NEW Awsome tool made for you guys!
Have you ever gotten tired of typing all of the file names manually to be installed or un-installed?

What about patches?

Well, you'll have to wait about a day for me to perfect the tool for patches, but here is my solution to reduce typing

in my installer I place a line: include install.nsh
and then lower down I place include uninstall.nsh

then to make those files, I would run.
PyTis_NSIS_Walker.exe -dProject -m0 > install.nsh
PyTis_NSIS_Walker.exe -dProject -m1 > uninstall.nsh

Now I wrote this in python, but I knew most of you wouldn't have python. So I used py2exe to compile it so that you guys could run it as an executable. No need for an installer, just run it from wherever you un-extract the zip file to.

Also, it can be ran from the command line (it should be) but it is smart enough to run if you double click on it too.

I compiled this in vista, so let me know if you guys have any bugs.

======================== NSIS 2.45 Application Walker =========================

        The app walker will create output to be used in .nsh includes for 
    the NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).  The .nsh files can then be
    included in the install and un-install sections.

    Mode 1:  creates the install lines
    Mode 2:  creates the uninstall lines

    Documentation for NSIS can be found at:
        http://NSIS.sourceforge.net/
