Hi,
Is it possible to check if a file exists at compile time with NSIS?
I would like to like this functionality to make branding easier: if a file exists then use it, otherwise use a default file.
Thanks!

You will have to create an external application / NSIS Installer that sets a define.
Thanks,
Do you have any reference to a document describing how to make such an application, how to set a define from it and how to call upon it?
One solution I see is to call upon it is with !system and to use the return value from it. Another way would be to make a plug-in DLL, but as I understand it these are distributed with the package and used at runtime (am I right?).

If you just want to include files use the /nonfatal options for File.
Otherwise I recommend you to execute an application using !system and let it write a header file you can include.

Excellent idea (creating the header file)! Thanks!
