Webinstaller Tutorial
 

Hi,

I'm new to NSIS. I just created a normal Setup file for a small programm. I wanted to ask you if there is a good tutorial on how to create a websetup with NSIS. I want to create a setup which has the basic files included and some optional files can be downloaded from a http server.

Thanks.

Use the InetLoad plugin (from the Wiki) or the NSISdl plugin (bundled with NSIS) to download files from the internet.

Is there a big difference between these two? Is one more stable or does one have more features?

NSISdl should work wherever there are sockets and InetLoad should work wherever there's Internet Explorer. InetLoad has better proxy support because it uses Internet Explorer's API directly.

I created a setup application using InetLoad. It works. Thanks for your help :)
