How can I install these folders on computer except for using Zip2EXE?

I see zip2exe extracts file zip into computer. If I use it to extract into computer, how can I get out of these files? I know zip2exe just extract file, when finishing, I can not uninstall except delete on this disk which I extract.
However I install programs, I must uninstall all softwares to support or these files which I installed.
I wonder my folder with many file *.jar and *.bat or something else, do not have file *.exe.
How can I extract it into my computer which I can uninstall it?
If I write a program to install these files on my system, I just know COPYFILE command to copy these file on destination system. I think I can not use WriteRegStr to write registry. I do no know how to install all these folders on computer except using zip2exe
Please help me!!!
Thank alot,

Hi sunlight112!

The best way to get used to NSIS is by looking at the examples in NSIS' examples folder. Experiment with Modern UI/Basic.nsi, this is a good one to start.

By the time you feel comfortable with the language, use Basic.nsi as a template and expand it with your specific needs.

Have a look into the manual [1]. You'll find a lot of helpful information regarding copying files and directories:



Have fun!
