How to protect installation files?
I tried to develop a installer which allows to install the .msi packages on the user system. Our main requirement is to protect the copyrighted softwares , as we are going on community development project.
So could you please give me an idea as how to protect those source files after installation on the user system? Can i delete the source files after installation? Please help me with your suggestions...
Thanks,

What source files do you speak of, sorry?
If you mean the NSIS ones then you don't need to include them in the installer...

You would need to implement your security within your software itself, not the installer.
The installer is just responsible for placing files and configuring the user system, unless you implement a security system between the software and NSIS installer.
