Using 7zip to decompile nsis script

I've been reading that there's a way with 7zip to decompile the internal NSIS script... But from 7z's UI and commandline options I don't see how to possibly do this

Anyone know?

Thanks

7-Zip can open NSIS installers just like any other type of (SFX) archive that it supports:



That's it

My Plugins: StdUtils | NSISList | CPUFeatures | ExecTimeout | KillProc

One of the older 7zip betas did decompile the .nsi as well but the output is not something you can just pass to makensis...

Interesting. I'm using the latest 7-Zip 15.08 beta and it doesn't seem to have the "capability" anymore.

That was removed fairly soon after its introduction many years ago (see original thread)
