Question

I would like to replace the default logo in my NSIS installer (see image below), but I cannot find anything about this on the internet. Can it be done?

Answer 1

For the sake of completion, this is the full code I used to change the logo (using Anders method) and the executable icon (using CharlesB method). Also included MUI2.nsh as mentioned by Yuri Korolov.

!include "MUI2.nsh"

!define MUI_ICON "path\to\icon.ico"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "path\to\InstallerLogo.bmp"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT

I found that the standard bitmap exported by GIMP wouldn't display the .bmp file in the header. However if I exported a bitmap from Paint then it would work. – Tangerine

@Tangerine This GIMP's behaviour even today still applies. – Burgee

Answer 2

put this anywhere in your .nsi (after inclusion of MUI.nsh):

!define MUI_ICON path_to_icon_file.ico

Answer 3

With MakeNSISW 2.3 only type Icon

Icon "MyIcon.ico"

Answer 4

MUI_ICON changes the .exe icon and that icon is used by default in the MUI header but if you want to use a specific bitmap in the header you can use MUI_HEADERIMAGE/MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP

You can find all the Modern UI configuration options in the docs

Answer 5

You have to include MUI or MUI2 in order to make it work in your script

!include "MUI2.nsh"

!define MUI_ICON "icon.ico"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "header.bmp"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT
