Question regarding 3rd party installer

corley · 18th June 2004, 22:52

Hi,

I have a quick question. I have just started working with NSIS and I was wondering if someone would be willing to answer my question. I seared the forums and whatnot, and could not find exactly what I was looking for.

What I wish to do with NSIS is build an installer that will download the 2 zip files, extract them, then run their respective executables.

Also, on top of that during their exectuables, I would like(if possible) to have NSIS automatically interact with the windows by pressing next and filling in some fields.

Is this at all possible?

I would appreciate any code snippets, links that would help, etc ,etc. Thanks.

It should be possible using Windows API (System plug-in). You can also try to find out whether these installers have a silent mode.

To extract ZIP files search the Archive for ZIP. You should find ZipDLL.
