OK, work fine... but i get an error about overwriting some files. because i use this comand to decompress a 7z files and overwrites it:

nsExec::ExecToLog /OEM '"$PLUGINSDIR\7za.exe" x "$EXEDIR\English.7z" -aoa"$INSTDIR"'

and maybe the switch -aoa doesn't recognizes with "$INSTDIR" or how can i set to overwrite some files in installdir with 7z???

thx...

try putting the last set of quotes around the switch and path, not just the path:

nsExec::ExecToLog /OEM '"$PLUGINSDIR\7za.exe" x "$EXEDIR\English.7z" "-aoa$INSTDIR"'

Hi...

Finally this work for me, thanks for all...

but this code worked for me too:

nsExec::ExecToLog /OEM '"$PLUGINSDIR\7za.exe" x "$EXEDIR\English.7z" -o"$INSTDIR" -aoa'

Another issue for me is:

Enabling cancel button during installation

That one's not so easy, unfortunately. NSIS is not engineered to support that easily out-of-the-box at this time.

See this wiki page for more information and a solution.. but it's not pretty:

You can also try bumping this thread to see if the author could contribute their patch to the official NSIS distribution:
