create msi setup file using NSIS?
Hello, everyone.
I was trying to create an installer using NSIS
and it works great. However, I was wondering
if it's possible to create MSI type of setup file
using NSIS or is there a method to do it?

Thank you and have a great day :)

There is, by embedding your installer in an MSI package as a "Custom Action"... it can be done, but I warn you beforehand I know, since I did this, it is a steeeep learning curve.

You can op to use the "MAKEMSI" script tool from

Very good....

...but if you can, stick to NSIS: your installer will be so much more flexible!
