Hi all,

unfortunately neither nor :)
it may compile on commandline on solaris but it wont run there.
nsis is windows gui only.
Hi Macaroana,
For non-Windows Installers, we here at Digi have switched to using BitRock InstallBuilder:
http://www.bitrock.com/products_inst..._overview.html
Its no where near as powerful as NSIS, but it supports a TON of platforms, (Linux, Solaris, AIX, etc).
Plus, it has a GUI and text mode built-in for all platforms, (which was a requirement for us)
It does cost some money, but the support is very good.
However, if your project is open source, they will give you a license for free.
Anyway, I wouldn't use it for Windows, as NSIS is *way* better than it, but for other platforms, its better than anything else I could find out there.
