Including Redistributables
Hello,

I know in Wise Installation and Install Sheild, you have a bunch of redistributables that can be included in the install.

I would like to include http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Redistributable in my install...Is this possible in NSIS?

(or is the common method just copying every single file to where it's suppose to go?)

Thanks,
Kyle

Most pacakges such as this one will allow you to run in silent mode with a command line paramater. (If you run MS's EXE with a "/?", it should tell you what those parameters are).

Therefore, what should work is just package their EXE with your NSIS setup and run it with an ExecWait command using the silent switch.

Microsoft also pacakges some of these things as Windows installer packages, which you can use MSIEXEC to install them, which might be another option for you.
