NSIS used for DesertCombat's installer
www.desertcombat.com a mod for a game called Battlefield 1942

The file is a nice 541mb, contains about 930mb and seems to be going quite well. The last release using setupfactory got over a million downloads so I'd expect this one to be around the same.

Just thought you guys might appreciate seeing your work in action, keep up the good work.

I am a tester for it and I wrote the original NSIS script for them to modify.
One feature I am really looking forward to is 7zip, I recompressed it all using 7zip, saved an extra 100mb over bzip2 and it was faster to decompress. so the 930mb(uncompressed) went to 430mb(7zip) instead of 540mb(bzip2)
Very impressive. I hope the NSIS guys get that working soon :)

NSIS will support LZMA compression soon.
