# NSIS-UI-Plugin
Create beautiful, modern UI setup for windows.
Using Qt as default UI library, you can use any UI library in theory, such as [DuiLib](https://github.com/winsoft666/duilib2).
---
# Dependencies
**1. NSIS**
Download [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download) and install, then add `NSIS_DIR` system environment variable as NSIS install directory.
**2. Python**
Install Python just for execute `NsisScriptGenerate.py` script.
After installed, add the direcotry where `Python.exe` is located to `Path` system environment variable.
**3. Qt**
NSIS-UI-Plugin use Qt as UI library by default.
The Qt installer will add the `QtDIR` system environment variable as Qt install directory. If it not be added automatically, you need to add it manually.
**4. Visual Studio**
Install Visual Studio and "Qt VS Tool" plugin, configure Qt version and install directory.
---
# Getting Started
**Compile NSIS-UI-Plugin**
After installing the above dependencies, then open `NSIS-UI-Plugin\NSIS-UI-Plugin.vcxproj` project, setting Qt version in project property page.
Compile project, Visual Studio's *After Build Event* will copy target file(Debug: `nsQtPluginD.dll` Release: `nsPlugin.dll`) to NSIS plugin directory(`NSIS_DIR\Plugins\x86-unicode`).
If the copy fails, it may be caused by permission issues. You need to run Visual Studio with administrator rights and compile again.
**Generate Setup**
`VimeoSetup` directory is sample about how to use NSIS-UI-Plugin.
```txt
App -- Place the files that need to be packaged into the installer
VCRuntimeDLL -- Place VC++ runtime files(Debug/Release), Qt compiled with MD mode by default.
vimeo-template.nsi -- NSIS template script file,`-template` suffix is fixed, can't change. NsisScriptGenerate.py will generate vimeo.nsi based on this template.
build-setup [debug].bat -- Generate Debug mode setup, that means using debug version Qt/NSIS-UI-Plugin.
build-setup [debug].bat -- Generate Release mode setup
```
Place the files you need to packaged into the `App` directory, then run `build-setup.bat` to generate the installer.
>`NsisScriptGenerate.py`:
Since NSIS has no way to get file extract progress/details, so I write `NsisScriptGenerate.py`, enumerate `App` folder, add each file by `File` command, call `SetInstallStepDescription` interface to notify installing details.

For example only, you can use any UI library to create any UI by yourself.
