Install with external files

Hello,

I want to make an installer that can install files not included in the EXE and in a separate folder. I have not find any samples yet with something like it. I plan to use NSISdl to do this but I don't know if it is the right way to do it. The external files can reach up to 100MB so I don't want to include it in EXE. Any ideas?

Thanks,
katips😁

Check out the 'CopyFiles' function. If the files are compressed you can use one of several plugins found on NSIS Archive - Download Page such as ExtractDll.
