Compile?
Okay, you can call this a stupid question, but I'm new to this so please help. I have the .nsi file all ready to go, but how the heck do you compile it into a .exe installer?

Thanks

Right-click on the .nsi file and click "Compile NSI" From the menu that pops up.

Or, copy the makensis.exe file that you want to use and place it in the same folder as the .nsi file. Then you can do 2 things:

1) Drag the .nsi file on to the makensis.exe app and that will compile it.

2) In the DOS comand prompt, use DOS commands to the folder of the .nsi file and then type:

makensis file.nsi

there you can also use the /commands listed in the makensis.htm file.
