I have changed the .nsi format to be viewed in windows as text but i don't know how to change it back to application so it can install itself please can sombody help me?
You can use the command prompt and use ren or rename commands (ren currentfilename.txt newfilename.nsi) then next time you can use notepad to view without changing the file extensions.
Hope that helps you and its what you asked for
The file is the same .nsi the problem is that it opens with a text editor(wordpad) not as an application,that is my problem and i don't know how to fix it
What application you used to work with sripts?
Maybe i didn't make myself clear .nsi is an application if i would press it,it woud install itself but because of an mystake i have change it to open with a text editor and now i cant install the contents what i need is to make it to be an application again or basicly just a way to extract the stuff out of it
As far as I understood your problem, you want to run application (instalation) pressing nsi-file. But nsi-file is script. This is text file. If you want to create application (executable) you need to compile script -> MakeNSISW (GUI to compile scripts). Start -> Programs -> NSIS -> MakeNSISW. This is simlest way. Also you can use nsi-editors HMNIS, Venis or ElipseNSIS (for Elipse IDE).
If you right click on the .nsi file you should have a Compile NSIS Script menu option.

So thats why it didn't work the first time:rolleyes: i thot i did something wrong the .nsi are the scrips and the installer is something else
Thanks for clearing that up
