	I'~~m not~~ the ~~least bit impressed by celebrities~~. ,		== Description ==

			One of the more common questions that get asked is how to add custom pages/dialogs to one's installer. You may want to get some user input and take action depending on that input.

			InstallOptions was the first way to add custom dialogs, with basic controls support such as text boxes, directory request fields and so on. There is also the [[InstallOptionsEx plug-in]] for more advanced dialogs with more controls and events.

			There are other plug-ins out there now to display a range of dialogs, such as the [[nsWeb plug-in]], the [[PassDialog plug-in]], the [[EmbeddedLists plug-in]] and now the nsDialogs plug-in with NSIS (to serve as a replacement for InstallOptions).

			To generate the InstallOptions INI files, [[List_of_InstallOptions_form_designers\|see this list of form designers]].
