Console Version of NSIS
Is there a console version of NSIS anywhere?

Like, something that I could include in a free software package?

Also, how do I get the directory that the installer is in, and use it later in the script?

What do you mean? Installer showing the ms-dos window?

You can use NSIS with any software

Also, how do I get the directory that the installer is in, and use it later in the script?

Use $EXEDIR. Did you try the docs?

Thanks for telling me about $EXEDIR

But by console version, I mean, is there a version of MakeNSISW where, in command prompt, I can type in something like nsis.exe -c file.txt, and it'll make an installer file out of the code in file.txt?

Thanks.

The 'makeNSIS' program does this. Have a look at Chapter 3 in the NSIS Users Manual:
