I'm a bit new to NSIS.
When installing, can NSIS copy files from a folder (in a CD etc.) or extract
files from a compressed file like cab,
without compressing all the files in to a single exe ?
What if my program is about 200MB and I dont wanna build a single exe ?🙄

Single exe Problem

Hi !
I don't see exactly what's the problem with building a single exe, even if your files are big (except the compilation time 😁).. Well, you probably have good reasons..
So here you go, taken from the documentation chapter "4.9.3 General Purpose Instructions, 4.9.3.2 CopyFiles" :
CopyFiles [/SILENT] [/FILESONLY] filespec_on_destsys destination_path [size_of_files_in_kb]
The docs can be found here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/ 🙂

Err, sorry I forgot about compressed files 😁
There is a useful plugin designed to unzip files there (it doesn't work with cab file though):

Sometimes I have encountered problems running the setup after I have copeid a BIG single exe to a CD,
or what if I want to distribute a setup in floppy's or something ? 😁
Thanx for your reply man. I'll defenetly check the links and the plug-in.👍
