New tool - Visual & Installer for Visual Studio
Hi all!

I would like to introduce my new tool on which I have been working for some time.
It is called Visual & Installer - it is FREE Visual Studio Add-in for creating NSIS and Inno Setup installers. It integrates NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) and Inno Setup with Microsoft Visual Studio IDE and allows you to create and build NSIS and Inno Setup projects right within Visual Studio getting all benefits of common integrated environment!

Visual & Installer installation package also contains Graphical Installer Wizard - optional tool for creating cool-looking skinned NSIS and Inno Setup installers (based on Graphical Installer) directly in Visual Studio. With it whole installer can be created by a few clicks - No manual writing is necessary!

Some developers talk:
I found several good topics here on this forum which inspired me to create this tool:

Many people requested this feature in NSIS but no solution was totally user friendly.
Recently I needed to integrate NSIS installer with Visual Studio so I created simple add-in for this purpose - and now everyone can use it!

This tool in in BETA stage - currently only Visual Studio 2010 is supported.
Please let me know about bugs or missing features [post reply in this topic] - I will try to improve this tool!
