I would like to make an installer who installs/launches several exe's. Basically a bunch of codec exe's for at codec guide I made..
I have tried several installers but they are quite complicated and I just haven't got the time.
Does anyone here know of and easy to use program that will let me specify a bunch of exe's that will be packed in one exe and when launched will install all the specified exe's one at the time.
I could not find the option to do this in NSIS Quick Setup Script Generator
Thanx in advance..

write your own nsis script
then execute the exe files with "ExecWait".
very easy.
you could even work with macros to decrease work and increase copy-paste action 🙂

copy all you exe files into one folder.
then paste the following code into a new textfile.
save it as blabla.nsi in the same folder.
then edit the "!insertmacro" lines, to fit your codecs.
done.
enhance it yourself, if you need more 🙂
