Multiple files instead single .exe
Hi!

Is it possible that NSIS compiler creates complete directory structure with all files included (and setup.exe which runs the installer), instead of creating single .exe?

Thanks!


If I'm thinking what you are thinking, then use CopyFiles to copy one file from one location to another.

That requires a lot of code in script. I was wondering if compiler has possibility to do that. So, insted making one .exe file (installation file containing all neccesery info), compiler makes neccesery directory structure, and copies all needed files uncompressed and generates setup.exe.

If you tried InstallShield Express, you know what I mean.


If you've got all the files on the CD beside your installer in a sub-folder, then one CopyFiles could copy the whole lot.
