Zip, then install Help
IM VERY VERY NEW TOO NSIS! So please excuse my question. Im trying too create a exe that will unzip a certain file. Upon unziping it to say c:\righthere\file.exe. I would like too also be able too send it info like c:\righthere\file.exe /S and show progress...Is there an example or something somewhere someone can point me too?

hi,
ZipDLL and NxS or Banner (see NSIS Help) might be what you're looking for.

Don't worry Japanese will become english day after day. Just point your self in NSIS documentation and NSIS Examples (they are bundled with the installation). Browse The main NSIS site to find script editors and other usefull stuff, the site also has many examples as well as this forum. Coming to the forum be sure you'll grab the answer to every possible question you might have.

Just go ahead and smash the nutshell!
