Question to Notepad++ users
i know it has been asked here before, but it's terribly difficult to find. i'm trying to add a shortcut to notepad++ to compile the script. however, i don't remember the exact command to add.

i tried C:\Program Files\NSIS\makensisw.exe %1 with and without quotes

i should've looked in the notepad++ help in the first place:

C:\Program Files\NSIS\makensisw.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

hello,

Nsis makes notepad as a default editor,but using notepad we can't handle the script for correcting errors, the replacement for editing nsis script is notepad++. if we make notepad++ as a default editor to edit script means we lost the Compile Script command.

here is the solution to make notepad++ as a default editor to edit nsis scripts.

[HKCR\NSIS.Script\shell\open\command].there u see in the entry notepad as a default editor, there u change "notepad.exe to notepad++.exe" . thats it.

i hope it will help u
