Install with external files

katipunero · 6th November 2003, 03:20

Hello,

I want to make an installer that can install files not included in the EXE and in a separate folder. I have not find any samples yet with something like it. I plan to use NSISdl to do this but I don't know if it is the right way to do it. The external files can reach up to 100MB so I don't want to include it in EXE. Any ideas?

Thanks,
katips

Check out the 'CopyFiles' function. If the files are compressed you can use one of several plugins found on NSIS Archive - Download Page such as ExtractDll.
