Question about Nullsoft Install System

Is it any possibly to extarct files without instal from those files... like from self-extracting archives?

Sorry, don't quite understand.

If you want to create a Self-Extractor, there's a few like NSIS Self-Extractor and CKV Self-Extractor.

This question has been asked several times through the forums. The short answer is no.

If you want to have the ability to extract files without actually running the install, my suggestions would be to setup some type of command-line function to extract files. Such as "/e". There's plenty of documentation in the manuals for hints on how to deal with reading command line values.

Sorry, but i have search answer quite long time but have not found it... maby pecause my worst english skils, and wrong search arguments. I have tested that "/e" as argument for compiled plugin installer, but still it want do install progres and not only extract files.

I think that you try say that i should give that argument for installer compiler, not created Plugin installer? I try search Nullsoft installer compiler and it's manual...


Thanks for you both about answer.

Try InstallExporer plugin for TotalCommander or FAR

Good Luck

Well...one example of simple extraction is when you use File and paramter /oname
