Install/Update
Alright, I have looked through the forums but I'm not really sure what to search for. Here's what I want to do:

Create an installer that patches files. That's it. It needs to go through and check to see if the files that are defined have a new modified date or are bigger, something. After it's done this it needs to remove the old files and place the updated files in.

Firstly, is this possible with NSIS. Secondly, how would I go about doing it? I'm not asking for the code entirely (but it is welcome) I'm just asking for a direction to head in order to accomplish this.


check NSIS manual 4.8.2.8 SetOverwrite


Will do.

Thanks for feeding my ignorance.
