Delphi Plugin

RBIBBY · 16th December 2008, 14:41

Hello,

I want to write a plugin using Delphi.

I have found the example exdll.dpr but I wondered if there was some documentation somewhere that explains what the requirements for NSIS plugins are?

Thanks.

just a dll with one or more exported functions (cdecl) the parameters are optional, but you need them if you need access to the stack or variables

ok.. but is there some documnentation that describes how the paraneters defined.

I mean I can look at the code, but i want to understand why as well.

Hi,

take a look at the plugin source of my plugin. This plugin is written in Delphi and can help you. You can found the "NSIS Simple Service Plugin" in the wiki.

Best regards

Hello,

Thanks for that. The code is very easy to understand. The best part is I am already using your plugin in my NSIS Install Script.
