Standalone NSIS compiler?

alwa · 4th February 2011, 08:24

Hi,
I would like a way to "bundle" makensis with my project code so that anyone can compile the project without first having to install NSIS. Is there a way to do this?

I tried bundling only the .exe file but got compiler errors about missing files in the stubs folder... I'm sure there are more dependencies that I'm not aware of.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

If it says it's missing the stubs, add the stubs. It's very easy to figure out...

You need makensis + 1 stub, if you want an uninstaller you need the uninstaller file in the stubs folder as well, that is pretty much it but it does not make for a very feature rich installer.
