Hi List!

What about using the "modern user interface" feature for the Win32 NSIS packaging?

The current installer looks a bit "old fashioned" right now and it's the first thing the user
will see.

Current releases of the NSIS installer program are offering a "modern user interface" feature,
which will build a much nicer installer than the current one.

Have a look at:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Contrib/Modern%20UI/Readme.html

to get an idea of what I'm talking about.


To use this feature, the packaging/nsis/ethereal.nsi script has to be changed.

As I'm currently changing the script of another project I'm working on, 
it shouldn't be too hard for me to change the ethereal script also.

The only disadvantage I see, is that someone who wants to build an ethereal-setup.exe has to update his NSIS to the latest version (currently 2.0b4), available at:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/site/Download.6.0.html

Are there any good reasons not to do so?

Regards, ULFL
