Creating Pluggins
Hello,

I am new to NSIS.Is there any documentation available how to create Plugins for NSIS using C++.Is it possible to write pluggins using Visual Basic.

Also is it possible to create structures(as in C/C++) in NSIS scripts.

How to read binary files using NSIS script?

Best regards

Joseph

There's no documentation for creating plug-ins. It's pretty straight forward, just create a function as in the example and export it. The example is available in Contrib\ExDLL in the source. The other plug-ins are also good examples.

You can't create plug-ins using VB.

You can handle structures with the System plug-in.

You can read binary files byte by byte using FileReadByte or you can use one of the available plug-ins on the Wiki.
