Using KiCHiK's NSIS 2 modifications, it is possible
to create new user interfaces for the Nullsoft Installer System.
I made this interface with a modern wizard style,
like the wizards of recent Windows versions. This new interface
also features new icons (designed by adni18) and a description
area on the component select dialog.
To use this new UI for for installer, you need
to add some code to your NSIS script, which you can see in Example.nsi.
KiCHiK's
NSIS 2 modifications, version 2.0 alpha 7 (or later)
Have a look at the example script, Example.nsi.
This is an example of how the use this interface for your NSIS
installer.
To change elements on the dialogs, modify modern.exe
in the Contrib\UIs folder using a a resource editor such as
Resource Hacker.
This new interface uses some additional texts
which are not included in the standard NSIS language files.
If you want to create a multilanguage installer, you need to
control this texts by your script.
The 'Loading Setup' text on the slash screen
which is being displayed when the installer is starting (Verifying
installer, Unpacking data when using COMPRESS_WHOLE) cannot
be changed by the script, because the installer is not started
yet when this dialog is being displayed. If you want to change
this text, modify dialog 111 of modern.exe.
To 'verifying installer' and 'unpacking data'
texts are defined in the language header file of the NSIS exehead
(Source\exehead\lang.h). To change them, you need to edit this
file and recompile NSIS.

Icons designed by Nikos Adamamas, aka adni18.
Thanks to Amir Szekely, aka KiCHiK for his NSIS modifications
to make this possible.
