Publisher's Description of NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System)

" A script-based tool for Windows installer development. "
- From NSIS Development Team

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open-source system to create Windows installers. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore very suitable for internet distribution.

Being a user's first experience with your product, a stable and reliable installer is an important component of successful software. With NSIS you can create such installers that are capable of doing everything that is needed to setup your software.

NSIS is script-based and allows you to create the logic to handle even the most complex installation tasks. Many plug-ins and scripts are already available: you can create web installers, communicate with Windows and other software components, install or update shared components and more.

Features:
* Created to be small, fast and efficient
* Compatible with all major Windows versions
* Choose between three different integrated compression methods (ZLib, BZip2, LZMA)
* Script based. Unlike other systems that can only generate installers based on a list of files and registry keys, NSIS has a powerful scripting language.
* One installer can support multiple interface languages.
* The script language provides commands you can use on the target system, from simple features like folder creation and registry editing to text/binary file modification, modification of environment variables and system reboots. Using provided plug-ins, you can even use Windows API.
* You can create custom wizard pages to get user input or integrate configuration options. NSIS includes a classic and modern wizard interface, but it is even possible to create your own custom interface.
* The NSIS distribution includes a set of plug-ins that allow you to download files from the internet, make internet connections, patch existing files and more.
* Project integration, different releases and automatic builds. The NSIS compiler features a powerful preprocessor.
* The NSIS script format and the format used for interface dialogs are easy, documented and humanly readable.
* Portable Compiler. The NSIS compiler can be compiled for POSIX platforms like Linux and *BSD.
* Uninstall support (installer can generate an uninstaller)
* Customizable user interface (dialogs, fonts, backgrounds, icons, text, checkmarks, images etc.)
* Installer self-verification using a CRC32 checksum
* Ability to display a license agreement in text or RTF format
* Ability to detect destination directory from the registry
* Installers can be as large as 2GB
* Optional silent mode for automated installations
* A preprocessor with support for defined symbols, macros, conditional compilation, standard predefines
* A lovely coding experience with elements of PHP and assembly (includes user variables, a stack, real flow control, etc.)
