I have added a custom page to my installer created using nsDialogs, however, the page is only necessary to be displayed to one of my InstType options. InstType "Default" # 1 InstType "Developer" # 2 In the example above, I'd like the extra page to be shown to only developers. What is the best practice? Inspect some attribute to det...
Hi, I have an executable on my disk-on-key in dir\program\prog.exe I'd like to have a shortcut to the executable on the DoK's root directory, that is, prog.lnk would refer to dir\program\prog.exe.

I have an NSIS installer that installs my Qt application. At the end of the install process, the installer gives the user the option to launch the application immediately.

Is there a standard/preferred method for automatically downloading and installing the .NET 4.0 Framework from an NSIS installer, if the machine doesn't already have it? There are several examples for making this work on older versions of the framework, but seemingly none of them work for 4.0. Before I hack something together myself, I ...

When installing my application I also install the .NET 4.0 redistributable if .NET 4.0 is not present on the machine. On Windows-7 this sometimes (maybe always) causes a reboot (outside of nsis's control). I should like the installation to continue after the reboot. I should be grateful for advice on how to address this scenario with ...

I'm looking at distributing an windows app that needs to use the "Chroot" on windows solution described here. I've build some simple installers before but nothing complicated (i.e. one that creates users and deals with windows permissions) so I'm looking for a starting point. Does anyone know of a installer that sets up the stuff needed ...
I built NSIS 2.46 on my OS X computer according to the instructions provided at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixG.html#G.3. The build worked fine and it correctly creates my installer. My installer is fully working, but I tried to add the command: TargetMinimalOS 5.0 This isn't essential to my task; as I understand it, all i...
I have written a Java app and an NSIS installer. Works great. The issue is when there is a new version, the full installer needs to be downloaded and run (and possibly the old version uninstalled first). How do you achieve the "Help >> Check for updates" system that Chrome, Firefox, dozens of other applications use to make staying curre...

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 ...

I'm writing an installer in NSIS, which is kind of a wrapper for another installer, created with NSIS. The inner installer is not mine. It's created with BioWare Installer 1.03 (NSIS 2.34). It may be broken somehow, but I can't modify it! What my installer does is that it simply modifies some registry values (otherwise the "inner" instal...
