Run a command after installer compilation

dhalsim2 · 27th July 2006, 18:31

Is it possible to run a command from within an .nsi script after an installer has been compiled?

Specifically, I'd like to sign the .exe with Microsoft's signcode.

You can run a program on the stub itself, without the data, using !packhdr. However, there's no way to run a program after the installer is completely ready. You can use a batch file for that.

Couldn't you just run the command using a !system or !execute command as the very last line of your NSI script file? (I'm just being curious...)

That won't work as the compression/build process is only performed after the script has been parsed and executed.
You'd need a batch file to run makensis and then run the program.

Or, create a batch file from an nsis script

Hi dhalsim2

Maybe

is of use for you. With this script you dont have to enter the password for the certificate each time.

If you need a sample for NSIS output signing, you can find it on www.quicksupport.org Download, Extract the package, in the Path Paket\ there are several batchfiles.

Hope this helps.

Greetings,

Bruno
