Simple 3rd party installer
:) New to NSIS -- I've done batch files but never anything this complex.

I searched the forums but can't find what I'm looking for.

I'd apprecite some Help on creating a simple installer that installs a 3rd party program from within NSIS.
basically, fire it up, and it downloads a program, then executes it.

All the examples, that I can find are installing an application...not running someone else's EXE from within NSIS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :up:

thanks :)

Use the InetLoad plugin to download the file (search this forum).
Use Exec, ExecWait to run it. If it is a command-line program use nsExec::Exec to hide the command-line window.
