Sharepoint 2003 and NSIS
I'm using NSIS to install a web application.
When the app is installed on a server with Sharepoint, it must be added to the excluded paths. I do it manually following these steps:
[list=1][*]Enter the SharePoint Central Administration[*]Enter the Configure virtual server settings in the Virtual Server Configuration area[*]in the Virtual Server List select the server running the app[*]Below Virtual Server Management, press Define Managed Paths[*]On the section Add a New Path, enter the path of the app[*]Press Excluded Path and then OK[/list=1]

But I guess I wouldn't be a good installer if I cannot do this automatically don't you think?

The problem is: I don't know how to do this with NSIS. Is it possible? If so... HOW??? Thks

you need to figure out where all that stuff gets stored, registry or a file or what. then you use NSIS to make the changes

or else you need to find out if there is a command line utility that can be used to make the changes, then you can use NSIS to drive the utility
