store the folder in $PluginsFolder

    Var PLUGINS_FOLDER
    !define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $PluginsFolder
    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
All standard texts in the user interface are loaded from language files, which are available for all languages supported by NSIS. So you only need to define these texts if you want to change the default. If the parameter is a text that should be different for each language, define a language string using LangString and use $(LangStringName) as value. For a license text in multiple languages, LicenseLangString can be used. Refer the NSIS Users Manual for more information about installers with multiple languages. In all text settings, the doublequote character (") should be escaped in the following form: $\" ### General page settings MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT text Text to display on the header of the page.

MUI_UNCONFIRMPAGE_TEXT_LOCATION text Text to display next to the uninstall location text box. ## 4. Language files Insert the Modern UI language files for the languages to want to include.
    !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
The standard NSIS language files are loaded automatically, there is no need to use LoadLanguageFile. ## 5. Reserve files If you are using solid compression, files that are required before the actual installation should be stored first in the data block, because this will make your installer start faster. Include reserve file commands for such files before your sections and functions:
    ReserveFile MyPlugin.dll
    !insertmacro MUI_RESERVEFILE_LANGDLL ;Language selection dialog
    ...
# Script code for pages Some pages allow you to show additional information or can be used to get user input. Here you can find the script code to use these features. ## Components page descriptions The Modern UI components page has a text box in which a description can be shown when the user hovers the mouse over a component. If you don't want to use these descriptions, insert the MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_NODESC interface setting. To set a description for a section, an additional parameter needs to be added to Section commmand with a unique identifier for the section. This name can later be used to set the description for this section.
    Section "Section Name 1" Section1
       ...
    SectionEnd
After the sections, use these macros to set the descriptions:
    LangString DESC_Section1 ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Description of section 1."
    LangString DESC_Section2 ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Description of section 2."

    !insertmacro MUI_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_BEGIN
      !insertmacro MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT ${Section1} $(DESC_Section1)
      !insertmacro MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT ${Section2} $(DESC_Section2)
    !insertmacro MUI_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_END
For the uninstaller, use the MUI_UNFUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_BEGIN and MUI_UNFUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_END macros. ## Start Menu folder Put the code to write the shortcuts (using CreateShortcut) between the MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN and MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_END macros:
    !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN pageid
      ...create shortcuts...
    !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_END
The page ID should be the ID of the page on which the user has selected the folder for the shortcuts you want to write. The variable which contains the folder and the page ID are set as parameters of the page macro. # Language selection dialog If you want the installer to display a language selection dialog (see the the MultiLanguage.nsi example), insert the MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY macro in the .onInit function:
    Function .onInit

      !insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY

    FunctionEnd
This macro can also be used in the un.onInit function. ### Settings for registry storage of selected language To remember the user's preference, you can define a registry key. These defines should be set before inserting the installation page macro. MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_ROOT root MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_KEY key MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_VALUENAME value_name The registry key to store the language. The users preference will be remembered. You can also use it for the uninstaller to display the right language. Don't forget to remove this key in the uninstaller. For the uninstaller, insert the MUI_UNGETLANGUAGE macro in un.onInit to get the stored language preference:
    Function un.onInit

      !insertmacro MUI_UNGETLANGUAGE

    FunctionEnd
### Interface settings for selection dialog To customize the language selection dialog interface, use these defines before inserting the MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY macro. MUI_LANGDLL_WINDOWTITLE text The window title of the language selection dialog. MUI_LANGDLL_INFO text The text to display on the language selection dialog. MUI_LANGDLL_ALWAYSSHOW Always show the language selection dialog, even if a language has been stored in the registry. The language stored in the registry will be selected by default. MUI_LANGDLL_ALLLANGUAGES Always show all available languages and don't filter according to their codepage. # Custom pages If you want add your custom pages to your installer, you can insert your own page commands between the page macros.
    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
    Page custom FunctionName ;Custom page
    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

    ;Uninstaller
    !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM
    UninstPage custom un.FunctionName ;Custom page
    !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES
Use the MUI_HEADER_TEXT macro to set the text on the page header in a page function:
    LangString PAGE_TITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Title"
    LangString PAGE_SUBTITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Subtitle"

    Function CustomPageFunction
      !insermacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT $(PAGE_TITLE) $(PAGE_SUBTITLE)
      ...
    FuctionEnd
# Custom functions Interface functions provided by NSIS, like the .onGUIInit function and the page functions are automatically included by the Modern UI and filled with code to support new interface features. If you want to add additional code to these function, create a function with the custom script code in the script use the Modern UI functions call them. Example:
    !define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGuiInit

    Function myGUIInit
      ...
    FunctionEnd
Modern UI pages can also customized using custom functions. ### General Custom Functions These defines should be set before inserting the language macros. MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT function MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_UNGUIINIT function MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_ABORT function MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_UNABORT function MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_ONMOUSEOVERSECTION function MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_UNONMOUSEOVERSECTION function Mouse over functions are only available when the description macros (MUI_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_BEGIN) are used. When component page descriptions are not used, regular .onMouseOverSection and un.onMouseOverSection must be used. ### Page Custom Functions These defines should be set before inserting a page macro. MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE function MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW function MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE function The pre function is called first and allows you to initalize variables or decide whether the page should be skipped. Then, the show function is called, which can be used to customize the interface. Finally, the user input can be validated in the leave function. The NSIS Users Manual provides more information about these functions. In the show function, the window handles of all controls on the page can be retrieved from a Modern UI variable. A list of the variables names is not yet available. For now, refer to the source files of the Modern UI 2.0. The variable declarations can be found in the first lines of the header file for a certain page. # Example scripts Basic: Basic.nsi Welcome/Finish page: WelcomeFinish.nsi Multiple languages: MultiLanguage.nsi Header image: HeaderBitmap.nsi Start Menu Folder page: StartMenu.nsi # Credits Written by Joost Verburg.
