New plug-in nsisMultiMon released!
Hello there,

I finally got some spare time and created a small plug-in for NSIS. This new plugin is called nsisMultiMon.

nsisMultiMon is a plugin for NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) that provides easy multi monitor management for installers. With this plugin, you can determine the number of monitors, get various coordinates and sizes, monitor namings or simply put the complete installer on another connected monitor.

nsisMultiMon was tested on Windows 2000 and Windows XP so far.

I'm using NSIS quite a while and wanted to give something back to the community!

Also I already managed to set up a page in the developer Wiki, but since I'm not a Wiki god, please forgive me some formatting issues, maybe somebody could improve this site a bit :-)

You can find the page here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSISMultiMon_plug-in

A download of the attached file and a link on the plug-ins page on the Wiki page would be also fine ...

Please check this plug-in out and let me know what you think of it.

Regards,

Andreas

Hello Stu,

I updated the Wiki site a bit, but I still did not get it managed to add a link on the plug-in directory here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Category:Plugins

Maybe you could help me a bit?

Thanks!

Add [[Category:Plugins]] at the end of the page. You should also upload the plug-in using the upload page and then use <attach> on your page.

Hi tinsold "Andreas"

A really innovative plugin your "nsisMultiMon", Great!

If time permits I'll test it on various multimonitor setup scenario's under Vista and will report defect found to your SF pages.
