Windows PE
I know that the features page lists all the major versions of Windows that NSIS is compatable with. I was just wondering if it is compatable with Windows PE - or has anyone used it on there successfully? Thanks in advance!


Well it should be a complete Win32 environment based on Windows XP, I think it should work as on a normal system...

It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support.

What is Windows PE? do you mean Windows N ?
Or do you mean CE? Personally I see no use of having NSIS running on CE. But theoretically it must run also on CE after recompile and ARM speciffic issues (if at all) solved.


Windows Preinstallation. Basically it's a cut down (limited) version of Windows XP which is free under license and runs off the CD!
