Hacking Zip2exe

Hey, im trying to hack zip2exe so i dont have to type all of my files in my installer (700+), is there a way to just add all the files in folder X ? Thanks, Mech.

Uhm... Zip to exe converts Zip's to NSIS Installers... So what is the problem? Compress your files into a Zip with "Save full path info" checked (WinZip).

Or, make an NSIS script with
File /r "myfolder"
to compress "myfolder" and everything in it.

There are other programs with wizards you could use instead if you don't like zip2exe:

NSIS Self-Extractor 0.14
HM NIS Edit 2.0.1
Venis IX 2.2.3
and you can find (if there are) some others on:

Thanks so much, it worked and saved me hours of time, reason is, because I read a tutorial on NSIS scripting, but it was old. Anyway, im also trying to make an updater, like the NSIS one, I read the readme and tried to hack at waplugin.nsi but no luck. Help?

You want to make an NSIS installer that downloads files?
If so, use NSISdl plugin to download files.
