Install NSIS from the command line? (NOT an installer made with NSIS)
Hi,

Is there a way to automatically install/deploy NSIS itself? I'm publishing to a cloud server that automatically writes out a script file and compiles an installer on the fly. I need to make sure NSIS is always installed on whatever cloud server I push to, so I need a command-line based install for it.

If this isn't possible right now, is there anything that the NSIS installer does aside from copy over the files needed? E.g. set registry keys? If not, I can just copy it over each time I push to the cloud automatically.

Thanks.


The /S and /D switches should work. If you don't need startmenu shortcuts etc then you can just copy the install folder if you want...
