Just a place for me to put some notes about the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), a Windows installer.
Stuff I will use
- Signing an uninstaller
- Find and close or terminate a running application, although I really want to check to see if I can overwrite the target.
Stuff I've used
- Getting the installer filename because I'm going to want to package up the .NET framework installer on the source CD as well, and probably offer the option of doing it from download if that's not found so that the same installer package can be used for net installs.
- Shortcuts removal fails on Windows vista because I need to make sure that I've got Vista compatibility nailed.
- Prevenging the user from running multiple instances of the installer
