NSIS: Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
- Const-me 4y agoIt's an awesome installer, I used it in the past. If a person knows any scripting language at all, I think they will create an installer with NSIS in less than a day of work. Still, for commercial-quality software I prefer my installers to be declarative, not scriptable. With a scriptable one, it's easy to leave installed files after uninstalling, break things when an installer fails near the end, or even introduce security bugs with wrong permissions on executable files. That's why when people pay me to develop software for them, I use WIX to make MSI packages: https://wixtoolset.org/ https://wixtoolset.org/ Despite the learning curve is rather steep for that one.
