NSIS Extractor
Hi everybody.
I'm looking for a software that would extract the content of a .exe generated with NSIS.
I was trying to install a big file (.exe of 2Go) in d:
Unfortunately, the installer is creating a tmp file in c: and this drive is already full, so installation is aborted.
With this extractor, I would be able to extract the content of the installer directly to d:
THank you for help
To the best of my knowledge, no such software exist. You might be able to change your temporary directory, so the C: drive will not be used:
Assuming you're using XP, this is how you do it:
Go to the Desktop. Right-click "My computer". Choose Properties. Select the tab "Advanced". Click "Environment variables". Select TEMP from the topmost list. Click Edit, and type a new path that points to your D: drive.
You may or may not need to reboot before it takes effect.
Why installer creates a big tmp file? I know about tmp $PLUGINSDIR, but it takes <100 kB. This might happen if user selects 'Open' for exe file to be downloaded from Net(IE creates tmp file this case), but user can select 'Save' to D: as well (and run it later).
