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?

Hi List!
Just checked in some changes to be able use the modern UI for the win32
NSIS installer.
If the common or modern style is used, can be switched in the config.nmake.
MAKENSIS_MODERN_UI must be defined in config.nmake, to use the modern
interface.
I have commented this out, to not influence existing installations.
Be sure to have the latest NSIS version installed, as only the current
V2.0b4 will work properly
with the modern UI script part!
