Is NSIS what I need ?

Hi all,

I want to know if NSIS is what I could use for the follwing scenario:
- I don't have to actually create an installer (like the ones I create with InstallShield) as what I need is for a user to launch and .exe file, the application to request some inputs/paths/etc from user and based on that to do some copy/edit files/replace parameters.

Thanks a lot,
Bianca

Nsis can do alot more than just installers. I found a page in the wiki that is technically a nsis installer, but do something completely different to installing. I have created a script that recursively searches a directory tree for *.nsi files and write them to a file. Then compiles them with makensis.
