nsis capabilities
i am very new to nsis installer. i need to install my java application on users. i would like to know if nsis is capable of my needs.

- multiple target locations...

- check if jdk is installed.
to install the java application i wrote i need to check if the java is
installed. if not installed or if the version is lower than 1.4.2 then
it should provide option to install jdk 1.4.2 now (or later).

- check if tomcat is installed.

- change value of some parameters during installation based on users input and use these values to change parameter value in my installation.

i will really appreciate if anyone of you can answer if izpack is able to do it.

Thanking you all in advance....

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!


NSIS should be able to do what you're looking for...though you'll have to read the documentation for most of it. You can check this out: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...10&instances=0 in the Archives for things like "what version of the JDK is installed"
