ok.. Better yet I have found a example. And I just need to get a dll installed.

my instructions.
Copy the soandso.dll file into your NSIS installation's Plugins directory; this will expose the API to the scripting engine. In your NSIS script, register the DLL

what I know how to do so far...

Ok I know how to do this with all my other files... http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Simple_tutorials


I just need to add the dll to the plugin directory.. I am lost on what the plugin directory is..

Thanks

All I understood is in the end you dont know what plugins directory is?
Well if you're on windows , it is..

C:/program files/NSIS/plugins

Ok.. I am getting issues again. I am trying to compile but I keep getting an error.

Here is my code.. Do I need to make this a function of some sort?


${NSISDIR}\Plugins\stuff.dll

I have also tried -
!addplugindir "${NSISDIR}\Plugins\stuff.dll" ;
