Replace a file within an installation executable
I need a method of replacing a file within a nsis executable. I cannot unpack and repack the installation. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jon

well, nsis is open source, so just dig in =)

I know that's not the answer you want, but currently there is no way to do this. If this file is somewhat small, you could store it at the end of the .exe (it will not be compressed) See http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ReadCustomerData

Thanks Anders, I know the "code it myself" option is there...I was just hoping that someone else had already done it :-)

Anyway, I might be able to make use of the ReadCustomerData solution you've posted...I'll give that a shot first.

Thanks,
Jon
