What the difference about NSIS script and Zip convertScript or Zip c
Thanks for all for the response.

I try use NSIS script to distributed and install a web application.

The application must be under Document_Root of the web server (at this moment I try only with Apache 1.3.24).

The structure of the my application it is like below:

..../Document_Root/myApplication/src
................................/src/php
................................/src/html
................................/src/js
................................/xml
................................/tmp
................................/log
................................/cfg
and so on.

I can view with same test it is very complex for me to costomize a script for install all main root and sub-directory.

I can see thare are Zip convert. It cam be to help me about costomize a package with NSIS.

I ask for all if there are a solution for to realize a good script NSIS instead ZIP convert.

Better: it is possibile tolink from script NSIS a funziont or options of the ZIP convert?

I hope to explain well. Thanks. Ciao Franco.

SetOutPath $INSTDIR\sv\cfg
File "C:\ProveInstallazione\fedra\sv\cfg\*.*"

but I am waiting for undestand well how can I use ZIP compiler and because there are two method of this pgm.

Thanks.


NSIS compresses the files for you. You can disable compression, but by default it is on. When using the File command, all the files added always gets compressed, you don't need to include a zip file, although possible.
