How to pass LOCALFILE to Library.nsh as a variable

[kichik]

destfile doesn't contain a path of a local file that needs to be compressed into the installer while localfile does. destfile tells the Library macro where to put the file. That doesn't affect which files it needs to compress. It can be totally dependent on how the script runs on the user's machine.

With localfile, it's a completely different story. The compiler can't run the script on your machine, while compiling it, in order to find out which files it needs to compress. Even if it could run the script somehow, it can't predict which values the registers will contain on the user's machine. It can't predict which files it needs to compress. You must specify them explicitly.
