Plug-in for portable apps installation scripts
I'm not sure what is the correct way to submit a plug-in, but we developed one for installing portable apps which might be useful to others. Basically, it finds the first removable drive in the system, and it can also find all removable drives. This can be used to validate the installation and calculate a decent default installation directory.

A realistic example script is also included, which uses the multi-language features of the MUI.

The .DLL file should be copied to the NSIS Plug-ins directory, as always.

The source code is very simple, and is included as a Visual C++ "solution".


You can create a page in the wiki and upload the file there.

Thanks for the info! The only thing else I needed to know was how to put it in a category, which I now know is done by putting something like [ [ Category:Plugins ] ] in the text.

Now the plug-in is posted in:
