Is it possible to import nsis code and run it from within a compiled nsis executable?
Suppose I have a nsis script fubar.nsi
and compile it to fubar.exe
. For strange reasons*, I also have some additional nsis statements that I want to read in and execute when fubar.exe is run - I am not sure what they will be until then.
Does a plugin or method to do this exist? Or is it simply not possible/advisable?
*the reason is I have several small software updates and I would rather run the statements sequentially together, prompting 1
Windows UAC request, than execute x
separate .exe files instead and generate x
requests.
Edit: I think a better approach might be to use the UAC
plugin for the separate .exe
files combined with setting
SilentInstall silent
AutoCloseWindow true
ShowInstDetails hide
in the individual updates.
