I was looking for how to make an icon appear on the tray with Nsis. I found this: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NotifyIcon_plug-in

but its not working. Not even the examples. I compiled them and they only showed a blank spot where the icon should be.

Any ideas?

NSIS isn't generally very good for Tray Icons. Try AutoHotKey.

Siggys waste Bandwidth... that's why I have one.

unicode vs ansi? maybe something's not properly done in the example. Make sure all the files are exactly right

The NotifyIcon.nsi script seems to work OK on my Windows 7 (64-bit) system when compiled with NSIS 2.45 (ANSI).

The icon appears and the "Starting installation...", "Installation is finished!" and "Tip is back!" balloons appear.

The only thing that seems to be missing is the "Completed %d%%" progress text.

I haven't tried in ANSI, just Unicode. I'll try it again...
