Creating Interface for the Compiler
Hi,

im relatively new to NSIS and i my task is to find out how to design an interface where you can type in some information about your installer, just like the name, eula ...

After that i just need to click a button like "Create Installer" and the infos i typed in before will be send to MakeNSISW -> Compile -> Setup.exe

First of all im asking myself which programming language would be the best to solve this.
The problem is, i dont know where i can save the information for the installer, so that the MakeNSISW can read the infos and compile it.

Maybe someone already tried this and got some information about this :)

What I've done in the past is create a 2nd EXE using NSIS and a custom page. You fill in the blanks in the custom page, which then creates a "header file" (.NSH) to define whatever info you want included.

See http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Invoking...n_compile-time for more info.
