Hi,
I'm developing an Autodesk 3ds Max plugin for an open source renderer. I would like to make an installer for that plugin, but being completely new to NSIS scripting I could use a little help.
The requirements of the installer are actually much simpler than for a full application:
- Ability to either find the target application (3ds Max), or to provide typical installation location and the ability for the user to modify it
- Ability to copy the plug-ins files to the application's directory (so with administrator rights)
Does anyone have (or know where to find) a working script for such a plug-in installer?
Thanks all in advance.
Franz
Example NSIS script for a plug-in for another app?

Set $InstDir with InstallDirRegKey if the app has a registry entry you can use, probably InstallLocation or UninstallString in the Uninstall key.
