What is NSIS built on?
 

On what compiler is NSIS built on?

I'm building it on visual studio 6 and getting very different stubs from the one in the NSIS distribution (source i'm compiling matches the version i'm downloading)

I think I remember reading somewhere that you guys build it with visual studio 6

I'm wondering because I'd like to build it as similarly as you guys do, so that my installers are recognized as NSIS installers by signature scanners (the ones I build aren't)

If you can please detail the specifications that you build NSIS on I'd appreciate it (including service packs, etc)

Did you read the Building Nsis topic in the help file?

Did now. Thank you :)
